What we’ve decided so far

• We’ll be making a videoo Either a stop-motion or time lapse video

• Our lockers will be painted

• The design that will be painted

Timelapse Video

Examples of timelapse videos

• An object is filmed for a longer period of timeo Usually from the same position and angle

• This is done in order to see how the object or its surroundings change over time

• Ultimately the film is played in fast forward to get the desired effect

Stop-Motion Video

• Animation technique

• The object is photographed and moved in small increments between each individual photo

• Creates the illusion of movement when the photos are played in a long, continous sequence

Examples of stop motion videos:

Painting the Lockers

• We’ll be painting our lockers

• Since our locker room has three sets of lockers

• We will be painting 3 different designs

Skyline Idea• The plan is to paint a silhouette of a city’s skyline on one of

the stacks (probably the longest)

• Famous buildings and landmarks

Making it a timelapse video:• We could record us painting the lockers • Play it in fast forward create illusion of a growing city

Making it a stop-motion video:• In a stop-motion video we would photograph the buildings

alone – without us in the background painting them• Also creates illusion of a growing city

Other Ideas

• Paint a brain on one of the sets of lockerso Beside the left half of the brain we can write things like:

• ”I am responsible for memory and vision”o Beside the right half:

• ”I handle emotions”o Is relevant to what we study in biology & the natural science

program on the whole

Other Ideas

• Paint an hourglass o Upper half of the hourglass holds a melting ice blocko Lower half is a city being flooded by the dripping watero Symbolizes global warmingo Represents the problems coastal cities are facing now that the

polar ice caps are melting

Other Ideas

• Paint cross-section of peopleo Paint cross-section of people of different

background/culture/ethnicity and/or clothing styles

o The organs: brain, heart etc. are painted in such a way that it is evident that they’re all identical on the inside

o This represents the fact that people are all equal
