Process

Using my new birthday present Go Pro I documented the physical process of projection of my photos, destruction of the bonnet/screen/canvas and rephotographing the photos.

I arranged this into a simple video shown below.

In my final presentation I will use the video below. It is the process as documented by the GoPro camera with my final selection of images interspersed throughout, at the times when I photographed them.

In this project the process I followed was equally if not more important than the final images. It required many iterations and processes, layering of images, trial and error, and most of all the help of others. I relied heavily on my family for this project. 

My girlfriend helped me throughout the analogue photography process. Together we discovered interesting subjects including a picnic beach scene with the dog Ken.

My dad helped me at pick-a-part to dismantle the bonnet of a car and bring it back to his house, providing me with a place where I could destroy it.

My niece and nephew ate lunch with me before I began photographing and destroying the bonnet. The setup doubled as a makeshift movie theater. Where we watched a film.

Then as you will see in the videos above they helped in certain parts of the destruction of the bonnet. One layer of destruction included running over the bonnet and leaving wheel marks over it. To do  this my nephew and I painted the wheel of an old wheelbarrow and rolled the painted barrow over the bonnet.

This project was definitely a team effort. It was a memorable process for me and no doubt a memorable process for the others who helped out.
