Argie Bargie.. Proposal Video June 2011

A seed planted in golden hour whilst driving home to my haven.
Whilst teaching and explaining depth of field to a student, in a moment when they, distracted and consumed by the light globe of immediate understanding, I became lit up with the proposal I will work on this week.
Once I have permissions all round granted from school heir-achy and parents/carers, I will assign a large number of students to be placed within a set, comprised of a white board as bgrnd, and framed in shot from torso to head. They will be directed to face back to camera, and sit / stand STILL. The cameras are static. One on the side profile, again concealing identity, two from behind. The still camera will be filtered with either a strobe or ghost trail in order to show the slightest movement in the student, upon which the student is finished and leaves set - CUT. This will involve up to 50 Students.
Benefits of school is uniformity in dress [uniforms present continuity]
References are now being researched.
Letters to be sent out to parents.
