dm370 project 1 - ideas

1.) things in little rock: the first schools i went to - shooting locations where i had some of my earliest memories. the playgrounds might be completely different now.

2.) the church i was raised in - maybe record the congregation reciting the catholic creed (in mumbles) and lay the audio track over a video tour of the places in the building i remember most and other places from my childhood like my backyard, the soccer fields, jr high, high school, in a sort of timeline by age. audio track could fade to barely audible by the end.

3.) outdoor spots: shoot the trek up pinnacle mountain, maybe looking at my feet or some weird angle the whole time until reaching the top where you can see most of little rock. or bike trails in bartlett - create a helmet cam.

4.) the place inside the body. first person view of normal daily activity/routines. maybe some sort of internal dialog voiceover that seems disconnected from the things that are happening on the screen, as if the mind were not controlling the body, the way i felt the first time i got high.. that was some scary shit.

5.) find home movie footage of my house from a long time ago and recreate the same angles and shots from that footage in my house today. play both simultaneously side by side
