IP Senior Thesis blog 

My IP (integrative Project) has taken a turn into a documentary about family, the corporation and the environment - how these intertwine and impact each other, and asks larger questions about relationships to land and place, and how the state of family relationships reflect the health of the environment, etc etc. 

If we valued land as much as we valued a close family member, not as property, but as a being that demands a reciprocal give and take, how would our lives look different? 

How does the future call for a new relationship to land and place?

This is a very very rough start to the story. It is a mockup animation that includes some of the material I have to work with

My MaMa's house! Based on memory. Would love to couple this with the all-encompassing sound of cicadas, crickets, tree frogs and screech owls...

Papa's "Shed" Not really a shed to me, maybe a barn, but not used as a barn would be used. It was a workspace. I just remember lots of oil cans, and walnuts hanging in a little net bag on the ceiling to dry.

Ideation 4 - no sound or editing yet. This is just the photo frames rearranged a bit. Anyone know how to improve the video clarity on YouTube?

This is a really quick practice set playing around with a box, opening it up at different points and angles. This is also a start to explore how I can wrap this chainsaw up into a collage.... Lots of experimenting and exploring. 

This is still shakey and fast. I just downloaded Dragonframe today! I am excited to try it out. Hopefully it will help smooth things out and allow me to focus on the content. Right now I'm juggling the camera/hand holding a tripod.... big no no's I know...

Second ideation with a heavy emphasis on narrative. The idea of telling one person's complex story to understand a complex supply chain. Very rough start. The Tostito bag being ripped is turning a product into its supply chain, and it traverses maps and experiences.  This is about my Pa Pa's life as a logger in Northeast Mississippi, and also the story of PepsiCo's sustainability efforts in agriculture. 

Planning to reshoot the collage animation components. Very rough.

Here is a very rough initial ideation for a sustainability report "Intearogation," questioning the language and vaugeness of these reports. 1st ideation was with an Apple SE 2020 report -  

Questioning the use of folding/ripping/tearing/incorporation of magazines and photos. 
Questioning how a Narrative could unfold, and how to really push understanding what of what sustainability reports are.
