in process collage work to create the moving layers of animation 

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 

Ma Ma's house alive at night. 

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. 

Still shots of a nighttime scene in progress -

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.

Disappearing bodies of water, 2013
