To create this video, I composited several distinct framings of each location into a single screen of information. Each facet depicts a separate moment in time. The sounds of each facet layer together to create a folded-time cacophany.I'm not really sure why I like creating composited images so much. There's something about it that's interesting and fun. Maybe the allure is that I'm able to play with time and space simultaneously. Each of these composited scenes is made up of 7-second video elements shot one after the other, but compiled in a unified space on the screen. So in a four-element composite, you're actually seeing 28 seconds of time simultaneously.
This is a follow-up to Break Time, a post I made in September.

- Outside Muddy's Coffeehouse
- Genie's Cafe

Nicely done. It's like math and entertainment combined. Is that your DS on the table in Tinys?
Good eye, Blake. Yep, that's my DS. Mainly use it to play Electroplankton and GBA games at the moment.
I'm @ Tiny's right now and just wanted to complement the button vending machine!
Ed, as with the first one you did, this is is very good too. I loved it. Even more so than the composition itself, the anlges you use!!!
I like this a lot. I would like to see a full lengh movie shot like this.
