The Accidental

 One of these photos was, apparently, accidentally under-exposed by one stop. Can you tell which one?

Nah, me neither ...

These are two photo shoots I did a wee while ago now ... in 2009 when I was on my second go at being a mature student.

Later I removed the background and added myself to some other footage I had shot. The finished works were complex blends of very rough photography-based stop motion combined with a real motion background slowed down so it had more of the appearance of being a still and an out of sequence soundtrack (not that anyone would have known).

In fact, as it turned out pretty much all of it went right over the head of my fellow students. Their engagement was at a very veneerial level (hey, I just invented a new word).

Naturally, I'm not going to present the finished works because these photos are almost more interesting out of context. That and the fact that the finished works were only a step - an extremely long and laborious step - in the process of creating the work which I presented at the end of the year. A video work which did not include me at all.
