"Distance over Time" is part of my research into making appropriate content for delivery over the internet. Distance over time is about the concept of travel or movement. It contrasts moving footage taken from different forms of transport with the self determined, mechanical movement of objects.
The film moves through time and space multilayering images and sound as it moves faster and faster towards the end of its journey. The film is intentionally experimental and conceptual using the shape, colour and pace of the images as the formal structure. It was filmmed using a Canon Powershot S200 digital stills camera at a very low resolution (160 x 120) and edited in AfterFX. There are two different versions here; one 56k version and one for broadband (256k). Although I experimented with various codecs and file formats, Real is the one that gave the type of compression and image/sound quality that I preferred.
