Owen and I (Vibha) created some videos of garbage on our own using items we found in the free store. This included some furry wires, stop watches, some sheets of wrap. I also bought some plastic bags. We used a DSLR camera with set lighting and a black screen to film most of our videos.
We weren’t too sure about the precise content of the videos and decided to brainstorm and experiment, and ended up filming a few interesting takes.
Our ‘film set’.
I dropped some garbage bags from a height to get the illusion of jelly fish floating in the sky.
We also created a little set with garbage being dumped into a pile add to the buildup of the garbage monster.
We made miniature garbage monsters using the furry wires and dangled the stop clocks with the wire to shoot a video of a pendulum like motion to indicate time running out.
Here are the extra videos we shot:
