My project began life very large scale. I had a huge space-train travelling 100 kilometers up. It was then revealed in the brief that our models shouldn't exceed 20x20x20 meters. Playing on this limitation, I decided to scale my models down and reveal a huge sandbox of land to play in.
Getting inspiration from topography, I decided my space would be loosely based around Wellington and that the "body" the brief refers to would be the human race.
How we use a space, how we colonise land, build upon it, move through it with public transport would prove added inspiration.
But I liked the space train too much to let it go.
I decided an evolutionary "stop motion" kind of animation should be the overall theme combining all these fragmented inspirations.
So, as you see in the video, we drop from outerspace (one theory of how life was born on earth),
then emerge from the ocean, colonise the land until everything is destroyed, then flee the dangerous environment we have created for ourselves via space-travel.
A cyclic journey.
