KOYAANISQATSI (Life out of balance) and POWAQQATSI (Life in transformation)

After watching these two wonderful pieces of art for three hours i admit in the end i got a bit tired but the wonderful composition of music and great images hypnotized me and influenced my further work a lot. So i made a crucial decision that i am going to stick with video for this brief, i might also add some stop motion to. I started looking into slow motion and other ways of manipulating time of video footage. As i thought if i want to achieve good quality video with slow motion effect i must look more into camera shutter speed settings and frames per second combination's. Now i`m doing research about that and trying to find a manual for the college Canon xm2 camera. I am going to add a few short clips from the two movies i mentioned earlier.
