new ideas

I want to do a series that allows me to study the difference between seeing something in a movie and seeing it in a still photograph. For instance, you're watching a horror movie so you are expecting someone to die. When it happens in the movie, you may not be too shocked, but my breaking it down into seperate stills, the end scene may be even more shocking. I'm not talking about just doing horror movies. I want to break down romantic movies, comedies, dramas, and even action movies. I want to see if i can get the same reaction to the movie as i do the photos and/or which is more effective at evoking emotion. This project will be ongoing, meaning I will continue to work on it for months, if not years, after i begin. I may even have my friend Christine Zuercher help me out because she loves both film and photography. I haven't talked to her about it yet though. We'll see. This is going to be interesting :)
