I produced this piece by slowly uncovering, piece by piece, sections of the tree and dusting the soil away. Every bit of soil i dusted i took a photo, hoping to make it seem although the tree was growing when i played it back. However, i did not set it up very well and had a bit of the outside of the box showing, which made it visible of the scale. Because i didn't want this to be apparent, i cropped it. Nevertheless, this then resulted in not all of the pictures being cropped exactly the same. This was very annoying as it moves the frame around a significant amount. I was not happy anyway with how the box was looking, as i felt that it didn't have any interesting points to it, it was boring. Because of this i decided not to refill it and just go ahead with this footage, otherwise i would have reset it back up and photographed it again. The sound which goes along with it was taken from a kettle and has been morphed as much as i could. As i haven't got the right technology and experience to adapt sound, it doesn't really fit in with the tree...but again, it was something new which i tried out.
Even though this piece didn't work out, i found that it was still an interesting process to practise. Again, even though the film doesn't work, i printed out some of the frames which i got from it and made that into a handheld flip book (now in my sketchbook).
