I have stared to make my upside down tree. Whilst i am making it i have decided to try and make a stop motion film out of it. However, when i began photographing it and making the tree, i found that, due to gravity, i will have to photograph it lying down to prevent the soil from falling out. This then meant that i was unable to use a tripod for the photos and as a result when i put the film together, it may not make the desired effect. I also found out that instead of slowly making the tree as easy photo is taken, it would be easier to make the tree as a whole, cover it over with soil and slowly dust away soil each photograph to reveal more of the tree - making it seems although it was growing. This is the photograph of the main tree, whilst the glue is setting. It should all be dry now. In order to make a long enough film, i believe that i am going to have to take around, 100 or more photographs. So far i am really enjoying working with these natural materials and having to problem solve along the way to figure out what will make this an effective piece of art.
