and so it goes... the first investigation and subsequent model generated were a good study, but holding me back in terms of analyzing the unique properties of the scene. I am interested in studying the emergent relationship resulting from a literal overlay of sequential clips in order to explore movement of the characters across the frame. First, I split the whole scene into the camera clips in order to superimpose them. Though each is of different length, clips were lengthened to a finite amount of time (20s) to exaggerate movement and track new relationships between the different physical layers.

Ideally, the physical form of the 'person' would dissolve and allow for a new reading of this scene from the "Lady from Shanghai." I intend to diagram this process in order to record new interactions between clips when viewed simultaneously. Especially interesting is the way in which the male figure moves across the scene; his very specific gait as is directed and reflected across the number of mirrors proposes opportunities for an animate new surface from which to codify and model.
