After getting the equipment together for my stop-motion piece, I headed down to the location where I was going to shoot the animation, which is an old abandoned mill in Bradford. I felt like this mill was a great location for this project as it epitomised the story which I was trying to show in my stop-motion piece. The topic which I'm talking about in my City In Flux project includes how buildings decay & new ones take place and how people only recognise the new buildings and forget the old ones when thinking about the city they are in. The mill has a history itself of once being full of people and being known as a part of Bradford, but now since it has been wrecked and abandoned, people only think of Bradford as the place where the National Media Museum is and where the first IMAX cinema was made.
This video is only a first draft to see how the footage in video looks overall and is meant to show us what we can change next time for the final thing.
