My part starting from the red bird jump off the platform then finally reach the entrance of the bright place.
This part is really a challenge for me. The point is to show the space which means I need to use the moving of the shapes in the background to create a tunnel. I realised I have to cut those paper into different size, big to small, and make them moves through the specific track which like a spider web.

So the big amount of papercut is necessary. Also, the direction of the works we usually do is from left to right and this time is front to back. It’s a challenge for my imagination of space. Inspired by this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-4OHQNwObk. I want to make the tunnel more clear, but I didn’t find a suitable material. So I decided just to use one black paper for the background.
Honestly, its really tired when I cut papers. I was like a machine with scissors. And everywhere is messed up except space under the camera.

I choose two ways to shot, in normal and reverse order. And the way of cutting paper is the opposite. When I shot in the normal way, the size of the fragments is small to big. Then I need to prepare a set of paper cuts. I did a test, although they are not perfectly in the same shape it still works smoothly because the fragments move too fast. So I shoot in the normal way when the bird flying fast.

The reverse order is suitable for the slowly part. I thought it’s going to be easier than the normal order. It is quicker when I cutting papers but it’s really hard to control the rhythm. If I got a reference at this time it must be very helpful.
