A Mile in My Shoes

An archival video and website creating a narrative around my Dad’s medals using cyanotype frame-by-frame animation to create a rhythm in the video, which linked to the rhythmic cycle of running. The website I coded myself using HTML, CSS, and a bit of JavaScript, this was so I could have interactivity with the website, such as the sound on the clicks and scrolling down to layer the images on top of each other. I wanted this to feel like you were diving into a different world because one of the things my dad said about his running is that he loses himself in the rhythmic pattern of his feet touching the ground.

These are A4s of cyanotype paper; each page has 28 frames on it. I had about 18 pages of these, and then scanned them in and made a frame-by-frame animation for the video.
