MASK-announcing the attack and seen again in the end

Some experiments

What I want to achieve

I am working on the models and filming them...

I am trying to work out a way to show them and show the demolition in a beautiful way, trying to work out the aesthetic of decay and destruction.

a few questions that I want to work on...

What makes it "beautiful"?

How can destruction look beautiful?

What lighting is best to use?

What angles should I film from?

How do i present the model in its best way?

...what I am not sure about...

....the spaceships: not quite sure if they go very well with the buildings and with the idea of an aesthetic demolition?

...if the different ways to destroy the buildings can be linked together?

...how I am going to make it look like one happening?

just out of interest, originally I had the idea to use stopmotion, but in the end it did not fit in the concept...

IDEA behind these little models: creating spaceships for demolition....

EXPERIMENTING

....with materials, models and props

the IDEA is:

to build a few models out of different materials that would then be destroyed in different ways,

so far I have got....

• Model 1: paper --> destroyed with water+explosion with firecrackers
• Model 2: cardboard --> destroyed by fire and sand
• Model 3: cast--> model being trampled down ( from spaceship)

PLUS: the story is about buildings that are being destroyed with the forces of nature; fire, water and earth are obvious, as the model is put on fire, collapses because of water and earth and the air bit is the explosion...

...pictures only show first experiments, not final models!
