so i decided on my photography stills to do regeneration the idea is a temporal shift, typically from old into new, and with each generation technology gets better so I'm going to use a Phoenix to symbolise our generation and with each generation it will change asteticaly as well as the model holding it who will be handling some technology of the area it was set in.
from the most reliable source on the internet .... wikipedia
"Although the phoenix was generally believed to be colorful and vibrant, there is no clear consensus about its coloration. Tacitus claims that its color made it stand out from all other birds.[11] Some thought that the bird had peacock-like coloring, and Herodotus' claim of red and yellow is popular in many versions of the story on record.[12] Ezekiel the Dramatist declared that the phoenix had red legs and striking yellow eyes,[10] but Lactantiussaid that its eyes were blue like sapphires[13] and that its legs were covered in scales of yellow-gold with rose-colored talons.[14]"
themes for all five images
medievil
steam punk / victorian
modern day
near future
????
far future
so the change in time should reflect on both the person and the phoenix
- so the change in time reflects our technology
- the change in the model is how technology effects us (end game will probly refer to the singularity end of the world robots style)
- the phoenix will reflect our cultures ideas and myths and how they change do to how we understand the world with technology
we as a species regenerate the next generation always others rebirth and further understanding and enlightenment then the generation before it, the idea that we as a culture is like a phoenix because we are born and nurtured on the ashes of our cultures past incarnation where we can advance or cripple their views or dominate ideologies where as technology is as well as two sides to this
for instance now that the life expectancy is much higher which is a great thing, however those people who are in power can effectively stay in power for longer and if they have negative or even dangerous views about a certain topic, not only would that be the dominate ideology that would be difficult to shift but the younger generations with bright ideas and talents can be shot down because of the eldar generation in power may not agree or even care
did i just go on a rant and i kinda lost my point but these thoughts may help me construct these images to keep both narrative and a comment about our dependacy on technology ....
funny i say that i know that the career i want to go in is very digital.
