House of Cards

House of Cards

I revolved my digital essay around building and destroying. The lyrics have a piece that say, “the infrastructure will collapse, from voltage spikes.” And from this i decided to make my video. I used “light graffiti” and “stop motion.” The point was to show how two cards come together with different suits, and than the card with the same suit as one of the cards disrupts the building pattern and ultimately destroys the creation that the other two have conjured. It is a means to resemble how it takes time and patience to build something, and than is can be so easily destroyed. I had a fun time with this and it was a cool experience learning to use my camera and my laptop even further.
