“As an animator, I tend to look at time in a
different fashion than many,” explains Staven. “Space and time are infinitely
divisible or expandable with animation. Each second of screen time can take
from 1 to 48 separate images to exist and seconds, minutes,
hours, days or more can elapse
between the creation of one image to the next. Decades can be compressed into
seconds and seconds can expand into hours.”
Staven intends to create a
variety of animated photographic explorations of various environments available
in Everglades National Park; possibilities include:
A. Photographing biological
specimens to find patterns in shapes, colors and texture (for example, multiple
pictures of many mangrove root patterns as they arc down into water or land can
be lined up by size or shape to create an organic movement over time);
B. Exploring space from the level
of a creature 6 inches high with the ability to have a small human embodying
the point of view
C. A time lapse journey along
major or minor trails with short visual explorations of interesting environments/fauna
along the route
