idea development for Vernacular project

As i was thinking of ways to take my research there was only 1 way i could think. Recently i got my bike back from my old house and started riding to and from university, something i use to do everyday. So my idea was to record my journey to University and capture the old and modern buildings. I remember watching a clip on Youtube of something similar but a guy with a cat on his shoulder, so i rewatched the clip (above) and discovered he also used cut scenes and time lapse in his video which was also interesting because that added to the effect. The time lapse was the most interesting and important as my video was only going to be 30 seconds long and the journey to University would normally take me around 15 minutes.



Having gotten my vague idea of what to do i started looking at time lapse videos and how effective they are.



Here i stumbled across my second idea which is rather amazing, This video is a time lapse of a house being built over months within 7 minutes, i had the idea of creating my own modern and old fashioned houses inspired by 2 buildings within Huddersfield and i was tryng to get my head around how and what methods i could use.



The next stage of my house building came to this. Game of Thrones! the opening scene to Game of Thrones is a master piece and absolutely amazing, it consists of the Game of Thrones world being created and constructed from a 2d map of the world of Westeros. The way the buildings build themselves is amazing, the inspiration i received off this piece had me change my second idea dramatically to attempt to recreate a part of Huddersfield town in this style, The Simpsons recently did an opening scene like this with Springfield making the towns build themselves from the ground up but in cartoon style which was rather awesome but i cant help but think i have bitten off more than i can chew.
