This sketch was created to explore the idea of progress in order to create a narrative. In Art In the Streets, Melanson uses the device of a timelapse to show progress of a wall being painted. This short clip contains a lot of information presented in a short period of time, with the graffiti artist being shown to paint a wall, a job that (presumably) would have taken hours/days.

What this sketch seeked to explore was the difference in narrative/attitudes surrounding narrative when a time lapse video was used. Videos of the two of us studying are shown in both normal motion (100%) and fast motion (5000%), with essentially the same information presented. The sped up version of the clip made us look more positive, motivated and energetic, while the natural speed video created no excitement/feel of montage.
