Photos / Images That Changed The World

This is a piece I created for my Yr12 Media Studies. I was inspired to make this piece by two things. A wonderful book which hosts a compilation of some of the most life changing photos ever produced, and a beautiful song called 'Hope Has A Place', by ENYA.

I made this piece so that it gave the viewer its immediate message. The vulnerability of human life and its intricate history. Of coarse I was unable to fit it all into a space of just over 4 minutes, so I selected, what I thought to be, the most memorable of world changing pictures. I edited them one by one to be a little more appealing. In the process, these pictures were scanned from the book and some from others. They were then cleaned, stitched (some pictures overlapped the spine of the books) and added a little more contrast to them, thus adding more intimacy and depth. Note I made this piece so that each photograph appears in sync with the music, adding more emotion.

I hope you enjoy my work, and don't forget to add a comment! I love to hear what you have to say of what I make :c)

Yours truly (happy Simming to all!),

everytime I watch this video I always think the same thing. 1) omg this is amazing 2) what asshole of a teacher took off two points and 3) are you sure your not trying to make people cry because you made me cry the first time round and it still tugs my heart strings the 11th time round

(I LOVE THIS VIDEO)

[TheSimMan]

1) Thank you very much :-)

2) LOL He was'nt an asshole :-P But I'm sure he has his reasons for not giving me full marks. But hey, 98 / 100...thats pretty bloody good! So I ain't complaining :-D

3) My intentions are not to make people weep. But if they do, then I guess they received the messeage and meaning to this video :-) Thanks for commenting Likethesteak!

MATE !!! i am in the process of putting a video like this together for a live show that we are doing and i came across this video. I cant believe how similar this video is to the concept that i had !!! If i send you the song that i wrote would you be willing to edit your video to suit the song. Believe me when you hear the song you'll want to edit just one or two of the images around to suit the sound track.. Let me know if your keen you can email me at derektoner@gmail.com and i can fill in

Awesome vid, very powerful. but pretty disgraceful that it didn't have the Hubble deep field in it, IMO one of the most humbling and most important images ever captured by humanity.
