Usually I like to plan things a long time in advance but the night before the trip I was thinking to myself that when you get home from a trip or event, you look back on your nice photos, but they’re all just static moments in time and if people are present, usually posed for. This can quite frankly be a bit boring after several images and it gives you no sense of what it was actually like to be there. It’s even worse looking at someone else’s holiday stills of a trip you weren’t even on! This gave me the idea to undertake a small project while I was on my trip to Japan (especially as it was the first time I’d been on an airplane).
So, from the moment I left my flat early on Monday morning, to the minute I flopped back on my bed when I got back on Sunday evening, I kept a video diary of my daily events. I started a ‘freestyle album’ on the 1SE app which allows you to add as many seconds as you want for as many days as you want and export it at the end. I recorded individual seconds from many things that happened each day, both exciting like my trip to Studio Ghibli and view from Skytree, to the mundane like my food on the plane and the dragging of suitcases
