Light Tracks

One of my ideas about the everyday is recording the journey of light. Like a light track. I want to record while I'm in a moving vehicle and catch the light reflecting and casting shadows. Most of this will be scenic images....images while travelling. In the editing I want to merge the shadows of a certain scene with the shadows of a different scene which I have filmed while travelling. I presume the outcome will be kinda montage like.... This film piece by Hans Richter has certain qualities which I find would be related to what I want to achieve.




Because I want to film in a moving vehicle with the camera handheld I was looking at Vertov's 'Man with a Movie Camera'. He records everyday life and uses some time lapsing aswell.
