The Misplaced Oligopoly of Curated Time
2 months ago
This entire process took weeks. I remember specific days of cutting for 20 hours straight and only taking maybe three bathroom breaks.
For this timelapse, I had my camera take a picture every couple minutes most of the time since the span of time was a ridiculous amount of hours. Unfortunately, I lost all the other photographs when my computer decided to delete stuff. There are also gaps because my battery kept dying. What you see are 6 panels out of 15. (This was for a final project for one of my classes.)
To see what the finished panels look like or to buy one so that I can afford two more years of grad school, visit:

Thank you so much to the people that have bought one. I owe you my academic career.

Although the music is a little bouncy (which I think is perfect for this), I had to add this to "The Epic Channel for Battlin' Folks" because of the sheer amount of time and effort put into those panels.
Now, as your life coach, I must recommend taking the weekend off to sleep. I mean, with the 100F weather, all you will want to do is stay inside, anyway, right?
Psh it was an epic battle that consisted of me getting a bunch of blisters and cuts. I've been going strong trying to rewrite all those documents I lost...this weekend is BAY TO BREAKERS!!! ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_to_Breakers ) Woop woop.
I know today I had donut seeds for breakfast then later on in the day i got a migraine and got so dizzy and literally started seeing static and sparkles and weird abstract silver coloured things against a black background....then I realized it was time to lay down for a little bit. I also realized later that before the donut seeds, I hadn't eaten anything in over a day. Summer time brings healthy living...school brings death and destruction.
P.S. I'm glad the skeletons are finding a good home with you. <3 Thank you friend
You're getting my second favourite one... (I'm secretly glad it's going to a really good home)
I can't wait to hang out with yoooouuuuu!!!
it'd be so much more fun with a friend.
oh yeah, uh the panels are AMAZING.
Xacto vs. scissors? I like how we both could basically perform surgery with our tool of choice.
That'll show them.
Way to get a good run out of that wallpaper fabric, too!
That pirate ship blows my mind and it takes a lot to blow me.
HAHA
I mean.
Booyeah. Let's ride on it and see what happens.
The sad part is if it touches water, it will die.
Dumb paper.
haha
great job Karen
Hahaha. Having a bad case of insomnia helps in getting a million things done. I think it's such a silly thing I've done because the medium of construction paper is so juvenile yet beautiful in its own regard. snip snip snip! Thanks so much for the kind words.
ahahah
Thanks buck!
I'm just glad that portion of my life is over. haha.
"Beep boop beep beep boop boop!"
Bop.
haha
I have to have one of these!! I love the little computer break in the middle :)
Okay - I hope you're charging a lot for these - cause they are awesome. I can't decide which one I want... are there any left?
At first I didn't know how much to charge, but I think it's a pretty good price. If you hammer out the time i spent making them it falls in between 50cents to about $2 an hour of work. not including paper costs hahah
All of them are pretty reasonable except the pirate ship one, but apparently not ridiculous enough for someone to actually buy.
Paper is a beautiful think.
and Thank you for for adopting one of these pieces, you will make the perfect father.
Thank you for your constant support and friendship. :-)
ps- i love glue sticks. and i really like this song. and the dinosaurs on your shirt.
You are sooo soo soo sweet and wonderful. :-)
Thanks for all that you are and your constant glow and encouragement to me. Also thank you so much for providing a home for one of my panels, they and I are greatly appreciative.
i love you too <3 boop boop
And thank you for taking one of my panels in with your arms wide open.
This is fun; I admire your determination. What's the music?
at first I was like...ugh what is he talking about?
HAHAHHA
you're sharp.
pee pee.
i'll get shrew to gang up on you too.
I really love this. I can watch it again&againagain&againagain&againagain&again
again&againagain&againagain&againagain&again
again&againagain&againagain&againagain&again
again&againagain&againagain&againagain&again
again&againagain&againagain&againagain&again
again&againagain&againagain&againagain&again

If we were bffs the world would implode with the cuteness of our paper cut outs.
And elephants are insanely cute...!
(Speechless)

Hahaha just kidding.

Haha

Thanks rems. I shall make some arts and crafts to send you <3
The music of Yann Tiersen is extremely well suited to you film.
Yeah I cut myself a couple times while working on this. The worst ones are from the paper more than the knife I feel.
boooo
thanks jacob.
Your creativity shines through (as usual).
Thank you for sharing it.
Only problem is now I feel lazy :-)
It's summer! There's no room for laziness! Just fun activity..bike riding...kite flying..picnics...swimmings...!! <3
Take care sir!

I think that would be nicer if you showed us the result in the end of the video.
There must be something in the end, you kept us watching and waiting and that must ending with a goal.
But i like it :)

Those two rooftop robots are you guys except for the buildings got closer together and turned into one house.
And the gap disappeared
i thought the same thing! 'cept, i imagined myself falling off the side of the building and he sprouted wings, flew down, and caught me just before my head cracked open.
my hero <3
