**"WATER" PROCESS**
Some failed attempts with hand sanitizer and fire on concrete made us re-think our direction... here are some interesting images created from our attempts with Ink and water (above and below) to create the word 'water'. This approach worked well, but we saw room for improvement. The final cut for the experiments above are available for viewing on the link below.

With this experiment we hoped it would result in some sort of water-repelling action with oil and water, in which we could use small stencils, floating in water, filled with oil to create the desires characters... It's obvious that there were no successful results formed from these tests

On a similar road, we were hoping to draw letter forms on accetate and have in float around in inky water to spell 'water'. We imagined the acetate would be less visible in the bowl, however the ink really exposed the acetate forms in the water....

In these tests, we were thinking that painting out the word in indian ink, and washing it away with the tap, would result in an interesting result, however, it wasn't very exciting, and lacked the feeling we were aiming for.

The final cut for the experiments above are available for viewing on the link below.

This was an experiment we did where we dabbed a liquid, in this case soy sauce, on paper that would soak it up to spell out water. You can see the outcome in the video below

purple shampoo in the shower... and interesting idea with great colour ..unique visuals are created, however, we aim to create the word WITH the chosen element. This could have been a good alternative had other experiments proved to be unsuccessful.

"AIR" PROCESS


This was our experiment using black pepper to form the word air and then blowing it away using air, you can see it in action in the video below

"FIRE" PROCESS
failed attempts to light hand sanitizer concrete led to some re-thinking the location of our little word-fires.

What turned out to be a great solution... the kitchen sink created a great 'canvas' to draw our letterforms on with hand sanitizer. Different type arrangements, capitalization, and camera angles helped us compile many photographs in which to form a great stop motion video from.

we lit and blew on the fire to create nice movement in the letterforms, as well as to reveal the letter slightly clearer... and create more interest. Images from our experiments with fire (included in our final video). View the link below! **

We are very pleased with the outcome of this video. The images are quick and sharp just like the movements of the flame itself. It jumps from one position to another, allowing the eye to follow and stay captivated by the flame's crudely drawn characters (If its moving the eye will follow it...). The changes of the type's case shows fire can be bold and blunt. It can light a single character whole, spell or display an entire word, and it can be soft and elegant like a script typeface.
