Concepted.

So far, so conceptualised two ideas, so here they are:

The first concept very much speaks for itself.  It's a chasm in the middle of the road.  The second image is based off of the idea of manipulating the environment, either with of without an actor taking the role of the manipulator.

The chasm concept would not involve dynamics, solely the chasm existing as a feature of the on the environment.

However the manipulator concept would feature a large amount on animation, albeit on smaller objects.

I've yet to weigh up the pros and cons of both of these ideas, and could quite possibly end up combining them if seems feasible given the time constraints.

With regards to experimentation, I have so far discovered that poorly lit and out of focus footage is next to useless, and that averagely lit, yet in focus footage is usable, but far from perfect.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to film some footage outside when it's light this week.
