Mountian Conquest Movie
...The title might sound a little dramatic, but don't let it throw you, its from an Of Montreal song. One of the most incredible aspect of Google Earth is the ability to visit the highest peaks to the lowest points in the sea with no more effort than typing your desires coordinates into a search bar. Both of these places might not be rendered more than blurry geometric figures, but the idea of creating a pseudo-realistic world in which you can fly between continents in a matter of second leaves one with a sense of power, almost as if in a lucid dream state. This is why, for my project, I propose to use my dream ( and most everyone elses' dream) of flying and couple it with visiting the highest peaks I have ever been, stopping by to see the view, in a matter of minutes, much like a real dream. This dream will start from my bed in the small town of Truckee California, fly through downtown and up into the sierra Nevada Mountain range I know so well. From here my tour becomes a little more fantastic as I stop by The Italian Alps, Mt. Vesuvius and finally the Rif mountain range in the small town of Chefchaouen in Morocco, supplying a view from Google earth and a picture that I have taken from each one of these mountain ranges. These are all mountains that I have already visited so my ties to them are clear. With help from Google I will attempt to make alllll my dreams come true.
