This piece was created by Peter McGregor and his team for South Sydney council, in an awareness for safe driving at night due to the high amount of pedestrian deaths caused. As well as this piece being in place for a good cause it also proved further that the impact of these prominent legs will capture peoples attentions as the numbers in deaths rapidly decreased after the structure was implemented

A Walk Through History
ANIMATION INSPIRATION
1) Walking on History – Sarah Emmons http://vimeo.com/11854020
Finding a video on vimeo that is filmed individually by a woman who is outside the Acropolis Museum. Its mentioned that for about 3 square miles around the acropolis was were the ancient city of Athens was built. The video is a point of view shot of Sarah Emmons walking over perspex glass, showing the ancient ruins below.
This perspective was really interesting to view, I loved it that yet it was a home video that the footage is filmed so simply to show the viewer exactly what they want to see. A possibility for my own animation would to include the legs but what they are walking over/past is the history of Lincoln, animated. It may be that I change the image of the legs accordingly to each era. i.e Roman sandals drawn onto feet etc.
