Drift Questions

1. How long can I walk without running into another person? Would it be possible to do an entire drift without any human interaction?
2. What kinds of changes would I have experienced if I was to repeat the previous two drift paths at night?
3. What if I based my algorithmic walk on directions I received from random people? For example, Every time I cross paths with somebody on the street stop and ask them where to go next/what to record/take pictures of. Instead of avoiding people constantly stop anyone I could and ask them questions pertaining to the drift.
4. What if I only recorded sound/images based on suggestions of others I met during the drift?
5. Can I stumble across another woodpecker?
6. My drifts took place mostly in residential areas. What I focused more on areas that were more populated/busy/active?
7. Working with stills is very time consuming. Especially when you want to change the frame rate of a sequence throughout the sequence. Can I come out with an easier way to adjust the frame frame of a sequence/create rhythm?
8. I've recently discovered Cinelerra (my FOSS based editing software) works with an EDL file format that is XML based. Meaning I can directly edit the project file without using the GUI. Can I come up with a system to algorithmically edit my drift 3 video? Sound as well perhaps? Something similar to Animusic (see youtube) or the performance Glenn and Seth gave in the Film115 class...
9. Can I limit my sounds/video to only animals? Can I find non domestic animals besides birds?
10. All my images/videos in drift 2 were taken from the ground level. Can I locate spots where I can take shots from a much higher angle?
