Studio and street photography

Image
Studio... Lighting: We applied an orange gel and a purple gel on the key light and the  fill light  We left the back light white and turned down the brightness setting to half way so that the exposure won't go funny.   Altogether we used: Fill lighting  Key lighting  Back lighting Exposure: Because the lighting was so bright, it took a few trail and error photographs to get the perfect exposure and focus.  Experiences: I wanted my photos to turn out with a slight hint of bold colour yet I wanted the background to be white. This, I feel was very close to how I imagined it turning out.  Street... The lighting the I used for my street photography was natural lighting. Getting the perfect photos to put on my last 2 magazine covers was overall a lot simpler then the studio photography as I had to use artificial lighting. One big problem was that the sun kept appearing from the other side of the building that i was shooting i...

MAN animation

Image
This animation was a simple cartoon sequence about man kind killing nature and animals for greed. It exposes the meat industry, and other powerful companies that are slowly destroying the planet. It is a very clever sequence as it follows a simple story line. The short film has a very serious message behind it, this is a very bleak way of getting the message across but shows a sense of humour as well. Steve Cutts used a basic adobe software along with a more advanced version to create the sequence.

Final Triptychs

Image
So this is my final triptych, basically the original idea I had of the polaroid portraits of the human body did not go to plan. The sizes were not right so the body ended up not being in proportion. I went to a LANY concert and  I thought to make a triptych out of the photographs that I took as a back up plan, (just in case). I edited them so that they all had pink and blue undertones.    The colours that i edited into the photos were based on my original idea of the light and dark blocked colours. I toned the contrast up in the photograph on the far left hand side as there was a head in the shot and i wanted most of the focus of on the band. Before deciding the layout of the final triptych I played around for a bit by originally placing the photos on top of each other. I also placed them in symmetry until deciding on this layout. The photos that I took were originally all square. I cut half other photos on the ends so that the fit into the spaces i provided b...

Christmas animation

At the beginning of Steve's lesson we watched two animations on the subject of christmas. To start, we watched a modern day animation which was from the perspective of a little girl on christmas eve. Even though it started off calmly, santa clause was not how he seems. there ended up being a slightly disturbing representation of the man himself as he ended up forming into a terrifying creature.  The second film we watched was around 5 to 10 minutes long and was filmed and set in the 1930s. it was based in an orphanage on christmas day morning, although in the beginning scene we see that the children are having a jolly time, all that begins to change. one by one we see all the children's toys begin to brake and disintegrate. yet a stranger that looks a lot like Chris Cringle sees all the children in tears as he peeps through the window and has a marvellous idea to make them all toys out of objects he finds in the orphanage.  i found the first animation quite ...
