Stop Frame

Over the summer i have been doing a project to help me make a connection with my work, it is all in a sketch book and files on my computer, one thing i tried to do was make little stop frame videos inspired from snippets of my dreams and it snow balled from there. I am finding a big pull towards film at the moment.

I started by drawing them on paper. Just small drawing and moving them each frame.






 And then putting them together using a Gif app on my phone.



I then did the same with some others using drawing on paper...






I then decided to use objects and played around with the idea using my hand



And then using some clay i had lying around...





I found this very fun! and i want to continue it at college, i don't have a tripod or any lighting really in my house, which i found you NEED. Even clicking pressing the button on the camera to take the shot moved the camera so i might need to invest in a remote for this. Each frame should have no change in lighting or movement from the camera unless i am doing it on purpose, eg. moving it 360 around the character.  

i also did a lot of research on how to build my own completely moveable stop frame puppet and how to build an armature model and i am quite excited to make one. So i cant wait to get back into college.

ROLL ON TUESDAY.

Art & Design Portfolio - Sam Cornwell (Digital)

I decided to start my research on paper based and digital portfolios by first looking at a digital portfolio. One artist who came into the college to do a talk was a photographer called Sam Cornwell, he took us through his digital portfolio. I wanted to think about why his portfolio was digital and not paper based. One of the biggest advantages of a digital portfolio is the accessibility of it. It is easy to send out to employers or people wishing to view it. It is digital so it can easily be send to someone via email or put on a USB and accessed that way. Another reason is unlike a paper based portfolio there is more than one, it is easy to dispatch without spending money on paper to print. It is also instant, you might have to wait a few days for a paper port folio to be sent by mail or spend money on travel to bring it to the person wishing to view it. With a digital portfolio one click and it is sent! I went onto Sam Cornwell's page and found out his portfolio is on his web...

Starting experimenting with photography

After looking into the work of Henry Weston i decided to try and experiment,first, with negative space. It was something that stood out to me a lot in some of his work, as i spoke about in my report. i started by just taking a few pictures as i noticed it around me. I think these are a very interesting start and have a lot of potential, i decided to play around with the editing a bit by cropping them, changing the contrast and making them black and white.  i like this image and i think composition wise it works. i also think it looks good in black and white as it has gotten rid of the chance of clashing colours and sets a different kind of mood. The subject is in focus and it looks quite sharp. I cropped it a little and changed the contrast and exposure.  i prefer this image to the top one as i like the spacing between the feet compared to the first one i think it is more visually pleasing, i also rotated this image just as an experiment. ...

Experimenting with photography - identity

I started off this series of experiments by thinking about myself, how i see myself and how i choose to be seen, how do i identify myself? I started thinking this when i was doing my report on Art Wolfe, looking at his human canvas photographs i wanted to do something with body painting, and i am working on that. But i wanted to try out digital editing first, i enjoy this kind of art and wanted to experiment with it. I started by taking a picture of myself, nothing fancy just me in front of a white background. I have always thought about myself as someone who struggles with identity, in some ways i feel like i stand out but in other ways i feel like i can blend into a background or a crowd when i want too. i kept this thought going by blurring out my face in the photograph. I then decided to change the face and background white to match each other, i liked the way this image looked and felt like it expressed my feelings of no identity. but not strong enough about hiding...
