Portraits

For the last couple of days we've been working on taking portraits of our classmates. Still following the rule of thirds and trying to find the light in the photo. At first we were using strobe lights to capture photos, then we moved to natural light. I found that i like natural lighting better, it looks better in the photos.

 This was using the strobe lights, and Sahara took this. You can really see the light in Andrew's eyes.

 This was outside, with Andrew as the photographer. You can see the rule, and also how the picture isnt centered.

 Sahara took this photo of Victoria using natural light.

 Andrew took this one, you can see the detail in the fence.

 I really like this one, Sahara is the photographer.

Portraits

Yesterday we started taking portraits of eachother, following the rule of thirds. Trying to make our eyes pop or to make our photos more lively. This was our first time, so of course these photos are not the best. But they still are something great. We had to play with the sunlight & the angles of where the sun was hitting our face.

 In this photo the sunlight was coming from the side.

Claymation

We started working with clay to make figures and eventually make a still picture movie with those figures. This was still Edward Muybridges idea. He created the first motion pictures. Our group all made different figures then used all of them to make a movie. We would set up the figures, take a photo, move the figures a bit, then take another photo and do that over and over. Its hard to believe that shows and movies like "Bob the Builder" are just pictures after pictures after pictures. Can you imagine how long it would take just to make a single movie? Maybe like 5 years!

Here are some pictures from our movie.

Flipbook

These are the first and last pictures of my flipbook.

Flipbook/Mini movie

We made flip books that show motion in pictures. How we made them was we drew pictures with objects or people in different forms. We did this so that when we flip the notecards it will show motion. After drawing each individual notecard we took pictures of each one. Then, we put the pictures into windows movie maker & BAM! We made a still picture motion movie. Edward Muybridge was the first person to ever create a motion movie out of still pictures.
