More HDR images.

Here are some more HDR images i took yesterday at Carlton Gardens near the exhibition centre.

Building montages

These are the latest thing we've been working on, they are a combination of our drawings and and our photos of buildings that we combined to make an image.

Finshed Fire Video :)

ths is my finished video its not that great but its done!

Fire assignment.

I completely freaked out after problems with my hard drive last night, and not having the images for my video today. thankfully David is letting me drop it off to him tomorrow morning at Dandenong so I've been working strong this afternoon to get it done, now all i have to do is render it, and burn it to a disc :) the part that takes the time.

Sydney Trip:

Sydney trip is getting pretty close, seemed like a long time away when we first got told about it, but time has flown by very fast!!!
I think we'll have a lot of fun on the trip and i can't wait to photograph Sydney! Looking through the plan for what we are going to do, it seems like a lot of great things planned for us, some probably aren't really my kind of thing but you never know, i might end up loving them.
as far as transport and packing goes I'm a little concerned about how we're suppose to fit everything wee need for 4 days in a tiny bag. We all need to bring camera equipment which can take up room, plus clothes and toiletries. we'll see how i go with that, might have to wear all my clothes on the plan and get stopped by security for looking dodgy.
But hopefully we all have a lot of fun and get a lot out of the experience.

Fire Assignment Progress..

I have finished all the photos for it, stop motion, really is time consuming!! and i dont think my footage will make it to the 5 minute mark, not even the 3 minute mark...
after days of getting ideas onto paper, and photographing it i hope it turns out alright. after the long process of uploading the images, now comes to the editing and forming a video. thought there a re a few things im not sure about in terms of the editing process... but hopefully i can figure it out.
All in all i just hope it turns out looking alright, fingers crossed! I'll be spending the rest of tonight and all tomorrow sitting in front of this computer trying to finish off this project, and hopefully it works!!!

Photo Essay.

This is my photo essay, the themem i decided on was water, i hope you like it :)

Second David Hockney image

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was finally able to get my second David Hockney style photo to be uploaded to the blog!! took a long long time but with Laurens help we finally got it to work :)
i like how this image turned out, its done by taking photos ina  row of a 360 view of the alley way in the city.  Asits a very long image i duplicated it twice to make 3 images in a row for the whole image.

Inspiration for photo essay.

my theme for the photo essay is water here are some inspiration images for my theme:

i plan on working with water in a range of contexts.

Fire video

I am starting work on my fire video, i have my final idea and the equipment to get started. I have decided to do a stop motion film of a book, in which i will be circling and highlighting words and phrases on the pages that are relivant to my idea. i will also on some pages be writing words and drawing pictures such as fire. i will be doing it in a sketchy style, with rough circling and drawing. i hope this works well and that i can get enough footage to fill the 5 minute minimum time frame.
i have also decided on my final idea for my installation which will be coverring th ewalls with pages from books, some screwed up some with edges burnt and some with words circled or written on.

David Hockney referance

One of the concepts we worked with at the start of the year was David Hockneys work with montages. He created montages of images by taking many photos in a of one larger image to great one whole image. here is an example of his work:

 this shows how he uses multiple connecting images of a scene to creat a whole image.
With my second hockney i used this idea and changed it a little, by taking a 360 view of graffiti between buildings in one line. i will post that to the blog soon.

how things are shaping up...

this week we have a lot to finish getting up to date, though its a little unfortunate David hasnt been here to help us. we have a lot due on monday, most of which i have completed. I still have to strech my canvas, as do the rest of the class, which we all need assistance with. i also have to finish re-doing my photo essay to post to the blog as it didnt get saved properly :( i am starting to film my my fire video this weekend, hopefully it wont take too long to do! one thing im not quite sure on is on our assessment sheet it says proposal and installation/screening of video, i'm not quite sure what this means as we have sent off our proposals for the installation and video to jenny quite a while ago, so i guess ill have to wait till monday to find out which is inconvenient as thats when its due...
overall things are going quite well :) i had fun working on the HDR images.

HDR

I had a fun day going out to take photos for the HDR project. We walked along the Frankston fore shore and managed to get some great photos. i didnt have a tripod but still managed to get photos lined up nicely thanks to my steady hand :) here are some of them :)

After Effects Video

This was and assignment where we had to create a short animation using simple images. To create it we used a range of transformations to move images around the screen. I decided to use hearts and movd them around to the beat of the music finishing with an arrow. It's not the best quality but it was a good way to learn the techniques.

Stop motion video: Brucey B

finally able to upload my video to youtube so it works on here :)
