Project Three - Light. Initial Shoot.

Here are some of the photo from my initial shoot, for some reason I couldn't get the contact sheet to work.

Final Clip.

So here it is, couldn't manage to do everything I wanted to on the program but I am happy with the outcome of what I have managed to achieve.

Progress.

Here is a picture of the painting part way through the process of making the stop motion.

Final plan for project two.

For my final stop motion video I have decided that i am going to paint a picture of a photo that I took while  on holidays during study break in Hastings. I am going to record the process of me painting the picture without me inside the shots. Meaning that the picture will seemingly appear by itself.I plan to use a range of mediums while producing this piece, such as oil paint and acrylic paint on canvas and possibly some wax too.
I will all so use a range of tool's such as paintbrushes and pallet knives, I want to make this art piece in a sort of built up style full of layers and interesting colour mixtures.
Through making a stop motion I want to take out of this process of art and try to display the thoughts going into the process. The build up of layers and choices within colour scheme etc.
Here is the photo which i have chosen to take and make into my own art piece.

Playing with shutter speed.

When I was thinking about my shoot that was to be focused shutter speed I decided that I wanted to take a different approach.
I decided that instead of shooting moving object's, I wanted to shoot object's while I was moving. But how was I going achieve this? The answer was simple, so I did a series of shots while skateboarding down Cuba Street, I went right from top to bottom five times. Of course it was quite hard to shoot photos while moving at high speed on a skateboard and trying avoid vehicles and pedestrians.

Anyway, here is the result.

Idea

My idea for this second project is to look at time and how things develop over time, I am going to use the style of stop motion to capture this idea completely. Through stop motion I am looking at developing a film of myself doing a drawing or a painting. Through this i want to try and display my thoughts and ideas going into the drawing or painting. I think this goal will stretch my skills, but it is still achievable, I'm going to have to put a lot of thought into exactly what i will draw as it need to be able to done in such a way that displays my methods and how I develop the picture artistically.

Project One - Proposal

For this Project I have decided after racking my brains to look at something that I remember being said in a lecture by Leon. We were talking about city life and the things that we walk past everyday but simply don't notice, this particular discussion stuck in my mind for some unknown reason. So I have decided to take my own view on it, I want to shoot interesting things on Cuba street that I have not noticed before. I know that one subject that I want to capture in particular is the street art that I haven't seen before.
