Week 1

Final Photographs

Almost Final Product

Barry Frydlender

After looking at Barry Frydlenders's photographs this one was my favorite. The complexity in the photo amazes me, but yet it looks like it was taken very easily. I love how the majority of the people are just standing there and minding there own business. Many of Barry's photographs are like this. There is a lot of going on and yet people just stand there. When I was in class Meg and I were talking about the lighting in the picture. It looks very natural but I feel like this is a still image from a movie. I don't know why I get that feeling. It just looks like I am watching a still movie. Every time I move my eyes I feel like I am watching something new. It changes every time.
My final project will be different than Barry's style. I will only be using two to three people max and will add "special effects" to it, but I may shoot in the downtown area or other highly dense people so there may be more. I just want to avoid that. I am going for a more comic feel to my pictures than something serious.

Panorama Progress

Proposal

For my final project I am going to do a stop motion video. I still do not know what direction I am going to take it, but I want to make it similar to the example I made last week. Because stop motion takes so long to make I plan on making it no longer than 2 minutes, and turn in 8-10 prints. So to make it easier on the prints I want to make it a short narrative. The prints will look slightly different the video because I will make adjustments to the prints, such as contrast and color correction. I am still unsure of what toys/dolls that I will be using. I am leaning on using a different toy where I can control its movements better. I may keep the Toon Link doll because I use it with other things and the size makes it better to shoot. I know that I will not be using people as my main subjects, but there will be people in the background as I will be shooting on campus.
