Project 5 Abstract Automotive: Final Two

Image
 I ended up doing another car I love for this: the Dodge Viper. Again, keeping it very abstract! Wanted the first to look very Need for Speed like (the video game) and the second to look more clean and "light" so to speak. Both would make very cool posters, which is what I was going for.

       So for this final project, I decided to make some abstract artwork with some automotive photography of mine. I plan to use different sets of cars for the rest of the images that I produce. I love Porsches, so I might make it a Porsche themed project. I also do have some other cars that I could use, but we'll see. I like the direction this image is headed, so expect to see more of this for the final iterations.

Project 4 Visual Sequence Narrative: Weeee!

 I tried another technique to capture the motion/sequence of the act of throwing the frisbee with some radial/motion blurs. I thought that better captured the energetic nature of the act. I also changed the aspect ratio of the image to cut away some unnecessary space. Took me an hour or so fiddling around with the orientation to get something I liked. The composition is raw at the moment with little to no crazy photoshop effects going on besides the blurs and some color correction, but I wanted to leave it this way intentionally for this progress post as it is the idea in its raw state. After looking at it for a while, I do appreciate how clean it is, but I do want to add some effects to it.

 I love playing with my pups, and playing with them is most certainly a sequence. I thought that frisbee would be an interesting subject for this, and I had a bunch of photos of them in motion running for and catching the frisbee, so I went with it and started playing around with it. Here's what I've got so far. I've composited a series of images taken at different distances. I thought that compositing them all together like this illustrated the repeating sequence of playing frisbee: I throw it, they run, they catch it (or don't), they run back to me, and the sequence is completed.

Had some more fun with these and played around a bit with different orientations of things and colors. These two were my favorite that I made. I added some blueprint elements to the first one which I thought looked neat and broke up the composition in an interesting way, and for the second one, I rearranged everything a little bit and added more "chaos" to the mix.
