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.

Project 1 Fantasy Appliance: Progress 1

-

 For my fantasy appliance project, I decided to go with a toaster. I had no particular reason for choosing it, and it took a little thinking to work out what I would combine it with. I started thinking about bread itself, and the process of creating it. One of the main ingredients of bread is flour, and that is milled from wheat using big machines. I got stuck on the thought of a bread machine for a while, and I thought about a funny way of portraying how bread and toast could be created. Cows eat a ton, and produce a lot of waste from their grazing in fields. And then it came to me: what if I had toaster cows grazing in wheat fields, and instead of creating waste, they created toast? I thought that was pretty clever, so I stuck with it and went to Illustrator with my toaster pictures.  If you go to my previous blog post, you can see the three toaster angles I captured for this project. I threw them into Illustrator and traced away with the pen tool. Once those were crisp, I looked on

Project 3 Cyclical Nature of Things: The Lifecycle of the Automobile

So I've decided to go with the lifecycle of the automobile for this project. Over the break, I did a lot of work to my car and spent a lot of time in the shop. While I was in there, I snapped some photos of the interior of the shop, underneath my car, and various parts/contraptions laying around that I thought might make a neat composition. As far as blending these images into a cohesive story regarding the lifecycle of a car, I figured that I'd break the lifecycle into stages: buying at the dealership, driving, washing, maintaining, and junkyard/repurposing. These pictures represent the maintenance stage, of the car's lifecycle, and would come after the dealership pictures found in the previous contact sheet I posted on this blog. I think these will work nicely for maintenance, but I'll have to get some more pictures for the washing, junkyard/repurposing, and driving portions of this project.

Project 4 Visual Sequential Narrative: Progress

 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.
