FPS override

Parallelism editing/ experimenting fps override with the new Magic Lantern firmware. I shot this with n 85mm lens at 4fps with a 1/24th shutter. If you have a Cannon DSLR, I encourage you to check out the magic lantern software! It's incredible. http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Lantern_Firmware_Wiki

Week 8: Laughter

Vibrations

I stumbled upon this old art gallery and film screening building this week. A contractor was inside renovating the building for a new owner. He let me walk around and take pictures.
This used to be the projection wall where art films were screened. I overlayed a sound wave of someone laughing on the wall as I'm sure there were countless comedies shown here.

I wish I could have stumbled upon this place when it was thriving with art and film.

Simultaneous

Bad things happen to good people. Sorry girls

Leitmotif

We're learning about different editing techniques in Workshops. Just a fun little exercise. We have to do 5 of these. Here's my first one. Leitmotif: musical repetition

Week 7- Light

 Seven years, waiting
Week 7- Light

 My friend and I went back to the location that we shot the last scene in my last film "navel.". It is a closed, abandoned golf club. It was spooky and we might have heard weird noises but I got a really eerie photo. The chair was positioned like this when we got there; looking out of the only window in the whole building that was not covered by ply wood. After some research I found that the golf club closed in 2005. The most interesting thing about this place is that there is no sign of life. What happened here?

Micro-fiction

This is the description of the project.
I experimented with different images and thoughts. The mood wanders toward dark humor. 
working with after effects, adding sound
Take your 250 word MICRO-BIO-fiction from Thinking Time. Clothe, pose, and re-photograph the character.  Record your story as voiceover. Create a second soundtrack in After Effects using only sound effects. Experiment with spatial sound mixing, creating left/right stereo pans, echo, and reverb. Edit your photographs to the soundtrack.

Narrative Collage

Here is the description of the project:

Bring in examples from Fine Art, Photography, and Film of the figure as identity. In class, use the figure to draw gesture and poses which communicates the psychological aspects of: Identity / 1^st person, The “Other” / 2^nd person, Context / 3^rd person.  Think about the psychological aspects of drawing the figure.

Create a sequence/series of drawings of the figure. Construct a short narrative, moving from 1^st to 2^nd to 3^rd person. Focus on revealing the identity of the character through an unfolding narrative. Display your narrative visually by presenting the images in sequence.

Collage, mixed media, sequence/series

Goodbye Old Friend

Week 5: I left my heart in.....my childhood home.

My parents are moving to California on March 1st. I have so many great memories over the past ten years living in this house. I'm going to truly miss it. 

I purchased a disposable camera with 27 exposures and took pictures of my favorite places around the house. The experience was filled with nostalgia and happiness.
I hope that the new family enjoys it as much as we did. 

In the upper left is the view from my room I stayed in during my high school years. Next is my closet where we used to hide under my clothes during hide and seek. Bottom left is the creek that flowed through our back yard nature preserve; my sister and I went rafting down it after a large rain-fall. Lastly is the bat house I built my dad last fathers day. 

Here is a link to a picture of all of the exposures:
