Stop motion

It’s a beautiful day when Mr. Square is happily walking under the summer sky. Little does he know that Mr. Triangle has been plotting to murder Mr. Square for some time now. The audience sees Mr. Triangle creeping up behind Mr. Square with a Glock .30 aimed at his head. There is a dramatic moment in the story when the audience sees the bullet slowly fly towards Mr. Square. As soon as the bullet penetrates him, he fades from the scene and goes to heaven. The evil Mr. Triangle begins to celebrate his success, however he does not notice the thunder clouds beginning to form overhead. As the thunder clouds begin to pack together, a gigantic lightning bolt forms in the sky and ironically strikes Mr. Square. The lightning bolt represents Karma, as it strikes Mr. Triangle since he has committed a horrible crime.


The purpose of this story is to portray Karma. Many hindu and buddhist people believe in Karma, which is defined as “the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences”. We wanted to convey to the audience that every negative decision you decide to make in life will come back and haunt you. In this case, Mr. Square commits murder and he does not live much longer to celebrate his success. This is a great example of Karma at play.

Double Colors Exposure Assignment

Image
I began this assignment by first taking multiple pictures of my subject to ensure I had several options to pick from. Once I uploaded the three pictures to Photoshop, I overlapped the different layers to ultimately overlap my subject on top of himself. I then entered the blending options in the fx window and played with the RGB combinations. This turned out to be an easy assignment, however it was a little difficult to ensure the subject was visible. To fix this, I applied the "Difference" filter on the 2 edge layers, which also ended up giving it a cool negative effect.

Forced Perspective Photography Assgnment

Image
       My goal for both of these pictures was to experiment with depth of field to create an image that makes the object in the background a lot smaller compared to the foreground. For the first picture, I acquired a miniature monument of the Eiffel Tower and placed a toy dinosaur in front of it. After playing around with the angles, I was able to create an image that makes the dinosaur look the same size as the Eiffel Tower, which is a massive structure in real life. For the second picture, I got my sister to hold out her hand and instructed my dad to move into a certain spot in the background. After numerous attempts, I was able to create a picture where it looks as if my dad has shrunk and is balancing on my sisters hand.        For the first picture, I would like to change the background since it looks a little bit fake. If I took this same picture outside with the horizon as the background, it would look much more realistic as the Eiffel To...

Aperture and Depth of Field Assignment 1

Image
I took 5 pictures of the same subject, but at 5 different f numbers. The pictures go from a small f number (at the top) to larger f numbers (at the bottom). I noticed that the smaller the f number, the less clearly I could see my subject. The pictures all look fairly similar, however the higher the f stop number, the more I could see in the picture (as in both foreground and background). I found that the larger f number gave me a better picture, however I understand this will vary depending on the light level of the setting.
