animation assignment

This is my final stop motion video. it talks about how you should keep your money from gambling. the frame rate is 0.1 seconds. the video is 1 minute and 5 seconds long. there are around 730 frames.
the video was too big to post here so I'm putting the link so you could go see it on youtube.

enjoy :)

ps, I forgot to put the name of the song in the video, so here it is Da-P - Limit Break.

You can find the artist on SoundCloud. 

And here's a screenshot of my working place and where I did my stop motion video. I used Adobe Premier pro, because photoshop can only convert 500 frames to animation. 

moving picture lab

In this lab, we created a stop motion video. For this one, i used 237 pictures or frames. The frame duration on each one except the first one is 0,1 seconds. The video is approximately 30 seconds. 

At the end, the settings are not the same, because I had to change places. 

Enjoy :)

Portraits

In this lab, we had the chance to make portraits of faces. The first three pictures are done in a studio with artificial light and the other three are done with natural light where the person is positioned next to a window. 

this one was done in the studio with artificial light. he face is at a 45 degree angle. for this one i used short lighting. 

this one is called "split lighting" because the light only hit one side of her face.

this one is the portrait. the artificial light goes straight on her face. as you can see, we don't see much of the white in her eye, because she moved them slightly to the right.

for this one, I used the window light. Its the 45 degree shot. the light that hits her left side of the face is called "short lighting" and the one on the right, that's the most closest to the camera is called "broad lighting".

This one is the spit lighting. Again, the light only hits the left side of her face.

For the portrait, the light directly hits her face. once again i asked the model to move her eyes a bit to the side so we could see the color in her eyes.

Focal Length of a Lens

In this lab, we test the length of the focal lens. With my camera the mininum is 18mm and its the widest, so we can capture everything but if you want to focus only on the face, you use the telephoto lens (55mm for my camera). 

in  the first picture our subject is doing a kick. for this one i used the 55mm lens. as we can see, her front leg looks a lot bigger than the rest of her body. 

 with this one i used the wide angle lens (18mm). we can see that her whole body is normal size.

here i used the telephoto lens (55 mm). same effect as the first picture but different body part. Her hands look much bigger, even as big as her head.

In this one I used the 18 mm lens (wide angle). We can see everything clearly and the camera is not only focused on the hands but on the whole body.

For this one used the wide lens (18mm). the camera is focused not only on her face but on  everything else.

For this one, i used the 55 mm lens. Her face looks more appealing.

The qualities of light

For this post, I'm going to post three pictures where I played with the light to create a more realistic and we could say tastier image (the chocolate muffin).


First of fall, for this picture, I only used direct light from the left angle. Thus, we can  see a shadow in the right corner, because the light is hitting straight to the left side of the balloon, the pink icing and muffin.

In this image, we can still see the shadow, but it looks like its fading away. I did that by putting a white screen in front the light, so instead of hitting directly balloon and the other objects, it goes through the screen that diffuses the light, its the same function as a cloud.

In the last one, as you can see there is no more shadow and the muffin looks much more tastier and the color of the icing is much brighter. For this one I used the direct light with the screen that diffuses the light but i also used a reflector. A reflector bounces of the light that is hitting it. So, by positioning correctly the reflector behind the muffin, the balloon and the icing, it bounced of the light directly on the back of the muffin and the other objects. Thus, it removed the shadow and it brightened the objects.

planet panorama

I took the pictures for my planet panorama on the balcony of my third floor. Its a really nice view when it creates a panorama but when i put it in a planet shape it creates a different kind of perspective.

Had some difficulties because of the light.

The Color Wheel in Photography

In this lab, we played with the color wheel. With the three primary color : red,blue and green, we could create different setting for our pictures. .

for the first two pictures i used the color Red and blue. with mixing these two together we can see that it gave a sort of a magenta color with a nice blue effect behind the object.

As in the third, fourth and fifth picture  by putting together cyan and red, it gave away a neutral color in the middle.

Here in this picture, i put green and red but with a blue background. but we can see that the red color is getting deleted by the blue background.

white balance

in this lab  we experienced different kind of white balances like tungsten, fluorescent, and daylight.
In daylight mode the best white balance was the fluorescent one. In fluorescent light mode the best one was with tungsten. In tungsten light mode the best one was the tungsten one.

DAYLIGHT:

tungsten: R; 88      G;167     B;224

fluorescent: R:176    G;184   B;221

daylight: R;178    G;177    B;172

auto white balance: R;140    G;145     B;141

FLUORESCENT LIGHT:

tungsten: R;84     G;122      B;125

fluorescent: R;138    G;117   B;112

daylight: R;126    G;103        B;53

auto white balance: R; 125   G;127     B;122

TUNGSTEN LIGHT:

tungsten: R:86       G;103      B;113

fluorescent: R:132     G:98      B;99

daylight: R; 135       G:97        B:60

auto white balance: R;102    G;98    B;87  

light painting

In this class we created light painting using only our camera and a some sort of light (flashlight, glow sticks, etc...). 

Histogram

 this is a high-key image before i made the color level adjustments as you can see on the histogram.

this is the same image but with the color adjustments. it is a lot whiter as you can see on the histogram.

this is a low-key image as you can see on the histogram, it is not that dark.

 same image but i adjusted the darkness of the image. its much darker as the previous one, see for yourself on the histogram.

 this is a mid-key image. as you can see on the histogram the colors are dispersed.

this is the same image but as you can see on the histogram, all the colors are mostly in the middle. that why the call it a mid-key image.
