Final Outcome (Short Narrative & Research)

For my experimental narrative I am going to attempt to create a stop motion on the story of a snowman. I have researched into this and I found a few cracking examples which have sourced my inspiration.

 I like this example because it has a strong and powerful narrative behind it.

I like this example because of the way that the snow almost melts and flows into each other so simply and the way that the photographer has produced the narrative. I also like the way the snow sort of comes together off the grass leaving trails to represent the past.

I think that this example is good because of the way that the clothing and features of the snowman start on the floor as its almost like the snowman is alive and building and clothing himself.

This example is great because I particularly like the way that the snow-mans clothing and features flows around the snowman and finally into its prime positions at the end.
Below is my experimental stop motion. Although certain things did not go so well such as the camera shakiness due to my tripod falling over and the wind blowing and the different lighting situations that I had to deal with. However as an experiment I think it was successful.

Harold Edgerton: High Speed Image

Harold Eugene Edgerton who is also known as 'Papa Flash'. He was an electrical engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  He is hugely credited for the transformation of the stroboscope from an unknown laboratory instrument, into a common device. Edgerton was also involved in the development of deep-sea photography and sonar. Edgerton was born in Nebraska on April 6 1903. Edgerton also grew up in Nebraska and later spent some of his childhood in Washington D.C.  Edgerton credited Charles Stark Draper for inspiring him to photographing everyday objects with the use of an electronic flash. In 1937, Edgerton started what was a lifelong association with a photographer named Gjon Milii. He used numerous studio electronic flash units, to create stunningly striking photographs. When taking multi flash photographs, the strobe lighting was able to flash up to 120 times a second. Edgerton was the p...

Experimental Short Sequence of Movement

Tutorial on how to create a short sequence of movement (Time-lapse) The first thing that you want to do is open the images that you would like to use for the short sequence of movement.  In order to do this you need to go to File - Open.  This opens up a tab in the middle of the screen you then want to locate the folder which has all the image that you have shot of the sequence of movement. Once you have found the folder you then want to open it and select the first image and then click on the 'open image sequence button' This then opens up a smaller tab with the frame rate option. I found that 24 fps worked the best for my short sequences of movement. The time-lapse should now have loaded into photoshop and will be visible in the centre of the screen and each individual frame can be seen in the timeline at the bottom of the screen. You then want to go to File - Export - Render Video. ...

Koyaanisqatsi

Koyaanisqatsi meaning life out of balance is an experimental American film which was produced in 1982. Koyaanisqatsi was filmed between the years of 1975-1882. The film tries to show an apocalyptic vision of collision of two completely different worlds. urban life and technology versus the environment.  The film mainly consists of time-lapse and slow motion footage of natural landscapes and cities across the United States. The tone of the film is set by the juxtaposition of photographs and music. I think that the most interesting scene of the film is when it shows a time-lapse of a crowd moving and then disappearing all of a sudden, it make sit satisfying to watch. Its almost like watching ants swarming in a nest. This scene can be seen below.
