Week 8

Hello, hello! Long time, no speak. Over the past 2 weeks, I have purchased all the last minute things needed before the shoot. That includes; a blonde wig, cards, plants, fake flowers and cakes. Unfortunately, on the day of the shoot, it was extremely windy, and we were unable to shoot outside :-( And I have no free-time to re-scedual, so as I've said before, 'the show must go on!' All went well though. I had lots of fun dressing up & playing the part. We spent hours setting up, taking shots, waiting for the battery to recharge, then re-doing shots. It was a long process. I was reasonably happy with the results - considering that not everything turned out my way. Here are a couple of the shots taken - both original and edited. This is probably one of my favourite shots. I really feel Blythe's creepy eyes engage with the audience. I also feel that I have accomplished creating a creepy, cute and playful world, that I am very happy with. My only downfall is the quality of my shots - some turned out a little blurry =) Next steps are; more Photoshop editing, arranging it all in iMovie and choosing the music to fit my film ???
Today in class we also looked at video art. One of the interesting pieces that I found, titled Three by Three, was created by Margeaux Walter. I related this piece to the Braidy-bunch straight away LOL. I like the idea of different characters in their own worlds. Here's the link: http://www.videoartworld.com/beta/video_421.html
