stop frame photography

Today i was introduced to the studio with the group. The studio was prepared with lights and a canon 5D camera. We learnt how to set up the lighting, the backdrop of the studio and setting up the camera from a height.

 We used coloured sheets to use for the backdrop of each video to set for each scene. For the first video we used a blue sheet for water, the first video was an example of what we could photograph, using George as an example. we took 24 images for each second of a video.
 For this video a song preference would be, Adele - rolling in the deep. the song would fit in nicely because of the rhythm of the song.



Video 2 we took control of, we used ideas as a group to choose a skate boarding scenario on a "half pipe" leading to tricks and ending up loosing the skate board and finishing in a curled up ball.  we used a yellow sheet to create the half pipe. by moving the skate board slightly each time, we we able to create a realistic video and by moving body parts each frame. By the end of the film, we were able to pull it all together and create a film. a song preference to this would be limp bizkit - just keep rolling because it brings in a feel of the scenario.

Video 3, we took a scene of someone walking along the path with a suitcase and clouds passing her along with a sun. For the sun, we used yellow sheets wrapped up in the shape of the sun, gray sheets to create a path, a blue sheet for the sky and white sheets for the clouds. This worked well because by moving the white sheets (clouds) it looked as if the time was passing by. A song to go with this would be adele - chasing pavements.
