Welcome project..core skill


Welcome project Term two/week one -Monday.
Whats inside your brain Welcome project was the first project of the term. Had to invent a welcome lei (necklace) thats relevant to whats in my brain at the time. The colours black and green I was thinking off then mussels, ocean came to mind. I gathered black, blue and green feathers, artificial green flowers. I then cleaned the mussel shells, pulled each shell apart, spay painted the mussel shells with black gloss spray paint. I used glue-gun to cold-bind them in place. Used cloth material for the underlay to hold the shell necklace and mussel shells.
I really enjoyed putting this object together, I actually had fun with this project. I named this welcome lei "Ocean Beauty".

Vertigo/Dolly shots video..Lens.

This video contains dolly shots from different movie sequences by Richard Cruz.
These are Vertigo (Dolly shot) techniques from Alfred Hitchcock.
I really like this technique, it gives the scene a good effect look.
I am experimenting dolly movements along with other video techniques
such as Pan, Tilt, Tracking and Dolly zooming.

Rraw....5 images

Bewitched Park by
Leonid Afremov
Palette knife, oil painting on canvas.
Leonid Afremov is a professional oil painter from Mexico.
He would be the first to master the palette knife at what he does. 
He uses brilliant bright vibrint colors in his exquisite, outstanding detailed works. Afremov gets his inspirations from his inner world and brings it out onto canvas. This is an incredable piece from artist Afremov not just the one but many of his works. It has a realism look and the lighting is amazing, makes me feel cold. It riminds me of winters night in nz, the wet smooth pavement glitters with the street lamps and moonlight shinning gently onto the pavement due to the rain. The reflection that can be seen on the smooth pavement of trees and street lamps are extroadinary.

Shiprock storm by
Mitch Dobrowner.
Navaja Nation, New Mexico. 2008.
A N.Y photographer Mitch Dobrowner takes photographs of ancient structures, he feels honored to capture such extraordinary places that has been arround for thousand of years, places that has seen and witness much. Capturing their images in a manner that he inwardly experience. Once he feels "in touch" he waits patiently for the right lighting and weather conditions. Dobrowner likes working with B&W photograph images, b&w interprets reality the way he see and feel. Dobrowner don't see the work as just pure landscape photography, also as an excercise in light, form, and capturing the drama and intensity that these naturally beautiful landscapes deserve.This image makes me feel like wanting to be in its presence to witness one of natures most beautiful ancient structures myself.

Drawing restraint by
Agnes Cecile
Rome.
I see three faces, lines, black and white painting.
This portrait painting by artist Agnes Cecile (aka Silvia Pslissero) has a deep motional intense feeling to it, this person looks stressful, trying to rip out some of his/her inner unwanted feelings and disgaurd it forever. Kind of reminds me of a digital game I played once, a male riping out his soul, this image has the look alike. Cecile uses watercolours, most of her works reveal symbolic subjects giving it another dimension of character to be admired by the viewer. Cecile uses a variety of application techniques to create visual interest to her paintings. Her watercolours are constructions wild and the lines that form an emotionally expressive portrait of the subject  Every painting is unique, and yet each of them expresses the artist style. She captures a certain subtlety emotions, strong but restrained feeling appears to lurk just behind many of her portraits eyes, a certain understatedness that pairs well with her medium.

Charcoal on canvas by
KwangHo Shin
2013.
I see a young girl, black and white, half of face has been smudged from nose down.
Kwangho Shin is a young south Korean artist best known for his abstraction paintings. Working with oil paint, acrylic and charcoal. In his paintings and drawings, Shin attempts to capture the complex relationship between the expression of emotion and the experiment of the mind. With roots abstract expressionism, he employs intense and vibrant oils juxtapose with charcoal to distort the facial features of his subjects and confront them psychologically. Faces are deconstructed but retain the power of expression as the artist reimagines them in a patchwork of carefully yet energetically apply strokes of colour.

Colours of lake Oesa by
Michael O'toole
Date unknown.
Michael O'toole from Vancouver, British Colombia born 1963. His love for design led him to explore his creativity in variety in media including watercolours, graphite, pen and ink, gouache and acrylics. Currently focusing on acrylic, his diverse subject matter ranges from landscape and seascape, to architecture and portraiture. Michael believes that his paintings reflect a balance of emotion and technical skill. Painting has become an "all consuming passion". His canvas prints are published by Canadian art prints and are sold in print galleries around the world with much acclaimed success. I like his acrylic on canvas pieces, I love nature, landscapes and seascapes, they give me calm relaxing feeling. I don't think of anything else, I'm more focused on the scenery and the freshness of the air. The sound of nature drifts me into a state where I do not want to be disturbed, ever.

Basic camera moves..Lens

PAN - The framing moves left and right, with no vertical movement.

TILT - The framing moves up and down, with no horizontal movement.

DOLLY - The camera is mounted on a cart which tavels along tracks for a smooth movement.

DOLLY ZOOM - The camera moves closer or futher away from the subject while simultaneously adjusting the zoom angle to keep the subject the same size in the frame.

FOLLOW - The camera physically follows the subject at a more or less constant distance.

PEDESTAL (PED) - Moving the camera position vertically with respect to the subject.

TRACK - Roughly synonymous with the dolly shot. 

TRUCK - Another term for tracking and dollying.

CRAB - A less-common term for tracking or trucking. 

The seven deadly camera sins...Lens

FIREHOSING - Is the sin of not knowing what to shoot. You just sort of wave the camera arround hopeing to capture something. 

SNAPSHOOTING - Is when the camera starts too late in the scene and stops too early.

HEADHUNTING - Is when a subjects eye is not centered in the frame: half way down from the top and half way in from the sides.

BACKLIGHTING - Is the sin for posing the subject in front of the sky or ski lope the foregroung to much darker than the backround. It gives the image a silhouette look.

MOTOZOOMING - Is when the camera zooms in and out too quickly and too often in a take.

UPSTANDING - Is when the camera is in still position. The camera is only moving in one spot.

JOGGING - Is when the camera is jumping alot in a scene.
