Cinemagraphs!!!!

 

My cinemagraphs are finally done. Although it didn’t take that long to think of and take the pictures, it takes a while to actually get everything in order. For me the problem came with the fact that when my pictures were taken, the camera would move. I had to match up the background and the trees around me to make it look alright. It was difficult but a fun project! I really enjoyed being able to take a photo and adding my own to it or make it different even thought it was already taken about a year or so ago. It’s funny that in one picture you can see me about a year ago and then I am in the photo frame a year later. It doesn’t show much of a change, but it can very funny at times! Hope you all enjoy!

Cinemagraphs

So today we start a week long project on cinemagraphs! We have to take a still picture and make it move in only one aspect. So It will be difficult, but I am up for the challenge!



First up is the picture frame. My plan for this picture is to replace the frame with an animation of me ducking behind a tree or something. I kinda like the natural setting so thats what it will be. Hopefully all Ill need is the woods around here and my trusty old Photoshop~

Second is the lights. I plan on taking them an having one flicker on and off. This idea was given to me by a friend and I thought it would be awesome to make their idea real. So here we are. I already started playing with it and mostly all I have to do is copy the light and make it brighter and darker~ Simple enough!

HALO IS HERE!!!! And guess who is obsessed!

That would be me!!! Halo four just came out and we had to do a project using ipads, so what better to draw then a Halo guy! Haha~ Note, I’m not the greatest artist in the world. And definitely not when it comes to ipads. But anyway.
1) The Idea: Again it came from me loving Halo. It’s awesome and I love it. Also Red VS Blue was a big impact. I’ve been roleplaying lately with them. It’s fun~
2) Theme: Again everything comes back to Halo. I’m obsessed at the moment and people love and hate that about me. From the first Halo is the first book, Halo, and the book Reach comes for of course Halo Reach. So the pictures are famous scenes from the games as well as the posters or advertisements. :D
3) Mood: Both of these games tend to be sad and a little gruesome. So a more serious cover with memorable pictures is a good way to express that.
4) Fonts: The Halo font seemed the most appropriate. It will catch the attention of anyone who knows what Halo is and get them interested in the books.
Note: I went a little 3D happy with thise project! Haha

 And for those crazy kids: HALO and REACH soda!

 And for those apperal fanatics: Rings of the books!
