NFB Animation

A few weeks ago in cyberARTS we took a trip to the National Film Board to do a workshop on clay animation. Here is a link to our animations. My groups animation is "Kitty Love".

I thought I wouldn't like animation but it turned out to be really fun. It takes lot of patience which I have little of for time consuming tasks but it was really fun!

Pinhole Photography!

Hey Everyone,

Recently for my cyberarts class we took a trip to a photography studio. We learned about pinhole photography and made our own pinhole cameras. Pinhole photography is pretty much what it sound likes, using a pinhole to take photos. What you do to create a pinhole camera is make or find a light tight container that can open and make a pinhole in the container. The pinhole acts as your apperature (where the light comes in or the lens). You create a shutter (to block the light when your not capturing a photo) by using some sort of light tight material.
On this field trip we made cameras out of tin cans. To make them light tight we spray painted the inside matte black and sealed any area light could come through with black electrical tape. We drilled a hole in the side of the can to be covered with the real pinhole. We made a pinhole in the cut out bottom of a tart tray and aligned the drilled hole and pinhole. From there we taped the tart tray bottom to the can a placed a piece of electrical tape over the pinhole as the shutter. All we had to do is place a piece of photo sensitive paper opposite the pinhole inside the can, go outside and take a picture by letting light in the through the pinhole!

Here are two other Pinhole artists I found to be interesting on the web.
Wanda Scott
Katie Cooke

I had a great time learning to use a dark room and to take pinhole photos. If you ever get an opportunity to use a pinhole camera, USE IT. I feel pinhole photography opens a whole new artistic world to those who use it. Try it out!

Camera Angles

This photo represents camera angles. It was taken at a low angle to make the bricks appear taller and bigger. It could also represent texture or lines.

Lines


This photo represents lines. The spokes of the bike wheels create horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines. This photo also has a lot of texture, looking at the grass and the tires.

Linear Perspective


The photo represents linear perspective. The bar shows you depth and dimension, leading your eye inwards. This photo can also represent light and shadow looking at the side walls.

Rule of Thirds


This photo represent the rule of thirds. The photo is divided into thirds, he water tower and then two sections of sky. The photo could also represent texture if you look at the trees or light and shadow if you look at the water tower.

Texture

This photo represents texture. You can tell that the grass is textured and sticking up. THis photo cold also represent linear perspective.
