Senior Studio

Moving on to Senior Studio. Interestingly enough, there's not much photo work because I've spent most of the year working on an animation. (When it's finished, I'll post it. But there's still a ways to go. It's what I was referring to in the previous post when I said I've been busy).

The animation is in four parts. The first semester I completed parts 2 &3. But by the end of the semester I was a little burnt out on the whole process- it takes a long time to do anything. So at the beginning of this semester I went back to some photographic work to give myself a break. Previously, I used my position as DI photographer to justify (to myself) the lack of picture taking in senior photography. It felt good to get back in the studio, and now I'm back working on my animation with renewed energy... even if it's at the expense of any sort of social interaction. Oh well.

This was the 1st week of second semester. It was more of something to get the ball rolling again, getting back into the studio and all that. Not exactly what I'd call an "original work", it's more of an imitation. Specifically, an imitation of Minority Report, when John Anderton witnesses himself killing Leo Crow.



Just for kicks, here's the overlay picture by itself and without the flip. If you're familiar with the scene, there's a shot of Tom Cruise through the display screen so that half of his face is covered by the projection of of his future self.


The other two are inspired by books.


In this one, there are supposed to be stars behind the man. However, my first attempt at photographing them was a complete failure. So I'm working on that. Meanwhile, here's the photo without 'em.
