Test Gif
• Before going in and photographing my the assets for my actual gif, I decided to do a test with some blue-tac
• This helped me get used to the process and the magnetic tripod which seemed to need more and more support!
• The lighting kept changing a little bit over the course of a few minutes which causes a bit of inconsistency. Is this the charm of the hand-made?
• The good thing about this is it allowed me to get used to putting it in Photoshop and setting up the specifications correctly for my actual gif too (700 pixels along the longest side, 72 dpi, saving for web, etc.)
Dracula Gif
• Here it is! I'm so proud of what I've achieved today!
• I was really nervous at the beginning of this session because I was pretty soured at the prospect of collaboration with how the lino printing outcomes turned out with no space left for my stamp design and not many wanting to redo theirs to accommodate my design in the final piece.
• My team were very helpful with assisting in my set up of the tripod for my mobile phone using a mix of blue tac and masking tape and helping to get some red gouache for me for the blood drips. I was incredibly grateful for this and perhaps collaboration isn't all bad!
• It isn't perfect by any means but I think there is an element of "aura" to the handmade
• The lighting changed a lot in the studio while I was taking my series of photographs so there's a slight inconsistency there that couldn't be helped. In a more professional setting, the lighting would not change and be dictated by natural light which is prone to change
• I had brought other props in (cut out letters of my type on black paper) to perhaps play against lighting, but I'm glad I decided against it in the end as perhaps too much would have been happening at once which I am known to do
• Lighting happened anyway against the paper cape and the directional lighting onto my coloured background which was pretty neat and reminiscent of the ballet!
• I'm glad I kept it simple
