The Raven

Yes, I know this is not a raven! It is in fact a Red Winged Black Bird. I created this with photoshop using some simple techniques. I used the blur tool, Brightness and Contrast and used a glow tool. The background should show a feeling of sorrow and creepiness.

Dalí's real name was Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech. He was born on May 11, 1904, and died on January 23, 1989 at the at of 84. Dalí liked These kinds of paintings and different behaviors because he thought it could draw more public attention to his artwork, and to annoy art critics. he was very serious and highly educated whose great intelligence could grasp new and challenging ideas.


Here are some modern day photos of surrealism

Racism Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbPG-v4ttbE
This is the video I chose, it makes you think very emotionally.

The main focus of the video Is showing that race, colour and language dose not matter. Everyone is different and unique in there own way, if we all work together we can make a difference. They all join there hands together to show that we can all stop racism.

This videos point is to show that if only one person decides to stop, it will not change. If we all join together as one it will slowly stop.

Some techniques used in this video are:

.Shots: They showed mostly the heads of different race and coloured people and different eyes as they open with a sad disappointed face, along with different size and coloured hands joining together to stop racism.

.Music: The music used in this short film is depressing and is played on piano and a light humming.

.text: The text is white and bold, each different race has a different type of lettering to use there cultural text.

.Voice/Voice-over: Surprisingly there were no words used in this short film. Even without any voice this video is tremendously strong. I think with words, it may have taken some of the videos value away.

.Sound-Fx: The sound is crystal clear and very well put together along with a great message. there are no major fx used but it still works well.

I enjoyed this video, it says stop it and truly means it.

I was amazed after i saw this! it is just a extra video i found : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFO1b9I-u5Q

Optical illusions/ Optical Toys

Me and my class have started a new unit, optical illusions! One simple yet very effective illusion was called the Thaumatrope by John Ayrton paris, 1825. The thaumatrope means "turning marvel" or "wonder turner," this toy became very popular. Thaumatropes were the first of many optical toys, they continued to provide animated entertainment until the development of Animations.

It's a small disc, held on opposite sides by pieces of string. you need to draw a picture on each side of the disc, when the disc is spun the two pictures appear to become together. If you wanna spin the disc, one string is held in one hand, and the disc is turned to wind the string. Then, both strings are held, and the disc is allowed to turn.

This is a example of the Thaumatrope, this one has the illusion of a flower in a vase

Video Sequencing

Last week Our teacher told us to go see some links and we found some really cool ones, one awesome Technique I learned to use was to take not just one shot of something but to take multiple shots to make it more interesting.
A good way of sequencing is to use the video to change your perspective by using wide, long, far, close and short different angled shots.
using b-roll to make your video more eye catching is very effective it gains viewers attention, instead of filming something boring and slow, take a video of different angles.

Hyserical productions

Logo Project Coloured

This is my logo project. I chose a hyena, They are more closely related to Aardwolves, Mongooses, and cat like carnivores Rather than dogs. Hyenas can be found in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert, and in parts of Asia. Hyenas live in the savannas, dry plains, and brush. The hyena can be a fun loving animal but it can also be serious, Just like my company. The hyena has lots of spots to represent that we can do multiple projects for you at once. the smile on the hyena represents we are a happy company, always trying to make our customers happy.


we always try to do whatever we can to get what you need. Our company can be very laid back or very hard working depending on what you would like us to make for you. We treat our costumers with care and respect there decisions! If you give us a dead line we will finish it when you need it. hysterical productions represents a hard working dedicated company always willing to give you the best for your buck!


In my opinion I think the coloured version is the best, it contains alot more creativity and vibrant colours. our colour shows we are original but very open to any opinions.

Logo Project Greyscale

The greyscale version starts from the top dark and bold than gradually turns white and lighter. It's showing we can do huge tough jobs or smaller easer ones. Our company is always willing and ready!

Logo Project Black and White

The black and white version is just as good as the others, it still shows our company with great style and it has great unity with colours.

Line Assignment Number 2

This rhythm is ongoing, starting small from the middle then endlessly growing bigger. It shows that even if your small you can still grow bigger and better everyday. this rhythm is powerful and straight just trying to reach a goal, ignoring things that get in the way. The rhythm is powerful and shows that everyone can grow in many ways, just focus on your goals.

Line Assignment Number 1

My rhythm shows how our every day adventures are, always approaching road blocks and being able to over come them. Some ways are easer than others and some are harder to avoid. The rhythm can start off calm then turn unsettled just like us, this rythem is full of emotions.

Rousseau The sleeping Gypsy

IMITATIONALISM
The portrait I picked to critique is called The Sleeping Gypsy by Rousseau made in 1897, NewYork. This picture does not represent imitationalism because the proportions are uneven and the woman is missing an arm. The colours in this painting are realistic.
It looks like the gypsy wanted to take a rest in the desert. The picture feels calm and peaceful because of the left over space. This picture is very impressive either way.


EMOTIONALISM
Critiquing this piece for emotionalism is a diffrent story. It looks calm yet depressing at the same time because of the gypsy. The womans face looks tired and unhappy, as if she has taken a very long, exhausting walk. The lion looks as if he is less interested in eating her and more like he is her guardian.


FORMALISM

the formallism is well thought out on this piece. every colour looks great except for the gypsys dress. The lines are smooth and flowing, as if the desert is a sea of sand. the lines varry between sharp and strong to soft and small. the shapes are well proportioned but not quite right. The sand looks as if you could touch it, it looks very soft. After looking at all these forms of art, I still think this painting is a work of art.

Very cool flip book!

This is a awsome flip book animation of a very silly puppy!
