Photo Assessment: Animated Walking Cycle

In my CyberArts class this year we are assigned to do our own project based on photography. I have struggled to find a concept because of everything that has been happening recently in my life. I was going to do four separate canvases with more industrial elements.  Skulls, keys, gears, tools and small pieces of machinery. It was supposed to show the change and transitions through life. The pain I have experienced through my short life. I don't understand why things need to change or why they do but that is part of life and will remain a mystery.

My new concept is people. How we are all similar yet different by what we look like. Everyone, potentially has the same motive and works the same way. I am going to be taking several photos, each a unique person. It will be of a movement. Each frame will be turned into an animation of several different people creating one unique walking cycle. I will be updating this post with pictures and hopefully the animation at some point.

The main challenge I experienced was taking the photos all in one period, making sure everyone who participated showed up and that everyone was lined up evenly.  When editing, only six frames worked because one student broke the chain. The others that followed did not line up smoothly with the rest. out of the eleven images I shot, I was only able to use the six. All in all the actual animation is fluid and came out better than I was expecting.

I will be updating it with the animation soon!
