Film

I didn't realize that I have to post! That other post isn't my real one.

I love film. How articulate. I really hope to be involved in the field someday. It'd be sweet to work for Pixar or a different film company someday. Sadly, I haven't had much time to look into other film places or just enjoy a lot of films. I have a lot of great ideas though. This is a terrible paragraph.
Film is perhaps the most complex art form, in my opinion. Actually, my dad said that. He only wanted to challenge my decision of going into film someday. He probably thinks it will be a ton of work, and it will be, but it's what I need to do so the work load doesn't bother me.

Art of Film

This used to be my bio blog, and kind of my photo blog. Now it's my art of film blog.

Brush Developing, Acrylic Painting, Reticulation, Bracketing, and themes!

Brush Developing: expose an image normally and paint developer on so part of the image is developed and some isn't. Highlight key parts of the image.
My opinion: This was so cool! I really like my images. I think the image that's not of the sunglasses would have been more effective if we could really tell what the focal point of it is, but it's nothing really significant... just a stack of duct tape with a dry corsage on it.

Acrylic Painting: paint over parts of a print with acrylic paint so to cover a part of the image completely...

My opinion: This is really cool. I like my image. The colored part is my curtains, by the way.

Reticulation: develop film with hot developer and wash with super cold water. This temperature shock will distort the film and make images look awesomely grainy.
My opinion: pretty sweet. This image looks especially cool because the ceiling is already grainy-looking. I just wish i could have taken more images that would work well for this technique.

Bracketing: instead of taking a picture in front of a bright window area with a normal light meter setting, open the aperture a few more sizes so more light is let in, which makes the outside scenery show up better.
My opinion: this image is cool. I wish we could see the shape of the ball more. Oh well, it's cool that we can see what's outside my front window!
