Close but Not Yet Done.....




I replaced the over the shoulder shot, and put one image of a model that the actor is looking at. The track is not quite complete and theother image i will add tomorrow. I did not get a chance to re-do the sound like you told me, but I will do that for the next week's fianl for sure.

Also I had to remove some of my earlier files to make space for me to upload this latest one so some of the other links may not work.

Audio


So like many others I had to reshoot, but this time I was a little more prepared. I like the look I got this time round, though it is a little dark. When switching my shots are matching up and I added a girl checking him out. I still need to tweak the switching shots a bit. The second shot still is from the old footage and I will replace it with the new one with the images of the model.

Effects


I managed to get the first transition even though the pan is not working...but I am going to re shoot and change my camera angle to avoid the pan completely.

I found this image in the book Monsters from the Id, The H.R.Giger Bestiary. This image is created by H.R Giger as an acrylic on paper. It is titled The Trumpets of Jericho. I’m not a huge fan of his concepts but the art is absolutely consuming. His art is very unique and to me, a little disturbing. But in this image I found a certain feeling of serenity on the characters face, it looks almost angelic. Like Miller his level of detail is very real. Giger was very interested in witchcraft and the occult, which shows in this image. What you see on the side in colour is just some freak of the scanner....looked interesting so I left it.

These next sets of images are from the book Frank Miller, The Art of Sin City. Here you see the first 2 images being the rough and the finished products, the third and fourth are just an amazing mesh of lines. What struck me in this book is the starkness of back and white. Miller has excellent technique and manages to convey not only what is going on in the scene but also the emotion the character is feeling. What is really inspiring is the detail he gets into to finally create a very simple yet complex image. His art takes story telling to a different level by capturing the mood of the character as well as the mood of the entire scene. If I had the opportunity I would post all the images that are in this book.

So I was looking through the national geographic and one usually finds very inspiring and beautiful images there. Thats when I came across this image of the "Mantid". This one is a moss-patterned mantid found in the rain forest. What intrigued me at first, was the amazing art of nature. A creature used by nature or 'GOD' as a canvas, which allowed for the mantid or mantis (as it is popularly known) to camouflage itself from the ones who prey on it. I read on and found that the ancient Greeks were the ones to name this creature "mantis" which meant "prophet". I guess thats because this creature is always seen with its upper appendages folded as if in prayer.

hey....
