Equipment not put away, lights left on, chairs not pushed in front of pc's, garbage.
This needs to get better. Some pretty awesome photos, they just follow the president around all the time and take pictures. My favourite one is this one (you'll recognize her if you watched the Olympics Gymnastics this summer) A 3min short documentary on a designer who has created a low cost solution to landmine clearance. ($60 instead of $1200). Pretty well made film too:
"THE MINE KAFON is a Semifinalist in the $200,000 FOCUS FORWARD Filmmaker Competition and is in the running to become the $100,000 Grand Prize Winner. It could also be named an Audience Favorite if it's among the ten that receives the most votes." Someone has written a program to show the Prime Factorization of numbers, and it's really quite beautiful. Of course, this is a Math teacher talking, but still... It advances 1 per second, though you can speed it up too. The prime factorization is shown in the top left corner. Website here. The pic to the left shows 121 = 11 x 11. The website has it in colour, which is pretty. If you've seen it yet, or are planning on seeing the new Bond movie, notice the gorgeous lighting in many of the scenes. A fan has posted a bunch of pics of the movie showcasing the incredible colour and shadow. Click here to see. This guy is a high school student who did a series of photoshopped images as a course final project. He started with a regular picture, and then added other accessories and played with the brightnesses and colours to blend them seamlessly to incredible results. Reminded me of the current project you guys are working on, maybe it'll give you some ideas/inspiration about what is possible. It took him 2 months, and he had a theme of mythology to his images. He shows the steps of how he created each one (ex. top image) on his website here.
Global news does a fantastic job of pointing out photoshopped photos of the hurricane that just swept through the East Coast. Though it caused damage not seen in 100 years, photos (including the one to the left) were widely passed around online but turned out to be fake. Global does a great job of showing where the original images came from that were used to photoshop here. Sometimes the best sports pictures can be a shot of the crowd, or of the players AFTER a great moment. Capturing raw emotion is awesome - maybe it's so refreshing because we spend a lot of our time worrying about what we look like to others, but when we're laughing or cheering or caught up in happiness or disappointment we forget ourselves for a moment. This awesome group picture was shot last year by Lisa N. and includes a few of this year's grads now in Media Arts. My favourite sports pic I've taken of the sports teams this fall is of the sr. girls vball team celebrating after a crazy rally. Most of the cheers after points were mechanical, but this one they were genuinely raucously happy. I'm pretty sure you'll see it in the yearbook. (also because most of the action shots were blurry :) This was created by last year's grad Colin who supplanted the existing model's face with his own. I'm especially impressed at how Colin was able to make the texture/graininess of the existing ad also appear the same on his face. (click to enlarge) It's a flawless job. Anyone can put a couple different pictures on top of another, but the difference between an amateur and a professional is how seamlessly they blend together. |
