This commercial is not depicting a real event, but show's a professional photo shoot pretty well. Plus it's funny. I'm trying to figure out a something to copy the technique in this video for, but nothing's yet come to mind. The purity of the reactions is so engaging!
Neat idea. Great video using simplicity. Especially good use of focus to guide the viewers eyes. Really beautifully designed website too - with minimalist graphics and shows why a limited palette of colours is a good idea. Website here.
As a math teacher also, it's fascinating for a whole other reason. Now, is it going to help or hurt math students? PhotoMath from MicroBLINK on Vimeo
I think they'll continue to improve it, but I was pointed towards this error:
Remember, you're smarter than you're calculator, because you can tell if an answer makes sense.
2 things to keep in mind when you're printing photos.
1. Expect it to print a little darker than what you see onscreen with all the light shooting through your monitor. 2. There can be a wide variety in how they turn out depending on where you get them printed. Neat website showing the variety. So where would I suggest? For cost, cheapest is Costco or Walmart, or Snapfish (online if you can wait for the mail), if you are just getting snapshots and don't care about the quality. For quality, where we live I recommend PhotoExpert in Scottsdale Mall. They do an excellent job, you can put in a photo order online, and they said if you mention which school we're from and that you're in the photography class they'll give you a discount, so it's not that much more expensive. You can use your video making skills to sell products, to advertise things, etc. Or you make the world a better place. His pictures of the citizens of NY are incredible and bizarre. But the stories and quotes he gets, from being real with other people, are just as good. Facebook made 10 videos for their 10th anniversary, and one of them was on him. His website. Humans of New York from Facebook Stories on Vimeo. What effect does this have on (primarily women, though men to an increasing degree) to see an image of beauty on media everywhere (ads, magazines, videos, tv, etc) that is not just unattainable, but LITERALLY unrealistic and impossible to attain. Concerns about this has led to really neat revealing videos like the ones below. The first (Dove) was the first big commercial I saw that showed this. Up until then I had no idea. At first I thought it was rare. But now it's apparently expected and assumed that "just about every image of a person we see on TV or in the movies these days has been digitally retouched to some degree." (source) |
