Personal Shoot No.4 Work Record

During this shoot, i wanted to  show movement through an animation of a scarf. I wanted to make it look as if it was blowing in the wind therefore i figured that i would do this by using the tween effect in photoshop which allows it to gradually fade into the next photograph rather than just jumping to the next one which would give the same effect.

This is my final animation from this shoot. I began by taking a series of photographs of the scarf moving in different ways. I moved the scarf by attaching fishing line to the ends of the scarf and with the help of a friend they would move it will i took the photographs. This allowed me to get various different shots with the scarf in different places. When i came to editing the animation i began by choosing the best photograph(i opted for the ones which showed the most movement). I then layered them on top of each other to create the animation. I decided to use the tween effect as i felt that it made look more as if it was blowing in the wind which was the effect that i wanted. 

If i was to do this animation again i would like to try and make sure that model does not move at all and only the scarf does because i was hard to find photographs where the model was in the same position because in many of them she had moved slightly which was apparent when changing between each shot. I could also try and make it more complex by having more than one thing moving such as her hair blowing in the wind as well as the scarf. 

I was inspired to do this shoot as i still wanted to continue to look at different ways of doing animation but also through some research which i have done which was where i came across various different animation similar to mine and i thought that it would be something good to try. This meant that i would be able to gain more skills within animation such as tween which was something that i hadn't considered before.

Here are some of the animation which inspired me to do this shoot:

As a result of this shoot, i would to continue to look at animation however i would like to look at photographing an object such as a flower rather than a person. I would like to show the lifecycle of the flower by taking a photographs after i remove one petal at a time.
