I wish I had the chance to see how the film images turned out but despite that, I feel like I was able to create tipsy // hallucinogenic images and I think the colors also help give my idea an exciting // playful feel and puts the viewer in a weird environment

Final

I wasn't able to pick up my film due to not having the money to pick them up, so, I am completing this final with my digital camera, I'm just working on finding more models and editing thus far ; also the pink diamond above is the one I've been using to create my images

I'm waiting to get my film photos developed, hopefully have those by this weekend and will post them over the weekend ; from there I will decide which medium I prefer the best ; here are just two of my favorite ones so far

WEEK 1

FINAL PROPOSAL

Design 4 Media FALL 2011 ; Outline


When given this project the first thought that came to mind was the idea of making my own kaleidoscope lens. I had come across a variety of images that have had this kaleidoscope effect on them and had been wondering how one could produce those kind of images without the help of photo shop. Since I love creating and working with my hands, I feel like this would be the perfect series to explore with in class.

I want this series to be of 5 or more different models to play with the idea of dressing up ; I want it to be fashion inspired and that's whether it is with costume (wigs, face paint, costume props) or going out for the night to dance and party. I want to use a lot of color, purple, pink, teal, yellow etc. I want my models to wear a lot of make-up or jewels ; I want it to be an exciting piece and maybe even have a new years feel to it ; Because of the kaleidoscope effect you will have a skewed perception like one is a little tipsy which would go perfectly for the theme.




Week 1 ; Nov. 14th - 18th
gathering music and image inspiration through ; mood trying to convey, color, theme, idea, what I'm hoping to achieve. As well as gathering prisms and different colored diamonds to create my own kaleidoscope lens


Week 2 ; Nov.  21 - 25th
Have kaleidoscope lens or lenses made ; already out shooting with models with several different cameras ; 35 mm film cameras and digital ; explore with different types of color film to see which works best for what i'm trying to explore upon ; post what I have and where I need to improve or do differently
