Untitled 2

Thanks Paul. The mystery continues.

Your work is of quite a high standard so its high praise.

love this…again I get a strong sense of motion…like the image is about to turn in on itself…

Thanks Melody.
I majored in Animation when I studied multimedia so that could be an influence. I do have ideas for photos that involve multiple moments as well.

If you want to try something fun with your camera:
1. set the size to 640×480 (or the smallest size if its greater than that).
2. take many pictures as you move slowly through a space such as a laneway or street. E.g. picture, step forward, picture, step forward. About 120-240 pictures. It will look strange to onlookers…
3. upload images to computer.
4. import them to a video program. Some programs have a setting in the preferences/options under import or images that let’s you specify how long in time each image will be (duration). Set it to the lowest or around .1 or a second before you import them.
5. drag the images to the timeline and put the playback head at the start and press play. You will see a stop frame animation of your pictures.

Thank you for that info…I”ve never used a video program…can you name one for me to give me a starting point?

If you have a PC running Windows XP, it comes with Movie Maker which is very basic but can achieve the above.
If you have a Mac running OSX, it comes with iMovie which is similar to Movie Maker but better.

The next step up would be something like Adobe Premier Elements (PC) which is a cut down and cheaper version of Premier Pro.

You could also search the Web for “video editing software freeware” and see what’s around.
