Week 5 Homework

Using the category search engine on videoartworld.org I tried to locate a piece of art, either video art or collage relating to theme I am digitally exploring; the swinging sixties. In particular living in the 1960's. This was a hard task, after searching key words such as "1960" "Retro" and "1960 retrospective" I came to no avail. However, I did find an autobiography video art that I could connect to my topic as it was filmed by  Michel Auder in 1960. Its content was based on the day in life of Andy Warhol. Being a major influence at the time I found it was relevant to my topic as I was exploring the popular culture of this era.

Presentation photos before and after

These photos will be included in my final presentation for digital photography.
They include before and after shots. Most of the original photos were shot in RAW mode and have then been altered in photoshop.

The 60's collage

So here is the final collage.
It is made up of 3 pictures from a house built in 1968 that I visited back in March. Visiting the house was the inspiration for the "Swinging Sixties" theme that I have centered my artworks around.
I've also added found images being the carpet and the roof and have changed the perspective of the picture to make it look as though it is a long room. I've also changed the hue and saturation of Wonder Woman and I dream of Jeannie.

Swinging shoes: a stop animation video accompanied by George Bakers' little green bag

Stop Animation Film

The theme of my stop animation video are shoes. Sourced from own collection of heels, and a pair of retro roller skates I picked up on the weekend,  I took approximately 95 photographs. By using a tripod I got a similar effect from a birds eye point of view (not sure of the technical name for this type of shot). I have added a sneak preview here as I haven't yet completed the project in final cut pro. I don't plan on altering the images in photoshop at this point in time.

Coral Paint

Using Coral Paint 11 and a photograph of a telephone that I snapped back in March I created a collage type picture.

I added text to the telephone "the Swinging Sixties as I hope to use this picture in my Video, either in the Opening title sequence or even printed on the disc which I will submit my final assignment on.
