Project 4





Today we were asked to do a kind of stop motion exercise similar to the bullet time effect in the matrix. We were asked to experiment with the idea of time and space. We chose to align our laptops in a semi circle to record in real time. I chose for my action a back flip. Because of limited amounts of laptops being available for our use we decided not to do the full circle and instead turn around and try imitate what we had done exactly the same but facing the other direction to give the 360 degree perspective.

I felt as though we could have improved a lot on our technique by using 1 camera to take a lot more photos in smaller increments to give a more matrix-like effect. However it was an interesting day experimenting with camera styles that we don't usually encounter. I wish we had more time to take advantage of the green screen  more as none of us actually got around to putting a background behind our videos.
