John Edmark
John Edmark is an artist who combines math, architecture, computer science and animation to bring life to his art pieces. His art will definitely blow you away. They are 3D printed sculptures that animate when under a strobe light. It's animation effect is achieved by progressive rotations of the golden ratio which is phi (ϕ). This is the same ratio natures uses to generate spiral patterns. When they are spun while lit by a strobe light (or captured by a video camera with a very fast shutter speed) it animates.

If you get the right rotation speed and strobe light speed or camera shutter speed, you will get achieve a similar effect to this video.

Alessandro Vannucci
Alessandro Vannucci has used the motion parallax technique to add motion to some of his standard 2 dimensional images. This is done through using a combination of using Photoshop to separate the objects in the image, and using after effects to add motion to each object and using a 3D camera the add depth.
In this image, he has used photoshop to first of all edit the image by adding a quite a lot of contrast which brings out the vibrant colour of the orange clothing. He has then used it to separate the model and the rocks from the background using one of the tools (eg. Lasso Tool, Quick Selection Tool) Then he has imported his images into a program like Adobe After Effects which allows him to move each object he separated in the scene and add motion to it to give a 2.5D look.

In this scene, he has used the same method as above using photoshop to edit, and separate the objects in his image that he took. However, in this specific scene, he has used the blur tool on what looks like one of the models clothing. Since it is also quite close to the camera, it creates of depth of field which is something that I will be attempting to do in my final piece.

Mattia Bicchi
Mattia Bicchi is an Italian-born photographer who lives and works in London. He had a passion for photography when he was 8 years old. He studied photography at London College of Communication, and specializes in Timelapses, Hyperlapses, Landscape and Architecture Photography.
In this specific scene, Mattia seems to have used a slider to add motion to what would be a very boring scene. I will try and a similar effect, but it won't look as a good since I would have to add it in during post production which will affect the quality of the image. She also recorded this during the dark hours of the day making the lights of the cars and surrounding buildings really stand out. It also seems that she has taken into account the rule of thirds by positioning the road on power points.

In this scene, Mattia has gone to the inner city of what looks like New York and created a simple time lapse in the middle of the day. I could easily recreate something like this by going to town and setting up my tripod with an intervalometer and leaving it for about 30 mins. She has composed the image to not only focus the audiences attention on the sky, but the tall center building. In addition, she most likely used a low ISO and a high shutter speed since there seems to a good amount of light.

Nicholas Goodden
Nico is a professional London photographer who is specialised in creating exciting visual content for global brands. One key thing he does is stay up to date with the latest marketing and photography trends to then get these two to meet in a happy place.
In this cinema-graph, it seems that Nico is doing a promotion for a car. He has used a bright orange colour to create a real contrast between the background and the car and model. It's saturated colour focuses the audiences attention directly on what's really important. He also seems to have used the rule of thirds and power points as another method to draw the audiences attention on whats important. The only moving part if this image is the headlights which draws the audiences attention (once again) on the car.
|
This cinema-graph uses a shallow depth of field to focus on the foreground objects (beer can and glass). However, it's not too shallow so we can still make out some details of what's going on in the background. There also seems to be a warmer colour temperature, this could of been achieved when it was imported into photoshop and he added a photo filter. The filter gives off a calm feeling, which is actually the purpose of beer.
|
This cinema-graph seems to be purposely drained of saturation to keep the audience focused on whats important (the billboards). The animated billboard is fresh, attention grabbing and most of important of all, tells a story. Red seems to be the dominating colour in the image because of its vibrancy.
