some school work

I promised you some pictures of a advertising assignment... so I guess I have to post some of them then...

This is a picture we took for reflection and exposure references. Different surfaces and textures.. real exciting right?
oh well...moving on...


A colour palette. Just a grey background lighted with colour.. It is colour gels (filters) that we put in front of the flash heads so the light gets the colour we want. And it depends on the power output and the settings in the camera how bright the colour gets.

Cool right? yeah.... NEXT!

This is the main event in the assignment.... All the other pictures were taken to prepare us for this shot... it's shot with a 5x4 camera.. which means that the negative (or in this case the negative is actually positive, called transparency film) is 5x4 in size.. inches... yes it is... and it is not a roll of film.. only single sheets... hm..hang on... I'll find a link to somewhere that can show you what kind of camera I'm talking about...
could not find one... (I didn't bother looking so hard either) but you can do it your self... just google 5x4 camera or large format camera... it's easy:)

anyway... I have a picture of one.... I'll show you that.. hehe




So yeah.... there it is... quite fun to work with...but it takes forever... hard work... moving on!


sooooo back to the shot of the glass.... Nice isn't it? hehe.. yeah.. it is what we call multi-exposure.. that means that I have exposure'd the film for light multiple times... In this case we did it three times... One for each colour in the background and one for the highlights in the glass.

I had to make huge stencils for the background... one for each colour... the background had to be white where I wanted the colour I had on the flash heads and black for where I didn't want it.. And of course the other way around with the other colour...

In other words..this was a incredible hard way to do a easy picture...


Now you can see why I haven't posted any school work yet... There is not that much to show... Its more for technical practise.... hehe

Well..now you have seen some.... I'll post more school work after I've done some... have just finished this one.. don't have anything else at this moment...
