My original video was clutterd and un-clear and i wanted to make a statment about
speed.
Using rotoscope technic I made a short film of the speed in progress.
This came from my orginal speed footage but viewed the ground whirring past my wheels.
The rotoscope shows single frames that I have altererd using New Action button which has now become a fast growing tool for me.
I can see how much it will help me in the future and will be using it next semester.

Wheely un-wheel

I made this as the second submission to the project Spark to the pixel.
I thought of how a spark is a very fast moment in time and want to capture this idea with the action of bearings.
I had to change the way i held the camera for the lowest possible angle.
After i had made this footage i broke it into 6 frames a second so i could change the individual frames.
In photoshop i used paint daub and "NEW ACTION" which i learnt this semester.
This helped me hugly to complete the video.
I didnt want the frame to be reconised until it was put back into sequence.
I like this idea because it made the final footage a blurrie pixelated version of the skating.

Slow motion live.

This is the footage from my circles presentation

Photos

This is 12 pinhole views from a frisbee flight

Darren Glass

Darren has a series of works made by a frisbee with a pin hole camera on the top.
this would be opened for the time of flight, it would scrawl a spiral of vision of what was directly above it.
I found my work to be similar as it was not reconised as actual objects.
So no assumptions can be made about it.

Mapping tricks with circles

For the mapping project I made a series of maps about particular skateboarding tricks.
My idea was to layout the high speed tick in slow motion to get a better view,
This helped me to realise the parameters of the tricks.
Then I overlayed the footage with some photoshopped circles to show the direction of the trick in orientation.
I also added the feet to be seen as circles to show relation to the skater.

Spark t the Pixel

Using some footage of the skateboard wheel made some more similar.
It is basicly a very low camera angle of the wheel.
Holding the camera in a new grip.
This ment i could get the lowest and widest veiw of the action.
It gives the footage a lot of speed when the camera is so low, this is very effective use of footage to transform.
Looking at this i decided it would need some pixelating.
Trying to make it digital i found a filter called "paint duab"
I used "NEW ACTION" to make and action to transform all frames and this speed up the process a lot!
I like the look of the individual frames as they have a certain layer effect to them.
as a moving image i think it is very blurrie.
It was my attempt to immitate "a scanner darkly" style with actully rotoshopping.


Here is a single frame that i took from the sequence
