Sound

Playing around. Silly, i know. But somehow, i cannot stop laughing.)

Barbican recording

That's the staircase that was interesting to shoot, but as video shows, not in right way.



I decided to start with this building. It shows the rhythm in photography with it's columns; has an interesting design with open/closed windows and roundish shape; apparently, has another floor underneath.
And actually, it was easier to record outside for me. Not feeling pressured with walls and tiny ceilings, and lots of screaming children running around. The feeling was almost, freeing.




Study of Barbican

That's some work i've done in last few days.

The idea was from the short movie "Sandpit" which i posted earlier - to use the still images to create a dynamic movement in video. It's called stop-motion (animation).

After i spent several hours taking photos inside of Barbican Centre, i understood few things:
- i dont really know how to shoot the floors and rooms; it's hard to focus on something certain in place full of interesting details;
- it's much more interesting to record the staircase and the outside, because they both have dynamics in themselves, rhythm;
- and maybe i'll try to focus on some pretty closed spaces or very wide locations; like the contrast between them and the feelings they create.





Practice shows that it's actually hard to do the detailed stop-motion from the first time.
Need to focus more on pictures i take. because you wont know the result until you see the finished video.

Something, that can inspire.

Atelier Olschinsky

Found this artist. Not sure if it's drawing or collage or photoshop or altogether. It's still impressive.
