Pixilationnnnnnnn

So we started the 3rd project, Pixilation, last week and we were tasked in groups to go away and practice the technique. My group headed out to the arboretum and shot some of the footage you can see in the movie below.

Alongside the origami piece I made a few days ago, the movie also includes some short test pieces I did as further practice at home. I wanted to try out a few techniques before i shot my final piece:

This time, further from just the original photographs we were shown how to batch process a large number of images in photoshop. I created a macro for most of the images below to change various aspects of their colour and tone etc. Ive noticed however, that some of the effects I applied can not been seen very well using the export settings I chose. HOWEVER, I am still to learn how to import all the content into Adobe Premier as at the moment, I am making do with iMovie. =)



Right...so while this 28MB video is uploading to Blogger, here are a few other Pixilation videos i have found that inspired me to create something above the norm:

Western Spaghetti by PES

The pinnacle of Pixilation...this movie has won countless awards, and is definitely worth checking out!
Alongside this, I found an Xbox Live advertisement that used the technique throughout using clay models and a human sculptor - This really is AMAZING!!

XBOX Clay

Brilliant, Movie loaded!
