Practice Story Reflection

The assignment we had to interview one person in our team about something they like or do. My group chose to interview me about how I love music. They were asking me questions and I was answering by restating the question. We placed the interview in the library because it was quiet in there. We did my B-Roll around the campus because I was doing a variety of things.

The audio needs to be perfect - Not too loud, not too soft. That was the main thing we had trouble with. Karlie was absent, so it was up to me and Erin to edit it all. We finished editing, or so we thought. When we watched it, the audio was way off, so we had to delete our first export.We had to go back, and adjust the volume on each and every piece of video.

From doing this project I learned that working in film editing is really hard. You think it'll be the easiest thing, but this, to me, was the hardest assignment this your in GT. The key aspect to this project is teamwork and cooperation. I think if our whole team was there, and Karlie was there, we would've done a little bit better. 

Polar Panoramas

These are two examples of my Polar Panoramas. To make your own planet, you start with a 360 degree panorama, with a clear horizon line. you make these by taking 10-15 vertical pictures with 50% sky and 50% ground while turning in a circle. The pictures MUST have a 10-15% overlap, or the project will not come out right. Once you have your pics on your computer you open them in adobe photoshop, and photo merge them, and if you took your pictures correctly, it should work perfectly. Crop it so it is a rectangle. Once you have the pano exactly how you want it, change the size of the image to 5000 x 5000, than rotate it 180 degrees. If you do not rotate it, it will turn into a spherical panorama. Once you are ready to make a polar panorama, click filter > distort > polar coordinates.

If you want to add a person to your polar pano, have someone take a picture of you while standing on a stool or chair, (Be Careful!) and perspective is EVERYTHING!!! If you don't get the shot from above, it won't look real. Open the photo you want in photoshop and use the Quick Selection Tool to select the background, then right click, and inverse the selection. Feather it, and add it to your polar pano. Command C and Command V (copy and paste) your person layer and Turn the exposure down and opacity to about 40% for a shadow. Place it where a shadow would be and there you have you standing on your very own planet!!!

Spherical Panoramas

These are my finished Spherical  panoramas, which I made in photoshop. You begin the Spherical Panorama process with a 360 degree panorama, with a clear horizon line. you make these by taking 10-15 vertical pictures with 50% sky and 50% ground while turning in a circle. The pictures MUST have a 10-15% overlap, or the project will not come out right. Open the pictures in photoshop with photo merge to make your panorama. Change the image size to 5000 x 5000 then go to filter > distort > polar coordinates. That is how you make a spherical panorama.

Final Photomontages

These are my final photomontages, inspired by David Hockney. To start making a photomontage you take 10-15 pictures of one simple object from all different angles. After you upload the photos to your computer, you open all the pictures in adobe photoshop. You will arrange the pictures how they look like they make sense. When you have something that you like, add a white or black boarder to each picture and make the background the opposite color. And there you go! Your very own Joiner.
