Triptych Digital Montage Animation

Artist Summary:

This animation was made to show off the stronger piece in one of the three montages submitted. Some of the animations made were: The man suspended off the "daggers for eyes", located in the center of the animation. This gives the impression that the woman has “looks that kill”. Along with him hanging there, her eye color changes to invoke passion, furry and intensity. Other animations in this image are the thumbprint on the hand (bottom left), which is the pale girl moving in an upward motion, giving the illusion of her kissing the nude lady posing in front (bottom right). The last two animations added to my work are the diamond eyes on the tattooed woman (entire right side of montage) and the umbrella girl with the enlarging bottom (right corner). This project was an interesting art piece. Animation in Photoshop was a rarely used feature by this artist; however, it showed new learning capabilities and brought this montage to life.

(4) (7) & (10) The images of people zoning out from television, showing how television wasn't created to educate or enlighten you, but created to sell things and ideas. One video calls TV the drug of the nation. (5) This video expresse...

Website Re-Purposing

Artist Summary: Re-purpose this site conveyed the fashion world’s self-image controversy of looking healthy and beautiful. Fashion magazines feature models that look unhealthy and skinny “selling” the subliminal message to either buy products or treatments to look as they do. All images chosen for this piece were for their appearance of unhealthiness, and not the beauty that is found in the real world today. The composition expressed reality and the false perception of beauty.

Crowdsourcing Projects

1.) Two pieces were contributed and can be viewed on: a) Man With the Movie Camera b) Man With the Movie Camera 2.) Actual piece can be viewed on: Million Master Piece Artist Summary: --> There are many creative possibilities of "crowdsourcing" online, however choosing two unique art projects from a multitude of sites, was a difficult task. Man with the Movie Camera was an engaging and interesting concept. The website, which contains every shot in Vertov’s 1929 film, allows the participants to interpret Vertov’s shot and upload their footage to the database. A scene of railroad tracks was the first picture chosen as part of the project. Two excellent sites, found on West Fourth Street in Reno, Nevada, were filmed and posted to the site. The One Million Master Piece also presented an intriguing and unique idea. It allowed you to creat...
