Evelyn’s Final Project

Here are the following steps in my design process:

  1. Ideation > I brainstormed five different ideas to explore before ultimately settling on a projection portrait. My plan: project light (as a pattern or color) onto myself in a dark room and take a long exposure portrait.
  2. Draft 1 > For draft one, I experimented projecting several different patterns and colors. This allowed me to flush out what had the best results. Another variable I experimented with was the placement of the camera and projector (did I want a colorful or dark background?). I used my iPhone to do my first rough drafts. Here are some first drafts:

3. Planning and Revisions > After viewing the results from draft 1, I decided that I wanted to project slow, strobing colorful lights and I wanted a dark background. Having a dark background proved to be my biggest challenge. Below is the diagram of the setup.

    4. Final Drafts > I followed the diagram and my goal of this final shoot was to nail down the correct camera settings. Here are some of the biggest tweaks I made on the manual setting: shutter speed 1″; F8.0; ISO 1600 in RAW format.

    5. Polish > out of the shoot, I selected some of the best to edit in order to enhance the colors and overall clarity of the images.

    Thank you for your time!

    4D 🔥🔥

    With this submission we see the manifestation of how music and “destructive” art AKA fire really speak to me and how much of a “burning passion” (haha Funny Joke) I have for art and music.

    4D Final

    For my Final I decided to make a self portrait interpretation out of plastic straws and to turn it into a stop motion animation then I took it outside and used the light from the sun to see the light go through the straws and I used Jenga Blocks as a outline for a picture frame.

    For my 4D Final, I chose to illustrate my own self-portrait. My self-portrait is rotating in all directions, combining the elements of animation and light projection. The projection can be seen in the dome, adding an additional immersive feel to my work.

    Here are the finishing products: The animation, along with the finishing product inside the dome.

    These next set of images are my documentation of trial and error, from the development process to my first attempt at projection.

    the process:

    I used stop animation, animation, lightform, and video! It took me a very long time but it was worth it in the end. I am happy with the way it turned out. I learned many new things and had fun trying out the lightform box.
