Stop & Stare - Art Direction & Stop Frame Animation Project

In this project we had to create a one minute animation using photography (720 photographs = 1 min). We had to work in certain themes. My theme was around the stereotype of how Muslims are perceived as stupid. I've also worked with the issue of how Muslim women are always perceived as oppressed and forced to wear hijab (head scarf) and that it's stopping them from building a future etc.

Song: Sami Yusuf - Free

Hope you enjoy the animation :)

10% Miniland Project

This is our community project of the year, where the whole college gives back to the community. The Miniland 10% project was aimed to help revamp the SANTARAMA Miniland. We were the biggest group and so we were seperated into different groups. One group was working on buliding a new building which was soccer city. 5 groups were working on revamping and rebulding existing models. 2 groups were for graphics and information.

I was in the graphics group and I had to create a new map for the miniland

This is what it looked like before

And here's my final map
our aim was to make it more eye-catching and child friendly

X-Ray tutorial - we had to scan in flat objects and transform them into X-RAYS

Food tutorial - We had to cut fruits into thin slices and put them on a lightbox so that all the little details show then thak photographs of it.

Water tutorial - We had to take shots of water drops. You need lots of patience for this.

Polarization tutorial - This efferct is done by putting plastic infront of a computer screen and 3D glasses infront of the camera lense and you get this cool effect.

Rule of 3rds tutorial - We had to take photographs from different and interesting perspective.

Elements tutorial - Everyone chose different subjects to photograph for this tutorial and I chose to do flower photography but doing it differently by keeping the flower in coloured water, the flower then seeps up the colour and it's changes and become like the colour of the water.

Torch tutorial - We had to take photographs of light. To get this effect you need a slow shutter speed and a dark room and a torch.
