Last Weeks Lesson

In last weeks lesson we used the Cannon 5D to make a sequence of pictures using action figures
and hero's.
We picked three locations and we created a story with the pictures.
After we had taken the pictures and gone back to class, we realised we had made a mistake.
During photography we had forgotten to keep shadows and body parts out of the shot, this ruined the effect of the pictures, this is something to remember next time.

In this weeks lesson we used a wooden mannequin for the purpose of animation.
In the lesson we used the canon 5D and green screen to animate the mannequin.
While taking the pictures we had to move the mannequin slightly, stabilising it after I'd touched it.

A green light was mounted around the camera which helped us achieve  the green screen effect, light was also cancelled out with  bowens gemini lighting  this ensured than when it came to animating the pictures the mannequin wouldn't be disappear because of exposure to the green light.


Green screen: We used the green light around the camera to shine 
light onto a grey surface although you couldn't see the green effect the 
camera picked it up and we got the green screen effect. This would allow you to

use any background.
