Linear Sequence

A final linear sequence! Well, I say final, but there is still a bit of camera shake on some of the shots, particularly in the wind series. I also think the sound on this series could do with being reworked as there are some strange bird sounds in there. I’m very pleased with the aesthetic, and it looks great when shown full screen on my 21″ iMac. ALthough I don’t think this is going to be my final exhibit, I do think I’ll will presenting on the iMac at the final show, instead of an LCD screen. Having spent the time making the footage HD, I think it deserves being shown on an HD ready device. The iMac is minimal and the screen quality is very good. I think the next thing I have to do is go ahead with a split screen technique and wait for it to render! I think there are a couple of transitions between shots that could be a bit smoother, so I’ll be going back to fix those. Seeing all the work together is inspiring; I’ve come along way to get this far but I wouldn’t feel comfortable showing all three modules together in the show, unless the camera shake was fixed. I’ve experimented and played the factory series on a projector and I feel that if presented in the right way, this series is strong enough to stand alone on show. I think as a whole, that it is a good, productive body of work from an intense travel experience. What I would like to do in the future is experiment with dollies and physically move the camera through the shot and add another dimension to the work. The zooms and pans in After Effects have been the biggest breakthrough but as an artist I will be pushing this element of my work after the course.
