FINAL VIDEO

This is the final stop motion video that i made to resemble the metaphor that an int variable is like a t-shirt.

THIS IS ME

MUSIC

I played around with music for hours but i could not get a good sound that fitted the type of imagery. Then i found a website online where you can download free music with no copyright on the audio file. 

I used the search engine and typed in the word i felt my film represented which was TRANSFORM and found only one song called witness the full transformation. The sound was edgy but easy to listen to very acoustic i thought which i liked a lot.

THE PROCESS-PROJECT3

THE PEOPLE

I am going to document the process in how i am creating the stop motion film to show my metaphor and the effort it toke to get all the people to wear the shirt. My idea was to get a lot of random people on the street to wear the same t-shirt and to do a pose wearing the t-shirt and take a photo. The weather was a bit of an issue as i could not take photos of people in the rain or on a windy day so i was limited in that aspect but i managed to get around 100 people to take a photo it toke about 2hours to get around 20 photos of people who would help me out. I found out that my talkative and persuasion skills grew over the past couple of days as i found it easier to approach people.

EDITING

I wanted to create a starting scene to the film where me and my friends showed that we were walking into the camera, but changing with every step. This was very difficult to edit because it was very jumpy.

These are a couple of experiments with photography, lighting and movement.

This was the alternative start

This was a practice with editing.

This was a shorten down 

version of the film

Development

This is the development of the design on the t shirt i thought that a splatter design would be very different and unusual. This is a picture of a paint splatter that i found on google images.

This is an image of my re-defined image of the paint splatter that i put through illustrater

This is the final design for the t-shirt using the paint splatter, with some except allowed i was able to use the word me being specific to my function of variables.

T SHIRT VIDEO

This is an AA Comerical that i thought had a similar representation to what my video will be about, but instead of having the t-shirt change all the time i will have the people change and also the environment around that person change at certain points of the stop motion.

PLANNING

Time plan

For the rest of this week i a going to keep developing my idea into a more formidable concept that matches the design brief, to do this i must:

1. Research my idea, learn more about my processing word

2. Work out the exact prices on making a branded t-shirt

3. Came up with more ideas in to exhibit my idea for example i might make a poster with my idea

Money plan

Well i am pretty poor at the moment and can not afford to get a designer t-shirt made that would cost over 20-40 dollars. I have heard that if i supply my own t-shirt and design i can get one made for around 20 dollars which is in my price range. 

EXAMPLE OF VARIABLE

This is just a simple example of what a variable is in processing and what a variable does to effect a code.

http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=22802

The example is using the int variable where int is placed at the front of a given value so when the loop is written in this code it uses the variable for a specific reason for example (int x1=0) is code foe giving the x1 which is a co-ordinate a value which is 0.
