This is a pretty neat video the guy has a really clean look about his work and a really neat procedure. I wouldn't recommend watching the entire video a: no sound b: watch it till ya start getting bored and click like 5 minutes ahead and he's probably doing something completely different.

Just another weekend

Hey its Andrew. I woke up this morning and realized that I had yet to post anything here. I have never really blogged before so bear with me on this. Im going to attempt to cover some highlights of the past few days, post some pictures and links and maybe discuss some general philosophies about life.
Ok so for people who are not in ART225 here is a demo reel of some of the stuff i have created while at BCC.

Ok so now here is some of the stuff i have been working on since Friday. I was helping my friend Kevin with a photo shoot Friday night. He was shooting a self portrait so i helped with lights and some camera work. This picture was taken with my camera. Its Kevin operating BCC's medium format film camera, the one used for the shoot. Saturday i did some tests with one of my macro lenses. Here are a couple shots of the outdoor stuff.








Then I did some indoor test shots

with my light table. This photo is one of 50 using various bills. I found some really cool hidden writing on some of them.

So after the shoot I started working on a web banner. Its a gif file so unfortunately it wont play when i upload it. Oh well.

Now im working on a kinetic typography piece for motion graphics class. Ill post a video of it when im finished.


I thought i would end with some general phrase about life but thats just ridiculous. So instead here is a few links from which you can glean inspiration.

Everyone should know this one

(Just testing out the image upload here - but please go ahead and comment everyone!)

Just mailed my final to Village

Hopefully it works out.
Keepin' ma fingers crossed that it'll look as good on paper as it did on my screen.

Staples cost to reproduce

I stopped by Staples and they gave me a cost of $23.00 to reproduce a jpeg onto photo paper 18X20 (I know I mistakenly gave them the wrong size of our project), but this seemed to be quite high compared to, what I think I heard you say, Village printing...please advise.
