Here is the final documentation for a project that I really enjoyed and hope to continue doing – long exposure photography. The music used in the video is “Beautiful Relax” by DepasRec and all sound effects are sourced through CapCut. Hope you enjoy.

It’s (mostly) done! Above is my final “Miniature Skyspace” in all her glory. I was able to add a “shelf” to hide the color changing LED’s, put the wood pattern on the walls, and also added a frame around the front of the shadowbox (against the glass) to help conceal any backlight leaking through. Additionally,…

Final documentation for my project is in the form of the video I recorded and edited above. I also chose to name the project Subjected to Nature. Both the sculpture and I were subjected to nature in the process to making this piece, thankfully I didn’t get burned. Citation of music in the video: Pippi…

The video showing my project in its final form can be seen below. Executing this process required a balance between planning and working with what nature had to offer. The final site I chose was a harbor which allowed me to film facing west over water to incorporate the sunset. I planned the burn for…

After experimenting with lighting prototypes on fire, I began the process of building my final sculpture. This process began with building a spherical metal frame and connecting it to a thick wooden base. From here, the dynamic component of the sculpture could be constructed. This portion consisted of a metal rod with spikes of wood…

For my sanity, I told myself I would finish the piece itself by today and leave simply nice documentation for later. And I did! It definitely took a lot of work and is not what I initially envisioned, but it’s done. I honestly don’t love the look of it all attached to a skirt, but…

This week I finally got into the little theater and was really able to make my vision come to life. I decided I wanted to use the whole space since I had it and I had enough space so that the light from one work wouldn’t interfere with another. This was the first “work” I…

Hi! With all the fantastic feedback I got from the last critique, I felt like I had an obvious game plan set out in front of me. Finish the content, place it all in, and make some edits to existing scenes to improve readability and the like. The biggest note was to slow things down…

After a lot of back and forth I finally decided on the format for the presentation of my long exposure photos. I decided to stick with my idea for a slideshow with music, however I loved Professor Rosenstock’s idea to add background noises that portray the audio of the photo, so that’s exactly what I…

For the final presentation, I decided to go with natural light instead of LEDs, per the recommendations I got last class. Since the photos are of stained glass windows, having the photographs backlit by natural light felt fitting and true to the original idea. I printed the images at Staples, picked up poster paper and…

Iterating to the Final Design Like I mentioned last class, the design intent was to mimic a retro macintosh’s shape while trying to keep a minimal black/white aesthetic so I can use it on my desk. I initially mocked up the following CAD model and printed it out: However, some of the dimensions were slightly…

Since last update, I did not have much left to do. The first thing on the docket was to finish the slides. The light blue cellophane arrived, so I worked on adding those over the weekend. I also tried cleaning up the coloring a bit more, taking your guys’ advice in to account. I like…
