Vector Portrait

Pre-Production

I started by selecting a picture to use for my portrait. I selected a close up of my face because it was the only viable photo I had of myself. I choses to do the low poly portrait because I really liked how it looked.I then made two art boards, one for reference, and one to to make my vector portrait on. I also turned the grid on and made sure the pen strokes snapped to it so I could start to make the triangles.


Production

Making the triangles wasn't hard at all it was just very time consuming and tedious. Same with filling them it just took time. I learned that you need to have all of your layers organized or it quickly becomes a mess. I chose a greenish blue color for my background because it went good with the colors used in my portrait.

Post-Production 
 
Overall I was really pleased with the outcome of my vector portrait. I do wish I could find a way to make my eyes look more natural though. If I ever do this project again in the future I would definitely chose a better quatlity photo.

2020 Film Reel

My film reel is meant to portray teen life, adventure, and a little bit of conflict. I feel that this reel mainly showcases cinematography, and editing, and lighting. I used beat sink on some of the shots but not all so it didn't become predictable and boring. I also had some actions happen to the beat of the song. When ending my film reel I chose a really bright outside shot full of warm colors, I chose to do so because it ends the reel on a positive note. I also only choose shots that were really cinematic to include in my film reel. Thats probably why my reel was shorter than a minute, but I plan to add a lot more work after the completion of my music video. I used three works in this film reel: Perfect Putty,  Levis Commercial, and Wimp. For the most part transitions between these pieces worked pretty well, but there are a few jarring cuts because of drastic lighting changes. One thing I would like to change next time I update my reel is the music, its spliced together in som...

Film Reel Blog

 For my film reel I tried to portray a teen lifestyle. It shows several teenagers in moments when they are thriving and when they are at a low. I really like this because it makes the reel more relatable to my fellow classmates. I also wanted it to really flow naturally to make it easy to watch so I didn't have any headers for my film clips and just let the shots speak for themselves. I also tried to edit my shots in a way that the movement flowed through each to make it feel even more smooth and collected.   I also tried to really showcase cinematography and good lighting in this reel. I used some of my best colored and lit shots from lowlight and daylight to show the variety I am capable of. I chose my most cinematically composed shots that show purposeful spacing and positioning of the subjects. I had my friend Cade Wait compose my music so it would fit perfectly with my reel and add some extra suspense. I was very picky with the shots I used so unfortunately my reel was a ...
