3 shot story

Oops. Totally forgot to post this last week, sorry!

These were my Valentine day cupcakes. I used Duncan Hines Red Velvet cake mix; the red dye stained my fingers after I licked the bowl. Homemade cream cheese frosting. Red sprinkles and paper hearts to complete.

Short videos for Weds

Hopefully everyone has the readings for tomorrow. Also supply a short video if you can – 90 seconds – best to upload these to the Flickr group that Nancy set up and we can share them from there. We’ll talk about the differences between a narrative in still images and a short video, and discuss the way the medium does/does not affect how a narrative is told. And hopefully we’ll get time for a quick review of iMovie.

Meetings on Projects

I realized when I laid out the schedule for last Wed, and saw the project descriptions that had been posted, that we couldn’t get very far in discussing projects in class. Also, it would be useful to talk with you individually, since this class is a little, well, different, and so are the projects.

So I’d like to meet with each of you individually — for the people working together on projects, I’ll meet with you together.

Please sign up here.

Please cluster the meetings if possible — don’t leave holes in the schedule if you can avoid it.

If none of these times works for you, email me and we’ll work something out. I’m at an off-campus meeting all day Thurs and Fri.

Flickr Group Created

I’ve created a Flickr group called

i290 viz narrative

It’s a public group, meaning you don’t need an invitation to join.  Just search for the group and then join.  Then you have the option of posting images and short (<90 second) videos to the group.  We’ll use this for sharing images and short videos — easier than the course blog.
Feel free to post *anything* you’d like the rest of us to see.
FYI, videos can take a long time to upload, but are easy to view.

Playing with Whitebalance

While camping, I played with some of the white balance when taking pictures of the campfire. Made for some interesting photos of the fire.

Edit- While taking the photo of the fire, I manually set my camera’s white balance (it is one of the white balance options). The camera tries to reset the white balance in accordance to the scene, which caused the change in color of the flame.

Kimra’s Three-Photo Story

I unexpectedly found myself without a computer for much of the past week, so this is an iPhone special — the photos were taken with my phone and then uploaded to flickr. It was interesting trying to work with this camera in low light, but I gave it a shot …
