MA
The Backstory
Tuesday the 4th of October was a really exciting day for me because it was the first day of my MA studying Fine Art Digital. I met a number of fellow students online and we had some interesting conversations. Part of the course requires us to keep a blog – a journal of our creative journeys. I’ve had experience of creating blogs in WordPress and I’ve even run a basic WordPress workshop. However I am by no means an expert, so for this reason I was quite torn about my approach to this.
Mesmerising
In my last post I talked about how mesmerising oil bubbles on water can be as they glide around. I decided to explore this theme further. This time I lit the bubbles from a slightly different angle. You can see from this new video how the bubbles are no longer flat but appear domed in shape. It took approximately 4 hours to perfect this video and then around 2 hours editing it in Adobe Premiere Pro. This is my editor of choice for this type of work as it is quick and easy to use.
Hypnotic Oil Bubbles on Water
Oil on water bubbles are very hypnotic when they move slowly in water. I wanted to capture this motion so that you can see how mesmerising it is. Technically these bubbles are very hard to capture. It is a fine line between lighting, focus and depth of field. The video below took around 2 hours to light. Macro photography is also a technically tricky discipline so making this video was quite challenging. However I think that the results are worth it.
Facebook Poll Results
When planning an exhibition or new product range, it’s a good idea to ask people what they want to see. So last week we did just that.
Working on a New Slider
Our existing slider shows the ingredients used to make the bubble images. However, the bubbles when moving are also very beautiful. For this reason we thought it would be nice to show this too. The video shows how hypnotic the bubbles can be. This video is the first in a number of planned experiments. I will post more examples as they are produced.
Rainbow Colours for the NHS
A number of people have commented that one of my images uses very rainbow themed colours. A friend of mine suggested that I should offer it for sale and donate the profits to the NHS fund. I thought that this was a great idea!!
Benefits of Lockdown
Covid 19 – the SARS Cov 2 virus (official name) has made a massive global impact. It still remains to be seen whether life will ever be the same? Lockdown has brought many challenges but it has also brought many opportunities. One of those major opportunites especially for those not working is having more time. Time to reflect and time to create and time to consider the future. Since its inception a few years ago, Only Here has been online showcasing numerous talented artists. it now promotes the work by artist Karyn Easton. To date there has never been the opportunity to keep a blog.
