Stop motion video!

In my photo 3,4 class we got into a groups and our assignment was to make a stop motion video as a group. The story we decided to do was about a girl who loved to draw and everything she touched turned into a sketch in her book. Then she became sad due to the problem she had with her hands, Soon she found a boy who had the same problem and they both ran off together holding hands. Everyone in the group had a job position , My job was to play the girl in the story, I had a pretty fun experience playing that character although i felt that could've of done more than to just play a character in the story such as to help out in other things that my needed help in. I felt that i could've done better playing that role and i felt that we also could've done better as group working on this assignment.

Rain of Gold



The book tells the story about two families initially caught up in the mexican revolution, Lupe Gomez a six year old girl at the beginning of the story grows up in a village called Lluvia de oro or Rain of Gold. It was a quiet village until a strand of gold was found and within twenty years the village changed drastically. Due to the americans taking over the gold and the mexican revolution Lupe and her family made their way to america where they faced some desperate hard times for a job. The girl in this pic is seen as lupe holding gold in her hands, The reason of the this picture is to see the discovery of the gold but the expression of a sad face due to them having to move away from their village because of the gold. The lighting in this picture is only hitting half of the girls face and at the same time making the gold eye catching.
this picture was shot inside and with a regular lamp, how i made this happen is i shot the photo half blocking the direction of the light. I think book cover was successful because it really captures the viewers attention and gives them a clue a what the book is going to be about.

This picture i decided to show for my final too because i thought it was the nicest picture i had taken. I also chose it because i like how the sun reflects on the water and the palm trees show a silhouette in the top right corner.
This picture is called sleeping beauty because i feel that it fits the scene in this picture. For my final i wanted to do something old fashion that included children. The chair in the picture gave me the old fashion idea , i chose the chair because i liked the condition it was in and it fit what i was trying to say in the picture. I chose this costume because i wanted her to look like a secret garden dress, princess kinda thing that fell asleep in a chair. I think i succeeded in how i wanted my picture to come out and i hope my viewers like as well.

I love to take pictures of old stuff such as churches like in this picture. Another thing is that i like to take pictures in different colors such as sepia or black and white, i feel that it makes the picture a lot nicer. One thing i like in this picture the most is the sky, i just love how it looks in this color, it almost seems like its moving to me if i stare at it for a while.

This picture happens to be one of my favorites because i like how its in black and white as well as the position she's in along with her expression. I chose this picture for the art show because i thought it was one of my best pictures i had done so far in the year. Another thing i liked was how the picture fits well with the quote says.

Beginning this project was pretty easy because you just needed a self portrait of someone and just fix it up on photoshop, I chose this portrait because i liked how her arms are in position and how her hair is fixed back. After using photoshop on this portrait you can see a big difference in her facial structure. Another reason why i liked this project is because i get to use photoshop and that helps learn how to use it more.
