Photo shop technique (noise)



In this assignment I used the noise filter to create the effect that it was snowing when it really wasn't. This is a fairly easy technique using  the noise filter and a couple of blur tools.

Animation

Kinora

For my assignment i chose the kinora. The kinora is able to project moving pictures without needing more than 2 people. A wheel holds around 25 separate photos that when they are played in the right order makes it look like a video/movie are being played. I chose this machine because it seemed the most complex and that was the best at showing a sequence in the easiest way.

My company specializes in creating the effects and animated sections in commercials and advertisements. Falcon Productions will do what is needed to make the client happy. So this means our company will do any type of commercial.

I chose the peregrine falcon for the logo because the falcon represents focus, power and freedom. I believe that this is the type of company all companies should be represent.
The logo it self has very straight line because I believe this means focus. The line is just going from A to B, without curving around and taking longer to complete. This means that our company will give you the design you want in the time you want it completed. The Text is more curvy because I also wanted to show people that our company doesnt only do serious commercials, but all advertising in all companies whether it be made for kids, teens of adults

Today I am going to critique a piece of art called "The Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh. To a person who likes imitationalism, this wouldn't be a very pleasing piece. You can tell what everything is, but it's not very detailed. It is also done oil paint which makes the reflection of the stars look very unrealistic. The hills and houses are also not very detailed. Some of the houses even look to be a bit distorted. The stars are also not proportioned.They are way too large compared to the village.



Emotion


To me, this piece of art looks a bit mysterious. It kind of makes me wonder what is going on in the village, and even if he chose a certain date to paint it. I believe that this piece would not be very successful to the eyes of an emotionalist because even though it shows some emotion it still doesnt show alot.
Formalism
I believe that this is a very successfull peice because of it's formalism. The picture is balanced well with the plant on one side and the large star on the other. It also has alot of movent because the sky is painted with swirls thats bring your eyes to different areas of the piece. Also, the color of the reflection off the mountains and village was painted very well and really makes them stand out.

This image has a much lighter feeling. none of the lines are touching or jagged. To me, its looks like the lines seem to be floating up showing hope. For this image, I copy/pasted a squiggly line over and over and oer to create a rhythmic pattern

This image consists of several lines crossing each other forming triangles that point up and down. I showed rhythm by evenly spacing the triangles from each other going horizontally. I originally had them in diamond shape but then seperated them and changed the brush type to make it look thicker and more jagged.
