3D Final

This is a series of GIFs I did for my 3D final.

I had originally created a video about 4 minutes in length but soon realized that I was more interested in the some of the beautiful moments in the video that only lasted 2-3 seconds. Also, because there wasn't really a beginning or an end, I found it difficult editing the scenes in a chronological order. I ended up making a series of GIFs, which are like 3 second videos that loop continuously. The way I saw them being displayed would be in a dark gallery, no lights, projected onto hanging pieces of white sheer sheets (about 5 ft by 3 ft) placed randomly in the space so that the viewer could walk through them and see them in whichever order they wanted. I sewed the dress, shot the video on my friend Carlos Enciso's digital camera, and edited it in iMovie (lame, I know) and Photoshop.

If they seem a little glitchy, just give them a second to load and they should run smoothly. Hope you enjoy!

Hibiscus Promiscuous

Hibiscus Promiscuous is a band based out of Tallahassee, Florida, and it's made up of 2 of the most talented guys I've ever met. Maureik plays percussion and Matt plays guitar and sings, and their music is absolutely beautiful. I've known Maureik since we were in 6th grade band together so when he asked me to do some promotional photos of him and Matt I was more than thrilled. 

Have a listen to their music here:

And contact them/see where they're performing next on Facebook here:

Once you hear their music you'll understand why I wanted such a calm and relaxed landscape for their shoot. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the photos!

The first set were all shot with a Minolta on 35 mm film, the following were shot on a Polaroid.

Instax Fuji camera

Instant film is better than sliced bread. And I like sandwiches. I bought Fuji's newest instant film camera as a summer gift to myself (this baby is expensive, and she has expensive taste--about $30 for 20 images) and it is my most prized possession at the moment. Her name is Trixie.

Liam took this photo of me and I am so incredibly proud of him. I can not take any credit for this image except as being the 'model'.
