A few weeks ago, a friend used an iphone to take pictures of these very colorful clouds as we drove to a concert at Red Rocks. For my project, I would like to use film footage of clouds similar to the clouds in the pictures. I plan on taking the same drive again at the same time of day to record the clouds with my digital camera. I am hoping the video will be as colorful as the original pictures. I think the more colorful the film, the more impressive my piece will be. I want the clouds I construct to be absorbing a lot of color from the film as well as casting shadows onto the backdrop that the film will be projected on. I think finding this balance will be the hardest part of my project.
you should start shooting soon -- have you seen the clouds lately at dusk? lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteonce you have your imagery - find whatever materials you have laying around you -- pillow stuffing, white fabric, paper you can sculpt into form - test them out & see how it looks. i like the idea of creating a cloud-like shape but suspect the material itself will be key to allowing the image to take hold.
also - start imagining how you might hang this cloud in order to project onto -- how heavy will it be?
have you seen these at the denver airport?
