Design.CreativeFan Walking Shadow | Jason Ratliff I have always loved to watch my shadow as it stretches along the sidewalk or the grass on a bright, sunny day. In this series entitled Walking Shadow, designer and illustrator Jason Ratliff shows us that even a long, dark shadow can be transformed into something more visually interesting, like these bright patterns of stimulating colors. Ratliff combines traditional, detailed illustrations with abstract, mosaic silhouettes. Ratliff says, “I create illustrations with a light dose of whimsy, a mixture of acrylic and ink, and a wide variety of surfaces.”
Video like a pro: how to make an awesome DIY camera slider The next time you watch a great film, look out for things beautifully falling in and out of focus as the camera moves past. This is done with a focus slider and these cost hundreds of pounds to buy. Today, I’m going to share with you my awesome focus slider which will cost you very little to make and will give your videos a really professional feel. The video below will show you a bit of the build process, but mainly the effect using the DIY focus slider. The camera can be mounted as shown or rotated though 90 degrees My slider consists of three main parts: a) A bracket to mount the camera on which is attached to b) Two sliding guide rails from a set of drawers which is mounted on c) a stand It works by smoothly sliding the camera with a set focus past a stationary object and the draw sliders do this wonderfully. Let’s look at each section separately: a) A bracket to mount the camera on I used an upside down U shaped bracket from my local iron monger which did require drilling, etc. c) The stand
Pearltrees: distribuye contenido en la red Pearltrees es una herramienta para la distribución de contenido en la red. Utilizando como fuente todo aquello que te ha llamado la atención, o sea tus favoritos y tu participación en redes sociales como twitter o facebook puedes crear contenido para distribuir a otros usuarios. Es el concepto denominado en inglés content curation, preservación o curación de contenidos. Ese termino, preservación o curación de contenidos (realmente la traducción sería preservación pero muchos usan el termino curación), es algo de lo que vais a oír hablar mucho dentro de muy poco. Creo que este concepto será también muy importante en el ámbito escolar donde los alumnos también tendrán que aprender a tratar y filtrar la información. Este es un ejemplo.

DIY PVC Table/Skater Dolly For Video Photography If you’ve been following some of the video tutorials we’ve had here at DIYP, you probably noticed the skateboard dolly that was featured here a few weeks back. Photographer and videographer Martin Taylor shows us how to build a much fancier dolly which is partially based on a skateboard. This dolly however, is smaller (will fit on table), has a head mount that can support an SLR and can be set to move in circles. It’s all Martin from here. A table dolly is a small, low profile camera support designed to be used on a table top and often used to add movement to product shots. Its axles are usually adjustable to allow it to travel in straight lines or curves and circles. There are lots of commercial table dollies available at all sorts of price points. Supplies 1 Rollerblade (go to the thrift store if you don’t have one lying around from the 90’s; they’ll have plenty to choose from for a few dollars.

Shiv Shakti ~ Bliss (Lyrics) 5 Different Setups To Nail A 2 Lights Product Shot There are a lot of things you can do with just 2 lights, actually, you can do some kicking products shots. Here are a few quick and easy product photography setups that you can add to your toolkit. (+ the occasional use of a DIY modifier) For the whole shoot I was using a Nikon D7000 and a 18-55 kit lens. The DIY LightBox Still one of the best things for a clean product shot is simlpy shooting it on a white background. Place both lights on the right and left of the lightbox and point them just a little bit towards the back. Setup Shot Gradient Effect When shooting transparent objects like perfume botttles, there is a neat trick you can apply. Start of by placing a light below the table pointing upwards at the background. To get some light on the cap and on the logo of the perfume, I placed another flash with a small softbox above the subject. Lastly, you can play around by gelling the background light.
