Animated Photo Series and Burger Box Animation!

alanbecker — Sat, 12 May 2012 06:31:16 +0000

I did this photo series in late 2011, in my Photography 2 class. I like photography, but I like animation more, so for one project I decided to make an animation with ten photos in ten different places. Click the photo, it’s an actual series of 10 photos.

ALSO… I made a delicious animation in MAYA!!

This was the final project in Computer Animation, the same class I made the bathhouse in.

I liked animating it, but my favorite part was adding the textures to the burger. The shiny grease on the patty, the glistening tomato seeds, the flowing curves of the lettuce.

In other news, my school had an end of the year show and it featured Animator vs. Animation III. It was my first time seeing a full crowd of people react to it. It was quite nice.

Stereophotography!

So after making a buttload of Lenticulations, I realized I could take the two frames on either end and put them side by side, to make stereographs!
You have to cross your eyes to see the 3D image. Click on the picture for more instructions, and several more pictures. It takes some people forever to match up the pictures. But I’ve done it so many times I can match them up instantly. No biggie.

The Oakland Camera Club also highlights stereographs and they have a lot of stunning examples.

My Spirited Away Pics look SO much better!

So my teacher Mark told me to fix up my Spirited Away images for the end of the year show. I thought they looked pretty good as they were, but there’s always stuff you can do to punch it up.

Edits:

added displacement map to the ground (much rougher)
made pine needles more “thick”
added actual leaf texture to bamboo leaves (previously just a color)
put daisy-like design on the gold cylinders under the sign
made shrub on left more of a bush
made sign lettering more grungy and dark
put an HDR image of clouds into the window reflections
lowered front of bridge railing to match up with the ground
added erosion to pink plaster walls to the lower left and right of the bridge
fixed lighting in night shot to bring middle wall forward
raised exposure in Photoshop and added a vignette
rendered them out at 4000 x 2250 instead of 1920 x 1080

and various others.

Well… New Layout

So I upgraded the website to a “Portfolium” theme and it’s quite very much nicer than my old format.

So I deleted everything and I’m slowly re-adding things back to the website as I see fit.

I wish I knew CSS, then I could figure out how to put google ads on the side.

Cuz I know how much everyone wants to see ads.

I’ve disabled comments because I don’t read them and they take up space. If you send a comment via Contact Me then I will read it.

Thank you!

WEBSITE WAS INFECTED!!!

If you’ve been here before you know that my website looked a lot more complete before. Well, it got infected and I’m trying to figure out how and why. Until then my stuff won’t be available to see. But you can view my artwork at
