Chronophotography

Bring your camera to class on Tuesday. You need to be able to manipulate your shutter speed on your camera. If you do not have a camera, you should find a partner as soon as possible that is willing to share. You will need a partner to do this assignment.

The chronophotography assignment follows the projection drawings of your room. It will be due on Tuesday February 5. This should give you ample time to either check out one of the few cameras they have upstairs (the SLRs from Denny or the commercial grade digital cameras from Johnny) and or to develop your images if you decide to use a 35mm film camera. Remember if you develop your film get Matte prints not glossy! There are 200 of you, so be kind and return the cameras as soon as you are finished.

You should perform at least 15 events in your room for this assignment. It will take a couple of tries to get to know the technology. You will need to experiment with the effects of chronophotography. Do not rush this, we are giving you this time to have fun and create something beautiful. There are many ways to do this. But you are the creator. You can flash the room with a single on and off switch during the shot, use single light records (single LED lights on both hands are an example of this technique), or you could use draped lighting (white christmas lights are an example of the drape effect).

You will find more details in the assignment located in the left column of this blog.
