Olly Moss



Olly Moss has created some stunning re-makes of famous film posters. I generally like the simplicity of the design. If you are familiar with each film you can see how the poster depicts the film in the one image. Thanks to the art direction project we did earlier this year I have been able to apply my knowledge from that to dissect and analyse each poster.

3D Glasses On


This is a really cool video, quite similar to what I want to do, I can see how they've created it using knowledge form the "Backwards Brief."

Nice Blog

I'm not sure how to follow this blog, there seems to be no button, it looks really interesting and I think I would learn a lot form it, so here is a link to remind myself how to find it..

Vampire Weekend




As a fan I enjoyed this video, but one thing that I noticed that i really like is the transition used from 1:48 - 2:03

It is a use of match-on-action, something that I have been thinking about with my project. If im to create these
stereoscopic images, I want two objects that are a similar in shape and size to transition, the transition will be
hard to notice, but when it is noticed will be much appreciated.

Love&Caring

I have created an unofficial music video for the artist Crystal Castle’s and their video Love & Caring. The reason I did this was because the song is about the binary oppositions between love and hate. I wanted to show the opposition in a video, it was also appealing to me because of my idea of lenticualr imagery and wanting to portray two juxtaposed messages in one medium. This is how I came up with the idea of good vs evil. My video was to blend two situations, one good, one evil and see how the viewers emotion of them was confused. I used very old footage from the 1930’s from a website that allows you to use them with full copyright licensing. This allowed me to learn about copyright laws.

Finally I am completely happy with my project, Ive created the cameras from the cardboard nets and next stage is to test and see if they are going to be easy to take my photographs, if they are too hard, which my tutor suggested then not to worry at least I tried. If that is the case then I shall be using standard digital SLR's. I've been thinking about mounting two video camera's and seeing if they work as well. This will be something that I shall be testing over the Christmas holidays. I shall create a few simple experiments to see which is the best option. I've also done some research into how to view my piece, Ive found a very interesting website that shows how to create an eco-friendly stereoscopic viewer. This viewer will allow the audience to see the images on a screen, which I think would be interesting as an installation. It's a beginning idea, so Im not sure if that will be the final outcome of the project, research time!
