The Pixilation Process - Photo shooting reflection.


Today I did my photo shoot for my pixilation using my friend as my prey for the food. I had time constraints with this because my model could only stay stationary for s certain amount of time, I didn't want to inflict any hardships onto him, yet it all had to be done in one shoot because of how the food is organised on him and how it can't move. It would be hard to take a break and continue the shot organised the exact same, and I wanted a sense of continuity. So I had to work efficiently, following my storyboard was a key component for this efficiency.

However this time constraint affected the amount of time and effort I could put into making the movements 100%, but I wanted a flickery, imperfect feel anyway, it stimulated the comedic value within it.

I also encountered a few problems, live mode made my camera battery go flat, which meant I had to rent one, this consumed a lot of time up where I could of been continuing, which pushed the process back a lot. I also had to retake a lot of movements, being a perfectionist I wanted to be happy with them, yet also was conscious of time constraints.

Overall, I am happy with how the day has gone but it has been very gruelling and a hard 6 hours work with no break, it has been stressful. But I am happy with my shots, I am crossing my fingers they will look okay when rendered. I think the final shots when he is absorbed in food looks effective, because of the variety of food types and the bold colours, making for an aesthetic shot. If I had more time, I would of spent more effort making him COMPLETELY COVERED and making fluid movements, but for obvious time constraints that wasn't possible, but I was happy with what I managed to achieve.
