For my transformative video, I wanted to capture a scene where the world is in chaos and there is smoke coming from afar while I try and escape. 

Kelli Crockett Transformative Video Portrait

 

For my Transformative Video Portrait project, I chose to do a portrait of my friend, Jane. She is an artist and always has her head in the clouds imagining what beautiful thing she wants to create next. In order to illustrate this, I had her pose in front of a blue screen with balloons. I edited in a warm pink cloud background, scattered snow, a lens flare, and some camera sway into this footage to give the illusion that she is flying through the sky in amazement.

For my project, I wanted to show myself playing the piano on the beach. To me, the two most relaxing things are playing the piano and laying on the beach so I wanted to put this in a scenario together. I also wanted to provide an effect of the sun passing through the image, which is what I did with an effect in After Effects.

For my portrait, I wanted to create something with an Synthwave / Outrun aesthetic. This aesthetic is experienced mostly through music, but also can be viewed through other forms of media such as art, movies, and video games. It explores many themes and common motifs. Outrun generally employs 1980s themed retrofuturism, and visual themes are generally played out at night time over neon drenched cars, technology, and violence. It shares some concepts with Noir, but instead of the American '40s, the setting is generally the 1980s or an '80s inspired future.
I wanted to transform a simple subject into an Outrun inspired character. The subject is transformed into an illegal night-time street racer, posing with his trusty vehicle. His wardrobe is highlighted with neon motifs, and a robotic eye shines behind the lens of his glasses.

Portrait Retouch ( Before and After) - Danny Lizano

My concept is a narrative scene which depicts a couples dramatic journey. The style reflects the exaggeration of a soap opera and presented in a movie poster setup. The retouching approach I took for this project was more of hiding the "behind the scenes" that goes on in such an elaborate photo shoot. I tried to create a dynamic composition, and create an intense moment with the absent of color and high contrast with the textured background.

Project 3- Retouch

For my retouching project I decided to do an image of what I look like when I wake up vs. what I think I look like when I wake up. 

Portrait Retouch

For this project I want to retouch my own portrait. I took this photo outside to get a natural light and then began to retouch. I also want to see if I could change my hair color in a natural looking way.

For this project I decided to retouch myself, I took the photo in my bedroom, where I normally do my makeup in the morning.  The retouching of this image is bringing light to all of the work they do after the makeup when doing a magazine photoshoot.

I really wanted to focus on the differences and similarities between photoshop and plastic surgery in this assignment. I see degrees of retouching as mimicking certain plastic surgery techniques. So I researched common plastic surgery procedures and determined how I could mimic results in photoshop. So before I shoot, I drew lines on my model's face that would dictate the areas that I would enlarge, push, pull etc. I also researched and applied commercial techniques such as airbrushing and selective dodge/burn.
