Model Lighting Images



This should give you an idea of the different lighting conditions that you can achieve with daylight vs. artificial lighting. The first two images are of a model set out in afternoon sunlight and a small camera was placed inside for those photos. The last image is of a model with two tungsten stand lights in a studio setting. So I think the scene could be shot either way. I tend to think though that the more controlled and dramatic lighting of the last photo makes for a better image. I hope it helps to see the difference with an actual model.

The Fall, Birdy Origami, Her Morning Elegance

I'm sure that there scenes as bizarre, mad and beautiful as these in Sophie's mind. The question is, what is it? What does she dream about?



Well, we probably can't do anything like The Fall with our budget but we can do funky things with stop motion. Here's one made by a friend I met through Kongtact Square, Loby Lam from Holland.



Oh, here's an even crazier one:
