FMP

I have come up with the idea of doing extreme sports photography as I’m very into that kind of thing. I will mainly base my photography around mountain biking with my friends doing self-portraits and photos of my friends who would be willing to be involved. I will use many different locations as it will easy to get to them as I have access to a car, these places will include chicksands in Bedfordshire, Woburn sands in Bedfordshire and other locations around Suffolk. I will look to borrow other lenses from college to make my photography much more interesting. I’m looking to make a decent sequence photo.

i have started researching moutain bike photography to give me extra ideas as i already do extreme sports photography. I am signed up to a website called 'pinkbike.com' this is where proffesional photographers can upload their work and people can view it for free. this is a great site for research as there is endless tutorials on how to shoot better.

here is an example of what i want to accomplise

Stop otion music video

Peter Gabriel-Sledgehammer

`Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer' music video was very popular at the time it was created in 1986 as no-one had done anything like this. The music video was directed by Stephen Johnson his work on Sledgehammer won 9 awards, including Video of the Year and Best Direction in a Video. The video starts off with medical photos of cells and blood flowing through veins which gets the audience wondering what is going to happen then it moves onto close-up shots of Peter Gabriel's facial features. The video moves onto Peter Gabriel laying down with many different objects moving around in a very random way. I like this video as it is very absract and unique it also doesnt take itself to seriously.

OK Go-End Love

The next video i looked at was OK Go-End Love and this music video features stop motion animation. The video for "End Love" was directed by Jeff Lieberman and Eric Gunther, and was filmed at Echo Park, around Echo Park Lake, in Los Angeles. The video shows the four members of OK Go, each dressed in solid neon-tracksuit of different colors, performing moves to the song. The band performed these moves using time lapse photography to create certain special effects, such as the band members appearing to move without walking, to move between two different points rapidly, or to play on the colors of their tracksuits in combination with these effects. I liked this music video because it was made in a fun way and in nice location at Echo Park, they included lots of people and the video goes really with the music.
