The Glocal Project…?
The Glocal Project is a cool program that our class has been taking part in for the past two weeks. We learned all about taking photos with a webcam and re-arranging them with two softwares: MotionSequence and MultipleExposure. I took at least 50 photos while we were in the Computer Lab, working with Josh-from Arts Umbrella in Vancouver- and Francesca-a voulenteer from Germany.
My favorite image that I took with Sophie, using MotionSequence is of Sophie’s battery charger:
I like it because it looks really neat and I like the border size on it. The photo was taken at a great angle so it looks bigger than it actually is. I think that the borders are a little big, but they still look good.
Creating the image was quite easy. Sophie had the little webcam, I was in control of the computer. She put the camera at the right angle, and I chose a grid size and border size. I pressed teh ‘H’ button ont eh keyboard to hide the contol panel at the top of my screen, where the buttons were that I could change the grid and border size, and a lot of other things that helped to make an image visually applealing. I hit the space bar-to take the photo.
Thank you to Josh and Francesca for taking the time to teach us all about Arts Umbrella and The Glocal Project!
