this is a "request a clip" granted.
and is also part of the growing "Vimoe Portraits" project:
vimeo.com/forums/topic:945

first let me say- sorry for my big fat head in the camera shot!

you can see the picture Lex sent me, and as i looked at the shot he sent me, i realized that it was a mirror image, or flipped {i think some webcams do that for some reason} - so i decided to draw it the other way...
That was the HARD part!

actually it was harder at the start, then i got used to it...
{there was a lot more ruler/measuring action at the start but i edited it out because it was too long!}

The music was a mutual choice, Daft Punk is one of my all time favourite acts, and they are one of Lex's faves too...
as far as song selection, they are in order:
1} Technologic
2} Around The World
3} Face To Face
4} Aerodynamic
the song's meanings are pretty obvious and i really liked the message they provide.

Tech Specs:
shot on a sony DV Cam, imported into iMovie on my mac, sped up, edited and then exported.
it was 1 hour and 15 minutes of footage.

Feel free to DOWNLOAD the original quicktime file- it is a much larger screen version!

all done while listening to radio station triple j's hottest 100 of 2006.

This video is a response to Lex Productions's request:
Want to do one of the portraits for the project using me as a subject?

    Wow, that is awesome. I like the close-ups and random spaztic stares from you throughout the project.

    You have a habit of destroying your drawings! :P
    First with fire, now with scissors...
    I liked the jigsaw a lot!

    Oh, and that guy in the poster, my brother. He hates that picture but my mom loves having it.

    Nice and creative! Why is your drawing a mirror image of the photograph?
  • djp 2 years ago
    explained above chromazone, as i was looking at the print off of the pic lex sent me i realized that it was a mirror image from the poster in the background- and i thought, ok here's a challenge.... i remember doing something similar many moons ago in an illustration class in high school as a drawing exercise... it actually got easier after a while, and then i didn't have to think about it.
  • Chromazone 2 years ago
    Yikes, was that explanation up when I posted? I must be losin' it! Fyi, did some blind contour in school and drawing with the opposite hand but never this exercise. I'll give it a try one day...thanks.
