First Drawing of the Year
Outcry: Time Lapse Video #4
Here is the final video that I submitted for my ASC Regional Artist Project Grant. As you can see from my first video post I have come a long way. Clearly I am not a photographer… BUT I learned about better camera settings for time lapse photography. I learned a lot about using editing software to compose the videos and to edit the material. I learned that editing poorly shot material takes way more time than setting up correctly in the first place and never yields the results that a better shoot would have.
Throughout the project one of the biggest struggles I faced was learning how to deal with the changing lighting conditions over the course of a shoot. There were over 2400 stills for “Outcry” and they were among the most uncontrolled of any of the projects. I spent hours WEEKS making the corrections. I’m pretty pleased with the result though.
I had a great time on this project and I am thankful for the opportunity from ASC. Over the New Year I made some changes in my studio which I think will help a lot, because I fully intend to continue experimenting with video. I have another shoot in queue to begin work on, and I am hoping to branch into animation this year as well.
In the meanwhile, here is the latest-hope you enjoy! If you like it, please share!
New Drawing
Last Year, September, October, and November were probably my most productive months. I seem to be following that pattern again in 2014 and am finally starting to catch up on my goals. As of yesterday I have logged 459 hours in the studio, and 224 spent on marketing tasks. Here is my latest drawing, titled “Bitch, ” and measuring 48×60 inches.

Election Week Drawing # 8- Esse Quam Videri
The North Carolina state motto, “Esse Quam Videri,” is usually translated as “To be rather than to seem.” However the original source is actually translated as follows:”Fewer possess virtue, than those who wish us to believe that they possess it. ” #foodforthought #Election2014 #NorthCarolina
