"Defying Gravity"
Artist Statement
I chose this photo as my best because I thought of them all, it wasn't just me focusing on the technical elements of the assignment, but the creative and design elements as well. I wanted this photo to have a vibe that would come from it's atmosphere, a vibe of music and it's effect on people. Since the layout of the room had a bright red door and drums most easily visible, I thought it had an effect of a cool rock band kinda thing, so from there to put stop motion to the test, we could have the subject doing a hair flip and just generally letting go, as one would do when listening to music.
The design elements loosely followed rule-of-thirds and balance. Rule-of-thirds was used by placing the subject slightly off-center, with the other two lesser subjects, the door the the drums, also along the left line and the bottom line. As for balance, the door and drums are used to counteract the figurative "weight" of the subject.
