Pinhole camera effect




Recently I scanned some old slides into my computer. I don't have a slide-capable scanner so I just scanned them with the scanner cover open. This created a very sweet effect that looks almost like a pinhole camera photo. I didnt even bother playing around in Photoshop because I achieved the look I was after. Now, if I can just find the rest of my slides I could be busy for a while.

Mad Scientist

Here we go again, another crazy stop-motion animation fresh from my work-table. Damn, I'm having fun with this. I guess it's all warm-ups at this stage in the game. I think my movements are getting smoother and using several camera set-ups give it a more polished feel. (Maybe!) Still, it is all fun at the moment and that is the main thing. Right? Anyway, hope you enjoy.

More Stop-Motion (Stop me now!)

I'm still having fun with my stop-motion animation.This was actually my first movie, a silly movie featuring my crazy little toys. It is so easy to create simple animation with a digital camera and a little (er,a lot!) of time up your sleeve. I am planning another 'shoot' tomorrow so I should be posting it soon. One of the best sites for infomation on stop-motion animation has to be http://www.stopmotionworks.com/index.html.

Communicator


Another Steampunk piece. A personal communicator. Made from recycled hardware parts. Starting to get a nice little collection of these.
