Alphabet development

More development of my alphabet today. Managed to get the video camera recording after a bit of pestering the technicians at uni. I fed the picture of the letter into the TV via my mac, and then recorded it with the old camera, I played around with the focus and shutter a bit which gave me some cool glowy effects.

Looks quite nice when like above, but sometimes it was a bit too overpowering so I may just use it a little, if at all.

After filming the letter with the old VHS camera, I then set up a DV camera (too many cameras!) and fed the VHS camera into the TV via scart.

As I fimed it with the DV camera I used the tracking, pause, skip frame, rewind and forwarding to try and create some cool effects. It involved a lot of mashing of various buttons to work out what worked best. Skipping between pausing, rewinding and forwarding is particularly effective.

Here is a little bit of a film to show what kind of stuff I got, this is my favourite bit I captured.



Hopefully do some more letters tomorrow.
