year 2 monday 9am

06/02/2010

ola.jpg 518DlsCDf8L._SL500_AA280_.jpg images.jpeg images-1.jpeg

all year 2 – on monday at 9am please bring with you a small digital camera – small compacts and even phone cams providing they are minimum 640 x 480 resolution are just fine

make sure they are charged and you have the cables / readers with you to transfer to the macs – don’t expect to use bluetooth – too slow

if you have digital slrs then great but these are not suitable for what we will be doing to start with – compacts or phones only please

can you also get hold of a craft knife with new blades and a tube of super glue and a CD (used or otherwise) in a plastic box

it will be fun

cheers

25 examples of awesome vr photography and I was looking at the examples and agreeing that they were indeed awesome

OMG

16/12/2009

..how good was that exhibition!

The V & A curated a superb group of digital work. We must try to create/ make more installation ideas at college.

+ the looping short video clip wall for the degree show would be an excellent idea even if its not interactive!

Post your photo and video blog links from Decode in the comments.

a great spot from caroline that perhaps deserves it’s own post

captain 3d is the reason you are using cinema 4d (he’s the friend of a friend through whom the recommendation initially came)

he made the awesome pumpaction and we have also just been looking at his early stereoscopic stuff and tutorials on his site
