The Readings

Reactions to the readings:

*A combination of the image examples of atmospheric perspective (misty, dramatic background) and the location perspective (layers for depth) remind me of Kelley's nature project.

*The David Hockney photograph of Henry Moore -- I can't stop looking at it. Even though it's chopped up, the color similarities and thoughtful alignment make it work as a whole image, or as a film seen in a single frame.

*The section that detailed the Mulan frame-shots is particularly interesting because it highlights the artistry that goes into "kid's" animated films. There's a piece by Brendan Dawes where software samples every second of a film and create a single wall panel of all of the tiny frames, one minute for each row of samples. The color modulation gives a sense of the edits and palette of the film.
