One thing that is very interesting is the fact that she says she likes to work with light, natural light in fact, because it is so unstabble, she can't predict it, even by making models and experimentating, you can't predict it. 
Also she does not limit her work in the environment, it blends in, you don't know where it starts and where it ends, and by doing that, you recieve similar feedback from someone who doesn't know art, and someone who knows art and her work. 

Lucia is a brazilian artist, and works with interventions on public spaces using light, and how it affects our perception.

In the video linked below he says "...why not make it move...", he is talking about the title of the movies, which were almost ignored and basically extra time for everyone to sit down and grab popcorn. 
According to him, the involvement with the film should start from the first frame. So the title is perfect for that, if done right, you can make a sequence that creates a rhythm for the film]]> 2018-03-10 15:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/240463278 Source: Oficina Tipográfica gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/241154995 2018-03-12 23:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/241154995 Source: Type Tumblr gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/241155209 Animated typo]]> 2018-03-12 23:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/241155209 Vinicius Araújo gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/241155615 Example: N for Nintendo 64]]> 2018-03-12 23:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/241155615 Light up whichever TVs form the letter gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/241155843 2018-03-12 23:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/241155843 The Happy Film gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/241156036 Leopoldo showed us this last year, now that i know of Saul Bass it reminds me of his Title sequences. ]]> 2018-03-12 23:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/241156036 Noma Bar gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/247514182 His work really peaked my interest, he has many illustrations with sillhouettes and i like this kind of approach, as i did a few works in Pre-Foundation using sillhouettes only. What really got me interested was his use of negative space, and colors, for example in the linked image below, you have a wolf head in the negative of his back. I also feel some sort of movement, like a loop. The details that form the head are essential, even thought they are details, it's like two images but one is done only with fur details. 
 I would like to experiment this sort of detail in sillhouettes.]]> 2018-03-30 16:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/247514182 Jason Munn gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/247514965 Displacement/distortion effect]]> 2018-03-30 16:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/247514965 The Art of Deception gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/247515426 "Light and shadow, reflection, colour and motion - these are the primary elements of visual art."

This project was the most relatable to me yet, because i'm interested in visual effects, and so an image is the smallest part of a video, a frame. With that in mind i started researching types of effects on photographs that did not use digital  modifications. 

I stumbled on high speed photography for example, used in physics shots, the slow motion ones, for example. 
Or diorama, which makes a real world image look like a miniature by focusing on particular spots on the image so it looks like they are actually small.
 Unfortunately i dod not read about it before taking the 60 photos. ]]> 2018-03-30 16:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/247515426 Photo Fakery: A History of Deception and Manipulation by Dino A. Brugion gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/247517447 I enjoyed reading about photo manipulation before the digital era. I already know how it's done and how to do in photoshop, so it is interesting to see how it was done before. 
Deceiving our eyes is easy, learning about the details and trails manipulation may leave behind helps you understand the world better, in my opinion.

Definately one of my favorites references so far. ]]> 2018-04-09 21:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/250052684 Alan Becker gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/250054343 I think the way to describe this is very unique, and it pleases me, it's one of those videos that you think whe you're bored and start to play with things in your head, the way he did it is very simple, the animation does not have any kind of amazing effects or anything, but still it had very high quality and serves the purpose perfectly.]]> 2018-04-09 21:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/250054343 Made on Earth gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/250055241 Also from Enrique Pacheco, this is even more fantasy-like than the other ones, beause it's a compilation. The night sky and starts on time lapse are amazing and i want to try it in some work, you can really see Earth's rotation with it, and the music is also incredible, adds up to this "unreal" world style.

In this case, it's not really visual effects, it's more about creating or drawing the individual frames so the effects are created along with the animation itself.

Everytime when i edit a video i like fast cuts personally, so i always try to include that.

There is also a message in all of them, something to reflect upon, like life meaning, this sort of thing.]]> 2018-04-15 00:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/251833623 gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/251920584 Sound references for the video's audio]]> 2018-04-15 18:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/251920584 gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/252190454 2018-04-16 15:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/252190454 References (For the poster) gabriel_lyra https://padlet.com/gabriel_lyra/md0us2xhm9bg/wish/252745735 This is a list of everything that i've watched (missing a few ones that i don't remember) that relate to the project and i've either used in the project or helped influence me.

I enjoyed it a lot more, because it was related to my collection, and specially a dark room with several mirror-related works. I took pictures to add to my collection because it had light.

But that creates a new type of visual language.
That also comes across of another interest, i've played games all my life, so mixing both would be pretty cool.
