I completed my first black and white to color transformation and it actually went better than I was expecting. I started with a photo Beau took of me on my 21st birthday. I then made the photo black and white. I then used three color pallets from color.adobe.com and colorized the photo. I was going for more realistic colors. I should have been more experimental and gone crazy with them.
I attempted to start this assignment a few times. I was not sure what I wanted to use for the reference video to work from. I had a few clips before of my juggling which I tried using, but it did not look so good. I thought to myself, how about I wait until I make it home and then I can film a high quality video of myself juggling in my studio. Since I have a white backdrop and soft and even lighting, I knew it would work well. I took a few takes to get it how I wanted. Once in Photoshop, I applied the stamp filter to each of the 160 frames. This made it black and white and higher contrast. I then when in and changed the color of the juggling balls. I had fun with this step. I was quite a bit of work, but it is how I had imagined it.
I completed my calligram project. I started with a still from a test video I took over quarantine. I created a soft box grid to direct the light. The shadows looked really cool and I thought it would translate well to this project. I used text from the letter I wrote last week. I pulled out a few words to make larger. I'm really happy with how it turned out ;)
