Feedback two

Out of the feedbacks another issue that came up in many of the reviews was contrast between the planets and the black sky/space. On many of the planets I feel that having to much contrast would be overpowering but I went through all of the files and changed the first two planets. in photoshop the images look brighter but once they were imported into flash the contrast was lost. I feel that the the first few planets do better at the new level than before.

feedback 1

Getting the written feedback from those who gave it was very helpful. Right now I was to reflect a little on the stop motion section because that was the one I received the more idea, critic and perspective. It was not until I saw it up on the projector and read your responses that a way to correct it came to me. Almost every part o this project is using photoshop 3d animation. To smoothen the motion between rotating the telescope in stop motion and zooming in. I decided to speed up the stop motion frames per second, remove the first section(helping with color shift and jerkiness) but also take the last image of the telescope rotating and apply a 3d layer. This 3d layer or plane allows me to create a similar motion to the telescope as I have already done to the planets. this also gave me a little room for a creative element. I mean the project is following a, I guess you can say straight forward approach to astronomy documentaries, which leaves creative outlets hard to apply. I dont know but thanks for the help it is stronger now.

“Children have a very hard time abandoning their egocentric view of the world. Society forces them, and keeps forcing daily every adult, to accept a universal view of the world that we can share and use. No wonder that we have separated the arts from the sciences: the arts are an obstacle to that process of coexistence.”

This statement is a strong element into the ideas and concepts that I am following. Posted by Hemant Shesh. Not only are his intentions to create art but to allow acceptance.

fact and aritistic creativety

As I push my project into new directions I am finding that even my “fictional facts” are pushing the boundaries of reality. So I decided to look to the area of Bridging art and science. One web site I would informational is by The American Orchid Society:

Even though this organization is based around a different area of science than my own interest, I found it interesting the ways they bridge creative information.
