Prompt 22

Describe 4 possible projects (that interest you) that integrate color photography and other media. I have always really liked stop motion videos, I think they are very creative and add something different to an otherwise normal video. I remember seeing one where someone had taken pictures in a classroom and he had different people come in and sit in the seats, and at certain points had them hold up colored paper to make different patterns and shapes. I thought it was really interesting and was always curious to try stop motion.  I have taken a few 3d art classes and think that using photography with a lot of things is very interesting. For one project about cloning, I incorporated a photograph of a model and used photoshop to give it a sheep's head and have Hitler in the background, trying to comment on how "Hollywood" wants everyone to be the same, everyone to be a certain way that's "right" in their eyes. I think that drawing, writing, and painting on images is interesting.  It makes me wonder why the artist included whatever it is they included on the photograph. Sometimes photographs can stand on their own, but other times, it helps to add something to it to express a feeling, or make a stronger statement, etc. I think that advertising is a great use of photography, whether it be in a magazine, on a billboard, etc. I definitely think that it is one of the most successful fields that incorporates creativity, photography, and editing of that photography.
