On Sunday I made an animation using cheap $1 plastic table cloth, a
spray bottle with water, and my camera in the Permanent Collection of
the Sheldon Art Museum. Why did they let me do this!?!?! I was
spraying water on a glass window 6 feet from a Dorothea Lange photo.
Tisk tisk. But all ended well. Or at least I didn't get a phone call
nor have I been fired from the U.
All kidding aside I really appreciate the museum staff for supporting
this project. They asked me to do something for the event and I gave
them more to worry about than they thought. They were very
accommodating and understood what I was trying to acheive.
So back to how I made it. I cut out grass, wheat, and corn from the
plastic and I also made 9 5 x 8 foot paintings to go in the window
opposite the gallery. Anne and Katelyn were over there making the
anamorphic animation and when I would text Anne, they'd both remove one
painting and put the other up. I sprayed a little water on the glass
and capillary action did the rest. I simply used Dragon Frame to
capture the images! So enjoy. I sure did.
