The Journey

[BrianH]

I have today submitted my first AV on slideshowclub so hope I have followed the correct procedures.

The title is The Journey and follows mans efforts to get into space moving into a fictional second half journey to find other planets we can colonize. The sequence took several months to complete and resulted in learning many new photographic techniques. I photographed smoke trails from incense sticks and then overlaid key components required for space travel in the first section. A specialist miniature builder spent 72 hours building me a unique mother ship and shuttle. I used Photoshop to build nebula, star fields and space images from my collection of sky/cloud images. Special software was used to build and modify some of the planets. I photographed and extracted the miniature space ships and saved as png images allowing me to pan and zoom them through the space scenes. My aim was to produce as far as possible all my own space scenes and not use any downloaded ie NASA images. The only images not of my own making are NASA images of the Apollo lunar orbiter and our planet Earth An appropriate sound track was mixed to compliment the sequence. Great fun, although sometimes frustration in getting it all together, was had and is ongoing as I come up with new ideas.
