Bargain hunter indeed

£140 on www.fototo.co.uk

Now the Diana F+ camera is all mine.........I can't wait :)

However, I have seen some beautiful extra add-ons I now want, like lomography fotoclipsinstant back and ringflash......to name a few.

Lomography Diana F+ Deluxe Kit

Me wanty:





Includes: Diana F+, Diana Flash, hotshoe adaptor, cable release collar and cable release, Diana back and 4 masks for 4 kinds of film, viewfinder adapter, universal viewfinder, fisheye viewfinder, splitzer multiple exposure tool, 20mm fisheye lens, 38mm super-wide lens, 55mm wide-angle and close-up lens, 110mm telephoto lens, and ‘Diana Vignettes’ hardcover photo book.

for £185 via www.lomography.com (£35 cheaper than in urban outfitters!)
I must have it!

I checked out a few reviews first (of course) seeing as it's a big wedge of my student loan and I'm sold. I was thinking of getting a digital SLR as "an investment", but I like the idea of having different cameras that take different kinds of pictures. Plus, I'm a big fan of lomography or anything that can bring nostalgia. 

The Vintage Fair

This is where I'm heading today. No doubt I will end up spending far too much money on even more clothes. 

Worth it.

Tick tock

I often wonder why I like hearts so much. I also wonders why hearts are hearts - I mean real hearts don't look like this?!? Rather odd.

Me

Stress!

I need a hug from a particular person.

How to:

www.stopmotionanimation.com has lots of useful information for wannabe stop-motion animators. I think I'll be spending a lot of time reading.....

But, the basic steps are:

1... Capture Frames using a framegrabber/digital camera

2... Edit your footage and add any effects, titles, sound and music using standard video editing software

3... compress using video compression software

4... post it online or output to video

Post Secret



via post secret. I really like the idea of this blog; a collection of people's secrets. Maybe I'll send something in.....one day.

Bunny and the Bull

Everyone should watch Bunny and the Bull at least one time in their life. It's gone straight into favourite films list :)

Mix tape :)





I would quite like to use mix tapes in a stop-motion animation....

A very personal concept

I found this rather interesting article about HAVING IT ALL. Isn't that what everyone wants? I know I do.


But what is "it all" to me? 

Camera Camera Case


This is sooooo cute. I just love it, the colour scheme, the little creature, the scrabble letters :)

Mr. Squid's Handmade Moment - 3rd Runner Up - Handmade Moment Contest Su...


Maybe I could do a stop-motion video of something crafty?

Some ideas I've had:

  • Make it look like the object is making itself.
  • Have the sewing needles and threads etc moving around when I'm not looking. 
  • Sew a picture
  • Graffiti a photograph of someone I don't particularly like with embroidery (hate is too strong a word)
  • Have the objects spelling out words

Owwwww! Clever, but owwwww!

Stop motion with candles (pac man,space invaders, tetris...)

A simple idea, yet quite effective. To be honest, I'd like to make something better than this.....

Pancakes II: Pancakes for your face

My good friend Mark Jones found this little gem for me.......funny twat. I'm hungry.

The Original Human SPACE INVADERS Performance


This idea is so simple, yet so effective. I even like the noises :)

Hello, you.

I've decided to start a new blog.

A fresh start and all that......
