Pixilation......First steps

Well last Thursday i had my introduction into pixilation and first impressions are i cant wait to do some more work on it. I enjoyed the introduction, Andy gave us a brief intro into what pixilation is all about and showed us some examples then he put us into groups of 4 and unleashed us with cameras to create our own collection on images. There was myself, Gigi, Jaz and Shelley in our group and we headed into the 'Arboretum' to collect some images we decided to use the slope that we found to our benefit so that we could make the whole sliding or gliding effect. We also used the trees to appear from behind of and then disappear behind again. We started to discover what works and what doesnt as we moved onto maybe slightly more original ideas we began to learn the boundaries of pixilation. We attempted to do a couple of shots where we wanted to create the effect of throwing somebody but in reality it came out pretty poor but it was a learning curve for us all. We discovered that some of the more simplistic ideas actually came out better on camera and those that seemed more impressive were probably best off left in the imagination for the time being or at least until we found our feet a little more. Ive got loads of ideas at the moment so im going to go write these things down while there in my head......back soon......
