Lenticular is a 3d form of photography allowing you to show two images on one print. This is done with triangular prisms side by side with one image on one of the surfaces and another on the other side.
Eadweard Muybridge started professional photography from sometime between 1861 and 1866 after he had recovered from a serious accident where he was bodily ejected out of a stagecoach and hit his head. Muybridge then made his way back to the states in 1867 where he became successful with his new talent due to his highly proficient technical skills and an artist's eye. His main focuses where on landscape and architectural photography. Muybridge had even converted a lightweight carriage into his own portable darkroom to be able to carry out his work more efficiently. Muybridge established his reputation with photos of the Yosemite Valley wilderness and areas around San Francisco. In 1872 Leland Stanford (The former governor of California and race-horse owner) hired Muybridge for some photographic studies on horses. The studies was to find out if all four hooves of a horse were of the ground while trotting. Muybridge began experimenting with 12 cameras set up in an array ...
I have completed a test for a analog 3D idea where I took an image of a random persons face, mounted it on foam core and then cut a section out of it to then show a layer below which was the part of the skull that would be behind that part of the flesh. Then I cut another hole in the skull part which also was mounted on foam core to then have the brain behind it to show the layers of a humans head. The effect seems as if the head has actually been cut into to show the other layers that you don't see, unless you are a doctor. The foam core also adds to the layering as it then shows depth and that the layer is behind another layer or in front of one. Creating this had its difficulties as there was only one take on cutting through the foam board and image and getting the positioning right for each image to then show through. The cuts are perfect on this piece so it wasn't going to be nor was intended to be a final piece, but more of a proof of concept.
I had previously created a time lapse of this location but it to me wasn't good enough due to a couple reasons, one being that it wasn't that long of a video, I wanted it to be a little bit longer. The other reason was that during shooting the the time lapse i had moved the camera while it was taking the images by accident, this resulted in the framing being different so in around the middle of it the shot jumps to a slightly different shot, which I was not happy with. So I resulted to re-shooting the images to create a new time lapse and this is what the end piece was. To create this time-lapse I used a sturdy tripod were I made sure that the legs and positioning of the camera was all locked into place after I had lined the shot that I wanted up with the camera. I used an Intervalometer or timer remote controller that simply plugs into your camera, I set the settings to end up taking a shot every 6 seconds after each exposure had completed as each shot was exposed for 4 ...
