I plan to expand upon Quiz #3: Retouching, for my final project. I had hoped to do more for the quiz but just ran out of time and decided to be conservative in my retouching. For this project I will completely alter a photo of myself and my girlfriend. Changing us into the Na'vi aliens from James Cameron's Avatar (trailer). My big idea for this project is Sci-fi and fantasy, something that interests and inspires me. I will use two promotional posters to influence my work (link, link). The meaning of this work may be difficult to discover, but I plan to alter the images of our faces into something completely different from what we look like now, but subtle features identifying us will remain. This strategy communicates the theme of the film: human and alien relationships. Several of the characters in the movie are "avatars," alien-human hybrid clones controlled by humans on the hostile alien homeworld. One of these avatars becomes very involved with the Na'vi culture and even falls in love with a Na'vi woman. I will attempt to display this duality of cultures with my project.
I hope to use vectors and groups in my creations.
My big idea is sci-fi and fantasy and my influences the above links as well as the 15 minute Avatar preview I saw in IMAX 3D on August 21st.
