I updated the slide show from the previous post.
The only difference is that grading or stylized colour has been added.
Colour Grading is something I find fascinating to watch but elusive to create. When you see before & after shots of something before & after it was graded the difference can be huge. It obviously looks different, but it also feels different & that is usually the thing that's more important. The colour enhances the mood & emotion of the story. Even if you never see a before & after ideally you will still get the feeling they're going for.
Grading is hard. it's even hard to do a half baked job of it. It's really hard to do well and the people who do it well are wizards. I can't afford to send my little videos to a wizard to work on, which is why I'm trying to work towards doing a half baked job of it.
The idea with this one was to have it feel like dreaming of a happy memory then waking up & being a little disappointed that the dream is over, but happy you had it.

I'm not sure if the colouring really makes that much difference here, but you have to start somewhere.
A quick little slideshow of photos from Summerfolk 2017.
All the photos are being posted on Flickr. One photo a day until they're done.
This type of slideshow (each photo for a very short time, pan & zoom, no style elements) is something I saw years ago and liked. So, I tried it & liked the results, but it's so easy to over use or to use for something that doesn't fit the stripped down style.
It seems to work pretty well for Summerfolk. I think it could almost go a little faster.
Any thoughts?

These are scans of paper photos from the late 90's & have retained (in part) the names I gave them when they where scanned in the early 2000's.
