Image Bank – Animation

Animation is something that can be created using a regular digital camera. It is created by taking a series of shots at a high shutter speed and then uploading them into a programme like Photoshop and saving them together as a GIF. I have found a lot of animations that are actually already makeup/beauty related that have inspired me. I like the first animation I found which showed the application of makeup – this is something that I would like to experiment with myself (I think it could work particularly well with applying nail varnish). The second animation, and similarly with the third, showed women admiring their makeup. This is a good way I could get total focus on the makeup that I chose to in a shoot and a way of getting the audience to see it from lots of different angles e.g. showing eye makeup with your eyes closed and open. Working the face so much expression is important and can also affect the overall feel of a look. Animation could be a way of me showing how the feel of a look that I can create can change depending on the expression of the subject e.g. having a soft innocent expression and then a fierce and dramatic expression but using the one look.
