"Telephone" by Victoria Taylor-Gore

"Telephone" by Victoria Taylor-Gore from Victoria Taylor-Gore on Vimeo.

This is just a short test (with an old phone that I had for years) to play with my Tokina 100mm f2.8 macro lens and the Canon 7D using Photoshop CS4 filters. Filters were applied frame by frame in Photoshop CS4 (the "watercolor" filter) and then I exported a high quality AVI to use in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. There was only a little tweaking done in Premiere (such as some levels adjustments and flickering effects, but no color grading). I used the tungsten white balance setting on my Canon 7D and shot in pretty low light. I didn't use any audio from the original footage...not sure how one would handle that.

I'm just learning all of this myself so here is a tutorial on using Photoshop for video from Adobe TV: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/short-and-suite/using-video-in-photoshop-cs4 .

I'll warn you that this process of adding frame by frame Photoshop filters to a video in Photoshop is very time consuming and takes a lot of processing power. I was unable to directly import the Photoshop file with the video into Premiere directly because it was a huge file and it would freeze up Premiere. I finally had to export the video out of Photoshop as an AVI file (Cinepak, best quality, original video frame rate, unchecked and left blank "key frame every" and "limit data to") to get the video out of Photoshop to behave in Premiere and keep high quality. It was worth it - I love the almost film noir 1940's - 1950's look the watercolor Photoshop filter created and the soft yet somewhat gritty texture. There is a lot of potential for creating more unique custom effects using Photoshop CS4 filters added to video.

"Flames" by Victoria Taylor-Gore

"Flames" by Victoria Taylor-Gore from Victoria Taylor-Gore on Vimeo.

This is the first video I have taken with the Canon 7D...and a Tokina AT-X 100mm f/2.8 PRO D Macro Lens. I'm new at using a 7D, so I was trying different settings...afraid the video got a little "noisy" in places, but I liked the effects at any rate. Lots more to learn!

As far as the theme...I wanted to play with light, movement, and composition. In my artwork, I focus in on objects - like to bring inanimate objects to life...rarely feature people in my work, and I doubt that will change much as I start to make videos. I love the effect of one object disappearing as another one comes into focus - very magical.

"Through the Window" by Victoria Taylor-Gore

This is a shorter version of a previous video that I did...short and sweet ; )

"Through the Window" by Victoria Taylor-Gore from Victoria Taylor-Gore on Vimeo.

Just a short video I created from one of my pastels...I animated and edited this video in Adobe After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4. The pastel used is from my Route 66 series of imaginary motels from the 1940's - 1960's, and many works from that series are inspired from classic film noir.

"Following" by Victoria Taylor-Gore

"Following" by Victoria Taylor-Gore from Victoria Taylor-Gore on Vimeo.

There is a lot of detail in this video, so it is best viewed full screen.

This is a video that I remixed and edited in Adobe After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4. These remixed videos are like moving collages to me, and I am interested in isolating certain parts of the original footage and repeating them to create a visual rhythm...then making more drama with color, movement, and texture effects. Being an artist makes me look for more of a visual dialogue than a literal story.

"Landscapes" by Victoria Taylor-Gore

"Landscapes" by Victoria Taylor-Gore from Victoria Taylor-Gore on Vimeo.

This video consists of sections of several pastels that I have done in the past. Using Photoshop, I have isolated different areas of a few pastels and then imported the flat 2D "sets" into After Effects CS4 and put them on 3D layers so that the viewer can visually travel through the drawings. Final editing was in Premiere Pro CS4.

My pastels are usually simplified landscapes and architectural spaces with exaggerated perspective, and the 3D layer manipulation of my work in After Effects (with its inherent warping and distortion of form) plays well into my artistic style.
