Something new – An Image Sequence

I was inspired after watching Doctor Who Confidential the other day.  They were explaining how an image sequence was filmed using a still camera, but edited together to form part of the 'movie'.

Basically it involves taking a photo, moving slightly, taking another and so on.  It's kind of like animation but with real life subjects.

So while I was shooting with the lovely Cat the other day at Portland Bill I decided to give it a try.  It's a technique I'll be returning to as I think it has some interesting potential.

Below are the three attempts we made.  Not perfect, but for a first try I'm rather pleased. Next time I'll be trying it without the sheer drop behind me. Taking photos while trying to look into the view finder with one eye and trying not to fall over a cliff with the other is not exactly what you'd call easy.
