She was never wearing the dress, that is from another shoot from another model. Once I know which portrait I am using to create the image then I know my angle/perspective that I need to match to for the rest of the images. Elements are extracted from various photos by either color keying them to isolate the desired object or painfully cutting them out ( called roto work ). Also I like to gather environment images on cloudy days so there are no distinct key lights ( the sun).<br />The portraits were all shot in my studio. <br />All digital manipulation was done in PS3. <br />The final image is +4K in size. <br /><br />model: Jasmine WorthKrista Bensonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01947682085949447993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000280443420694569.post-65200562324473674442009-04-03T15:59:00.000-07:002009-04-03T16:00:43.901-07:00<object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3979911&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3979911&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/3979911">The Death Queen</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/tinydragon">Krista Benson</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.<br /><br />concept, direction, VFX: Krista Benson<br />model: Sarah<br />costume: Skin Graft Designs<br /><br />This is a test I made for a story idea I have.<br /><br />Shot at 720p 30fps on the Casio EX-F1, compositing in Nuke,<br />Edit in Final CutKrista Bensonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01947682085949447993noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000280443420694569.post-5587260246689788122009-03-31T10:42:00.000-07:002009-03-31T16:48:22.507-07:00Feeling Creative!<object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3884065&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3884065&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/3884065">Remembering Another World</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/tinydragon">Krista Benson</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.<br />Model: Rosie<br />clothing: Skin Graft Designs skingraftdesigns.com<br />Design, Direction, VFX : Krista Benson<br /><br />I have been inspired to create little vignettes of story ideas I have in my mind lately.

Sadly, this film is no longer even being made and is becoming very hard to get a hold of. I loved it so much because for about $2 pre sheet you got a 4x5 polaroid and negative film from one image. One of my favorite images taken with Type 55 was a portrait of my good friend <br />Benjamin. Here is the image. <br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v200/aphrodite_in_la/?action=view¤t=face_web_r3_c12.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/aphrodite_in_la/face_web_r3_c12.jpg" border="0" alt="benjamin"></a><br /><br />This was shot with very shallow depth of field.

The model is the beautiful Gizel. <a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/59897"></a> <br /><br />I like to think of this video as an experiment in motion with beautiful results. <br />The music of NIN adds to the eery sensual tone set by the repetitive yet random motion <br />of her golden strands swaying back and forth. The slow motion footage plays backward <br />giving Gizel the appearance of being underwater, then the footage repeats forwards to <br />ground the experience. <br /><br />Special thanks to the Raven Family Ranch.<br /><br /><br />NIN GHOSTS 9<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jkb_1LM9wIY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jkb_1LM9wIY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Krista Bensonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01947682085949447993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000280443420694569.post-12603287815701251052008-06-19T14:23:00.000-07:002008-06-19T14:25:41.181-07:00Fire PoiMatte Sweeney works his fire poi magic!
