Light Painting Techniques: 7 Useful Tips

Light painting is a fun photography technique where photographers use camera flashes, flashlights and spotlights to paint light in a scene. It can easily qualify as the best/most fun night photography technique. Although many photographers have attempted it before, only a few have mastered the technique. Below are some very useful techniques to consider when you want to perfect your light painting skills.

Cubism in Art

Between 1907 and 1914, a new visual art style was born and developed. Until this point in time, artists painted pictorial illusions organized of compositional space in terms of linear perspectives. Led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, the emerging style of this time period rejected the theory that art should copy nature and dismissed the traditional techniques of perspective, modeling, and foreshortening. Picasso and Braque chose to embrace and emphasize the two-dimensionality of canvas. They reduced and fractured objects then realigned them within shallow, relief-like space with multiple and contracting vantage points.

Tips for Zero Budget Short Filmmaking Nobody Will Tell You

If you are reading this, you must be someone who wants to make his first short film; however, an expensive budget stops you from making one. Yes, this is a common problem which first-time filmmakers face. Even when I started making short films, I had this problem. I have made five short films. All of them had zero budget.

In this article, I will share tips to make a short film without incurring any expenses. So, let's start.

Basic Principles of 3D Animation

65% of people are considered visual learners. This is easy to understand considering that most information (90%) that is transmitted to the brain is visual. It also transmits visual information much faster (60,000 times faster) than text. It is therefore not surprising that videos are the most popular medium for communication and engagement currently available online.

Vector Art Technique

Vector Art is a technique, which means art created with vector-based programs. Vector art basically uses dots, lines, and curves. Vector programs take note of the relationship between these elements. This allows images created to vary their scale without losing quality or pixelating. In comparison, pixels lose quality when they are raised above 100% of their size.

Popular vector programs are Illustrator, Freehand, Corel Draw, and Flash. Almost everything created with these programs is considered as vector work. I say "almost" because there are exceptions to each rule. If your vector work combines vector images with raster images, I'm afraid that it is no longer a vectorial work (and consequently does not belong to the Vector Gallery).
