Glasses - Fake Ad

C&C2

This is an advertisement for sunglasses that I created for an assignment.

Here is an explanation of the entire ad:

I chose to photograph sunglasses for this assignment, although when I went to buy a pair, I couldn't decide between two colours - so I bought both. When figuring out how I'm going to place the glasses together to be photographed, I noticed that they form the shape of an eye when they overlap. I made the glasses look like this using one piece of tape. Because the glasses formed the shape of an eye, I decided to use the shape to make a company logo. After I created the logo, I realized it looked like two letter C's wrapping around a circle. I used that to create the company name, C & C, Cain & Clarence Eyewear. I wanted to add a question or statement to my ad, so I came up with "What do you see?" in regards to the illusion of shape in my ad, as well as how sunglasses change the way you view things. I changed the word "see" to "C" so that it compliments the use of the company name. I also changed the layout of the question to appear like an eye exam, although reversed so that the letter C is the biggest.

I hope you like it.

Grolsch beer I shot for a school assignment. I'm not sure I like the way I lit it anymore.

For another assignment we had to shoot glass with a coloured background. I want to do more.

"ANA", an anorexia video.


Please watch the video at 720p, it doesn't even seem to be synced properly at any other viewing setting. I had a lot of technical issues..

I made this "photo essay" for an assignment, and I chose the topic of anorexia. I've never had my own experience with anorexia (more like the opposite), but I've had my own personal beauty issues which I think affected me in a similar way. Majority of the video was photographed by me. Some shots were taken with the help of friends, and a few other photos (the clips in the television) were taken from the internet. I feel like the media's influence is a big part of anorexia, so I used actual media photos that I found - I couldn't have replicated it to get the same effect.

Regardless, I'm happy with some parts of my video and I can't wait to start shooting/editing some real video footage in the future.

Not even the heaviest anchor can change time's course.
