I was given the opportunity to borrow a latex penis which resembles the prosthetic's that will be used in Forms of Friction. This test shoot was mainly used for experimenting with colour and hard contrasts.
The colour of the latex is more of an off-white colour. This being the case, lighting is a crucial component in highlighting the details of the prosthetic. The angle of the lighting during production has the ability to effect the image in post production.
Further lighting experiments are yet to come!
Video
Being that I was given this opportunity to experiment with one component of my piece (the male prosthetic), I decided to also do stop motion test shoots. This test shoot was used to experiment with lighting, colour, and the visibility of the prosthetic in the process.
The conclusion of this test shoot is that there are to be many more test shoots, more lighting investigations, and more colour tests.
Projection Tests
This test shoot was for experimenting with different surfaces, multiple images and motion. The projection surfaces include: Paper rolls, which were used to test the idea of projecting on large cardboard tubes; the wall, and curtains.
The projection of multiple images is another way in which Forms of Friction can be visualized. Instead of the viewer having to approach the installation, the installation will surround the viewer.
