The self-portrait: Part I

One of the assignments that seems to be a big fave of art school classes is the self-portrait. I get to do this at least once and sometimes twice per semester. Here is the first one I did, in an introductory digital imaging class. Since this was the first project we did, mine is rather simplistic – all I did was take a photo of myself in a mirror and superimpose it with some of my own favorite photos. We had to have logical transitions in the movie, so I just layered one photo with the next for the transition stage. The images were done in Photoshop, and then everything was loaded into iPhoto to export as a movie – about as simple as it gets.
