Alright, apps for light painting. I don't got a few to talk about. Hey class welcome back Mr. G here. Today we're going to continue on that we're doing a series here for light painting and making We're working on a whole different art world at this point. So again, this idea came from one of the resources I use at Facebook Miss A she's a middle school teacher. She was asking about light painting and I had so much fun making this video So I wanted to throw that out there ahead. Thank you so much for that I if you guys have an idea throw it out there. I'd love to make new stuff So bringing that back to today's class got to go through some different apps now me I'm going to find a way to make sure that everybody can do any of these art pieces that we do just because I want to make sure that Everybody can make art because art is fun and I've got lots of tools in my in my bag. I have a action cam. I've got the I've got the SLR to work with but most of us we're just going to be using our cell phone So today we're going to be talking about the apps and the tech that we're going to be using in that We're also going to be talking about how to bridge the gap because not everybody has All the pro skill sets so we want to make sure that amateurs to pros everybody can take can do this at home From middle school from the elementary school the middle school and the high school levels all those we cover today All right, so first off apps If you have a dedicated camera for this manual manual focus is what you guys are going to be using we'll get into that in a second But for most of us we are going to use on our cell phones So cell phone photography what apps do you need now? I know these are in a iOS and I'm really only dealing with iOS personally just because that's what I got Double check around for compatible apps in Android and the Play Store Guaranteed the probably going to be called the same thing if they're in there and so just kind of search around But they all kind of do the same just now the three apps that I used or downloaded was long exposure Slow camera and Yamra now long exposure. I didn't like right off the bat just because I thought the interface was not as user friendly As the other ones and I just was not a big fan of it you really have to kind of Set things up What are the levels that you guys are going to be using? What size of the camera it really makes it to where this works more like a manual camera where if you shoot manual a lot That's not that bad You set your ISO as low as possible for light for light painting you set your look your ISO as low as possible Make sure your shutter speed is as long as you possibly can Make it and then your focal length is just kind of in the same in the right space of where it's supposed to be to focus and then just practice working on light painting It sounds great in theory, but unless you're gonna sit there and do a lot of testing to make sure that everything works out perfectly It becomes much more of a burden than it does a pleasure and I'm all for I'm all for making a fun Activity for everybody to do instead of something that's like well, if this didn't work now the second one I did this is the one I shot most of my stuff on which was the which was slow camera. It was great. There was a There's a lot of Detail, oh, there's me. There's a lot of stuff on there that you can work with it. So you have Your ISO your focal length your exposure. It's kind of there at the top So if I'm doing light photography they have a light trail button on there click it go on start doing the lightbang super easy Very very cool the one thing that and this seems to be in all these apps is make sure that you turned on the save To camera roller save photo whenever you take a image because the first night I did this it wasn't on and I did A lot more paintings and I missed all of them because I didn't save them because I didn't know it was not saving the camp to saving it directly to the camera That that was that I was not that unhappy. I was not happy Finally Yamra is really good too, but again, this is for somebody who does a lot of photography with a traditional camera That app this app is great, but if you're not you just want to do light painting You got to know You have to know how to set up a camera low Your ISO needs to be really low again working around 100 your shutter speed should be Very low as well, which means so the shutter is open for an extended amount of time So it's not open for one fifth of a second. It's open up for five seconds Make sure that you're doing it right It's the same thing when I'm loading a kill and if I don't put in the right thing instead of having Stuff come out of the kiln. It's going to melt blow up or break Just because I'm off by one number Same thing for photography so make sure that you are putting in there the right settings your shutter speed very low your ISO very low your aperture Middle high so that 8 to 12 for your aperture if you can change all the f-stop Personally, I like to set up the grid which they have in here. It's again. It's a nice Camera app it works really good, but if you want something simple You got to know a little bit more about your your how to change the setting so So those are a couple apps that I got into that I was using there's a ton more apps Those ones were all free. That's the number one thing. I want to make sure they were all free apps So all free apps that I was using to create the create with and they work fine and we're great. They save the camera You do have to pay for certain aspects of some of them So like when you start moving around you're like oh, I want to do this So you have to pay to upgrade to the pro version of it. So But for what you want to do if you want to do light trails, it's there Now another main concern for this was bridging the experience gap. So the pro photographer versus the amateur the newbie though The haven't done these things before versus somebody who's done a lot of this or you've done photography for years This is one of those things where this is a whole family experience I totally think that everybody should play around with this as a group Because if you do it by yourself, it's just kind of it's fun But um, I think having having parents involved is a lot more a lot more fun Getting everybody involved for this where you're once you've got that camera set up You move over in front of it to get the light source. So I've had students who are wheelchair bound or Limited mobility and having them out in a space to where they can move just a little bit with a light and create the different shades Create the different objects Still gives them the same experience of creating these light paintings without having to deal with Any disability that they that they're trying to that they're working with and that makes a lot of life a lot easier. So Now I even found a way to incorporate the chromebook using this so if you're a student who Now if you're a student who has a chromebook and you're trying to figure out what can I do with my chromebook during this you can easily pull up a screen image of a different color and use that color out there to Let that be captured but and you can use that the color from the screen to work in your light capture in your light painting and You totally get all of the experience of doing everything With multiple different with multiple different tools. So we're using the chromebook as adaptive technology Or incorporating it by pulling up these swatches of color or pulling up different images lines if you just want to do like a Like a zebra pattern or something on there and moving that across the screen That's going to transfer into the image as well. That's going to bring out different design patterns in the image and you can totally Change this up from an elementary level all the way to a high school level Where if we're dealing with the elementary kids where you can do basic shape design we can do structure of color how color moves across the space um Dealing with glow patterns dealing with the way that light leaches out there's a lot of things that you can do that are most Generic standards that we deal with and then again You're just kind of upping that level from middle school or expanding on adding more lines adding more structure adding more color Into that image or just changing up the different facets You're finally for high school. You can use this to really start to accentuate sculptures. You can use this to accentuate Movement design where you're understanding the process and methodologies of how and we can look into our classic art since Raphael who was the master of light in painting and how you could have light convey around an object and you had these These nuances of of Renaissance painting involved and you can bring that into a modern landscape where we're taking these Designs or taking these designs or taking these images I were trying to make a new art form out of it. It's a lot of fun. I love doing this stuff Trying to expand expand your knowledge expand about so finally here We're just trying to get creative with our lights. We're trying to expand our knowledge So go out there play around have fun do some fun stuff get get weird images. Weirdest fun always Figure out how to write in in the sky find it figure out how to use light to To create different paintings as Painting structures just experiment So thanks for coming to class today guys. Hope you guys got something out today's awesome lesson as always This is a part of the series so there's more videos involved make sure you guys check out everything out Learn as much as you possibly can and as always let's take care of our homework Which is like subscribe share obvious platforms if you have a question during today's class Don't forget to raise your hand down in the comments below Happening into those questions for my students as always.
