158. Long Portrait(s): Stephen Niebauer
4 months ago
For the weekend project: long portrait.

I made my roomate listen to two different songs while he did this. Song two starts at 4:34.

This is a long long portrait, so you don't have to watch it all, it's interesting to see the sun/lighting change if you scrub through the video after it buffers. Also to observe his facial expressions from one song to the other.

    Dammit Karen, stop doing everything better than everyone else! But seriously, this turned out really awesome.
  • oh sunny day, psh no i didn't did you see the long portrait with the dog? so good.
  • Sunny Thaper plus 4 months ago
    YEAH! I was a little mad that it wasn't my idea. I recorded my lp (sounds funny) today and put up a behind the scenes video to show everyone how awesome my subject's clothes were. I ended up getting a TON of interest on Twitter so I'll probably have a few by the end of the week.

    nice portrait, it's funny cause it makes me think about how i look and act when i listen to music(weird :D).

  • Stephen Niebauer staff 4 months ago
    i knew them both. the first one was difficult because i wanted to close my eyes and enjoy the song. the 2nd was hard because i wanted to dance.

    It's a cool idea, and an excuse to good music it up.

    Love the videos, and I just want to magically steal your camera and lenses and somehow transport them back to the UK because they are mighty fine.
