skysphere

so, i'm not particularly one for convention. i enjoy most things if they have fifty years of rust and sweat on them. shiny, new plastic sort of weirds me out. this may seem irrelevant, but truthfully, i apply this love of vintage to my art as well. so, when making a sky sphere for this assignment, i knew i had only a few options.

first, i tried to make/take a panorama of my room. it sort of worked but considering i'm doing this at 2 am the night before it's due, i didn't have a lot of time to work with it. (i'm sorry ben, here is the reason why: http://vimeo.com/14790347 five months of hard work. it ended tonight).

so, first attempt failed miserably. BUT, i did use some found images and some lights (i know, i'm ahead of the game) to make this skysphere really work. i used two vintage images, one of las vegas and one of philadelphia. i also found an image online that made a really cool rendered picture. it looks real except the backwards text.

enjoy!
