Reflection - Gif
The gif I created captured a sequence of type keys striking the bare back of an old typewriter. Using a macro lens (set on the macro tab) to photograph made for an interesting series of compositions. Having such a narrow range of focus brought different keys in and out of the primary focal range, and contributed to the animation's low-budget cinematic feel. Also, in using the macro lens, I wanted to keep a very tight, close shot, almost unsteady. It was supposed to instill a sense of being close enough to touch. I'd first considered the typewriter for this assignment, but would have been interested to do other close encounter scenarios, as well, like coffee dripping from the brim of a cup, the spinning wheel of a tire, or a falling object.
