Beauty and The Beast



Since this class is about experimenting, I am experimenting more. The idea of randomness is like a magnet for photography and music. These elements put together can result in craziness of visual interest (at least in my opinion) and fun. In this piece, the random distortions mixed with reality bring up a combination of ugliness and fun, presenting the idea that nothing is what it seems. Normal elements suffer transformation and deformity until they appear to be something else, although they have the same essence. Beautiful girls become ugly transformed by silliness and playfulness, and ugly guys become uglier for the entertainment of their daughters. The random composition of the piece also makes me wonder about the randomness of our lives and how we evolve and change as individuals influenced by the unique circumstances that we encounter along the way.

Nice video. It's amazing what you can do in Photoshop (that was Photoshop, I'm assuming). Fun to watch and an appropriate musical soundtrack, too.
