1st year magic animation

magic

I researched into the wiccan religion and found that most of the spells they perform require a candle of a certain colour. e.g. white=positive energy

black=negative energy

Fire also has a magical, hypnotic quality to it so I wanted to portray the same feeling.

 first experimented with photographing candles on a low shutter speed to create orb-like light. played around with the contrast on photoshop.

I wanted to create more feeling of movement with the flame, so my final piece became a stop frame animation, which was on a USB stick inside a 'magic box' I made.
