Making models

We are working on the two different softwares, 123D Catch and PhotoScan Pro.  We have gotten much better with our picture taking and therefore have had some successful models built.  They do need some cleaning, but we are getting there.  Meghan Cleveland's model was built with PhotoScan and Tenaya's Model was built with 123D Catch.

3D Software

We have now been introduced to two ways to construct 3D digital models from photos.  First we used a software called AgiSoft PhotoScan.  Thankfully right now the company is offering a 30 day free trial of their PhotoScan Pro software, which we were able to use and practice constructing basic models.

The second way we started to learn was by using the Autodesk 123D Catch app.  This is a free app available for iPads, iPhones, Android, and Windows.  Its pretty cool because it helps you to figure out what angle to take the photos from.  Once you take the photos on your device you upload them to their servers and the model is constructed.

3D digital modelling

Our intrepid young artists of Quinhagak have embarked on their journey to learn how to make 3D digital models through photogrammetry and computer vision.  The first thing we had to learn was how to take pictures.  Many of the young artists were in the photography workshops, but this time we have to think a little different about the pictures we take.  We selected the object we wanted to make a model of, then took pictures all around it from different angles so the software can match the points and build the model.

Quinhagak Youth Film Festival

We are proud to present the entries for the Quinhagak Youth Film Festival.  Turn out was good, with elders and youth in attendance.  We turned out workspace into a theater for the showing.

More Editing

The crews were again working on editing their interviews.  We worked on making the title sequence long enough, question panels long enough so viewers could read them, putting our questions in order to tell a story, and putting in our ending credits.  We are so proud of our little editors, they are putting a lot of hard work.

Preparing for the Film Festival

We are excited to announce that our art show for the film section of our project is going to be in the form of a film festival.  We are inviting the whole community to come to the Red Building and watch our films, all of which star community members of Quinhagak.

Perfecting Editing Skills

A few of the crews today were still out filming, but others were back in the Red Building editing away.  Every film should have a title sequence, introduction panels, transitions, and ending credits.  Two crews are half way done with their projects.  So proud.
