3D Craft/Lens

I found it quite hard to think of something to mutate into. In the end I thought about how I had been eating more veg at home and I quite liked the idea of becoming a vegetable. 

I found out we had a big green sack I could stand in and lots of cardboard so I painted the cardboard green and stapled it to the sack to become a leek (maybe stapling was not the best method of attachment as it was pretty weak).

I had decided to photograph it in a flower bed/plant area to make it seem more like a leek in the wild. By this point I realised it didn't look that much like a leek (but maybe interesting as an abstract interpretation of veg). It turns out it is very hard to compose a photo when you aren't taking it- I would normally work out the composition as I'm taking the photo (trying to vaguely direct my dad was hard) and I didn't really like the cold wintery colours of the photo but it was so cold in the sack on the frozen ground I didn't want to hang around for long. Of the few, I thought a few worked slightly- but didn't quite capture what I wanted. 

Feel like this didn't quite show the
context- space?

Am I a leek growing or
just standing in a bag?

I find the new fangled adventurous side of 3D illustration pretty interesting and this has made me realise that like drawing storyboarding for a film, the composition is as important as the focus- and the composition probably needs to worked out at a similar time to the making of the focus (the object you are photographing)

I have just thought that I could have used a tripod, set up the shot, framed it and then set a timer- hindsight?

Liked the space in this shot- feels
cold and sad
