Inflating Merkaba Cinemagraph

Posted by inflatabill in photography on February 21, 2012

One of the newest trends in digital photography is the Cinemagraph. Made popular by the fashion photographers Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck, the cinemagraph is essentially a still photograph, but with subtle movement. There are many ways to make a cinemagraph, but with this image, I took the easy way by using the Kinotopic app for the iPhone.  It’s [...]

Inflatable Costumes

Posted by inflatabill in musings on February 18, 2012

Back in the day, I used to make inflatable costumes.  I still have a box full of them, and they certainly come in handy whenever I’m in need of a quick costume, but it’s been a while since I’ve made any new ones.  I like making them, and they’re definitely fun to wear, it’s just [...]

Golden Gate Bridge Panoramas

Posted by inflatabill in photography on February 3, 2012

I went for a hike around the Presidio in San Francisco and shot these panoramas of the Golden Gate Bridge.

This animation required 4,238 individual photographs [...]

Mermaid Bubble

Posted by inflatabill in video on January 18, 2012

This was the first appearance of the bubble, and the reason why I built it. The concept was to have a mermaid in a bubble in the middle of the room. She had to be able to enter and exit the bubble gracefully, without any noisy blowers or air compressors, and she should be able to stay inside for long periods of time without running out of oxygen. We then had a pair of flower artists create a living flower mandala around the base of the bubble. I just happened to be filming when this spontaneous interaction happened.

Bubble Dancer

At the end of the night, this girl asked if she could still dance in the bubble.  She ended up being my favorite dancer of the night.
