Digital Image Creation and Development: Art of Levitation

For the final task, we are asked to create digital photos with these either or all of these 4 themes:
  • 360° Panoramic View (VR)
  • Light Painting
  • Art of Levitation
  • Time-lapse
For now, the theme that I had done is 'Art of Levitation'.
These are among the good ones.

Digital Image Creation and Development: Photo Paper Developing Process

To process photo paper, the chemicals that are used were:

Paper Developer


Image 2
Stop Bath (ILFOSTOP)

Image 3
Rapid Fixer

Ready 3 empty containers to fill the chemicals.

For the first chemical, it is Paper Developer, use at dilution of 1+9. Pour it in the first container.

The second chemical is Stop Bath, use at dilution of 1+19. Pour it in the second container.

The third chemical is Rapid Fixer. use at dilution of 1+9. Pour it in the last container.

Before taking out the photo paper, make sure there are no source of light.

After choosing which photo you want to process from the film negative using the photo enlarger machine, expose the photo paper using the light from the machine and put it inside the first container.

Soak the paper inside the first container containing Paper Developer for 2 minutes.

Soak the paper inside the second container containing Stop Bath for 1 minutes.

Soak the paper inside the last container containing Rapid Fixer for 5 minutes.

Finally, soak inside of a tub with running water.

Digital Image Creation and Development: Film Developing Process

In this module, for the first task, we were taught on how to clean film negatives.
These were the chemicals used in-order for the cleaning process.

Film & Paper Fixer (RAPID FIXER)


The process of getting the film out from the case are in the dark, so no pictures were taken.
To get the film out, we use scissors to cut out the top of the film case.

Then, cut the both end of the film.

Empty film case

Insert the negative film inside a developer reel in the dark. Pinch a bit to make it easier for the film to enter the reel.

Put it in developer tank and close the lid.
After all the above step is done, the lights could be turn back on.

Now to prepare the chemicals to develop the film.

The first chemical that I use is ILFOSOL 3, use at dilution of 1+14. Pour it in the developer tank for 6 minutes.
The steps on how to shake the tank are, for the first minute; shake continuously, then put it down for 30 seconds. Continue shaking the tank until 30 seconds and repeat the same process for the next 4 minutes. For the last minute, shake the tank continuously. Drain the chemical from the tank. Then tap the tank  firmly to make sure there aren't any air bubbles inside with the film.

For the second chemical, it is ILFOSTOP, use at dilution of 1+19. The duration is 3 minutes. The steps used is the same as before.

For the third and final chemical, it is RAPID FIXER, use at dilution of 1+9. The duration is 5 minutes. The steps used is the same as before.

Finally, take the film out of the tank, and let it soak inside of a tub with running water.
Hang it to let it dry.

Back view

After assembling my black and white print of mocap packaging, there are lots of errors that I've encountered. These are the ways to counter them:

  1. Add 1cm at each corner for the typos and logos.
  2. Increase the size of UEFA logo.
  3. Align Football club logos with the typos. (backside packaging)
  4. Rotate the top AXE logo 180 degrees.
  5. Increase the diameter of the hole circle by 1-2mm.
  6. Decrease the length of the packaging height by 1cm. (backside)
  7. Get rid of the brim. (top front of the packaging)
  8. Change the inside scoop of the front packaging to square shape. (no more skew/angle, in order to fill the gap)
  9. Decrease the size of the font. (back of the packaging)
