Last week in our Communications Lab class, we discussed photo manipulation.
Today, a friend posted a video on her FB Wall, that really depicts the whole process – from makeup session, to photo session, to photo manipulation and print.
I really like the video, but what I don’t understand is why people constantly make the comment that a video with this type of subject matter is great for teenagers, without any mention of how this type of video may benefit all members of society. I feel insecure about my appearance as I did when I was a teenager, but perhaps I’ve lived enough to appreciate the amount of variation in the population to know that I’m not as unusual as I may think I am.
Anyway, it is a good video, so watch it. It’s good for you.
Dove evolution video
…ok, so actually, I think the advertising from Dove is clearly implied on the billboard at the end. It’s a billboard for a make-up brand called “Fasel” – aka False? – Foundation. Anyway, it’s a brand of makeup that doesn’t exist.
