Showing sequenced shots. ILikeBrightColours
Need some advice on layouts for sequenced shots bassically.
I've come up with this and for the images that are used i think it's alright. But i have some other images that i like more and want some better layouts for printing and using in a online magazine. The film strip is good but overused i feel. If any of you have any tips or examples i would much apreciate them.

Just tried this combined sequence picture, harder than i thought. Don't know if i was going about it right though. I did a photomerge in photoshop, kept each image as a layer then went through and used the background eraser to expose the rider in each image.

Tips anyone?

Exposure is different accross the picture, make sure you keep it on manual so they are the same. Try just allowing the bike to come out and keep one background the same throughout.

Yeah plan trying that next time im out, gotta remember to take the tripod with me. Still not sure the way i merged the images was right but it works the same as cutting and pasteing the rider by the look of it.

Anyone got examples of sequences similar to the first image? Can be of anything just need inspiration, spent hours looking now cant find jack on frame by frame sequences.

Try to use the exposure lock on your camera...That will lock in your exposure settings.
Second use the burst mode if available.

Any ideas with the first image though? Like layouts etc? I can only find crappy film style layouts. I've come up with the idea of laying the 5 or so images out like a comic book page but wont have time to try that out untill next week now.

How would you show 5 sequenced pictures in the one image?

Photomerge isn't the way to go about that, either. Just do what you basically already did: copy all the images into one document as a bunch of layers, then just erase the non-crucial parts. Photomerge is for making a bunch of pictures into a panorama.

and look to comics for examples of how to do sequential art. They've been doing it right for a hundred years already.

Don't forget to add SFX and word balloons.

is totally ignorant of art history.

Ever heard of a polyptych? It's when two (diptych), three (the most common, a triptych), or more (just called a polyptch) paintings or scenes are combined together, usually into a big folding thing, and presented as one.

Perfect (and famous) example, the Ghent Altarpiece.

Or perhaps he understands the artistic concept quite well but wanted to make a joke about the post he was replying to referring to it as "like a comic book page".

Pro Tip: It's easier to shoot without a huge stick up your ass.
