"Turning music into pictures"
This month’s contest is about creating a render based on a song or a piece of music.
In this month's contest, your task is to create an image based on a song or a piece of music. Try to capture the mood of the music and picture what the lyrics and the music says to you. You can freely pick the song, but you have to let us know what song you picked.
Intent: To use the principles you have learned (lighting, composition, posing, expression, etc.) to effectively capture the essence of the song you have chosen.
Pick a song, then turn it into an image by using your imagination, and remember that there is no write or wrong in the interpretation of music.
I will be checking in on the WIP THREAD as will the rest of the Community Volunteers to try and help with anything you all may need, or to give you any hints and tips you can use..
For a list of the current contest rules, please see this thread: Contest Rules
Closing Date: November 30st, 2014
