Edgar Allan Poe Seen Alive

View abstract

For this presentation, I have researched the general appearance and special facial characteristics of famous literary figures, specifically Edgar Allan Poe, in an effort to bring him back to life. Using Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, I have colorized and transformed photo portraits, from a time when motion pictures were not around, into key frames for animation.Through this process of photo manipulation, we can create a look back in time at the people from our past.
