Motion







The height of the Renaissance Faire is the joust at the end of the day. It pits the noble Duke Edward against the evil Dame Fiona. Here, after the tilting, they have at it with swords. TiltShift Generator & Infinicam helped augment the energy and motion of the contest of arms.

As a teenager, I became infatuated with King Arthur and all that had to do with chivalry and the Knights of the Round Table. I never dreamed I'd be able to see a joust. One can only imagine how much thrilled I've been to discover a Renaissance Faire here in Connecticut. OK, the jousts are staged, but still require considerable skill; and afterall, this is why we're endowed with imagination. I donned my gown and cloak to cheer Sir Devin on to victory. Using Dark Strokes and Motion Blur creates an illustration for Morte D'Arthur.
