portfolio My-Folio

www.my-folio.com 

this did give me an idea on what my portfolio should look like and what it should contain. some of the examples were really professional looking. but to be honest I found the presentation not as informative as I thought it would be.

Andrew Gill magic lantern show

Andrew Gill is a professional magic lantern showman. He presents authentic magic lantern shows and gives talks and seminars on Victorian optical entertainments.

Quite an interesting lecture based on Victorian optical entertainment he  goes through each of the types of optical entertainment from 1787 to pretty much the 1960's with Cinematography. I enjoyed the magic lantern show with the stories that he told while using the slides.

One optical entertainment that i liked was the zeotrope that was used in the  1830's.

 

 I liked the Zoetrope because they remind me of a night light that does a similar thing but instead of looking in you are looking at the shadows on the wall.
