The knee bone’s connected to the thigh bone
February 10, 2012 About my museum job, Archaeology, Blogs, Centre for Human Bioarchaeology, MOLA OsteologyI recently spent the day with Museum of London Archaeology photographer Andy Chopping.
On arriving at the photography studio I was greeted by a large white backdrop screen and an array of camera and lighting equipment adjusted to my height. I had brought with me one of the well preserved human skeletons from our archaeological collections and began to set out the bones onto a large, six foot long light box.
I laid out the skeleton in standard anatomical position as I would during full osteological analysis: the body extended on the back with the feet together and palms facing forwards. Starting with the skull, I worked my way down through the spinal column, arms, hands, legs, feet and finally the ribs.
This time, however, a large camera pointed directly at me, recording my every move. A total of 600 images were captured at one frame per second with simultaneous flashes from the lighting creating a strobe effect.
The result was a stop motion video, an animation whereby hundreds of individual images were edited down to form a 40 second film replayed at 12 frames per second (click link below to play).
The final product was edited down into a Quick time movie using Final Cut Pro
