Q4 2021 – Make us hungry (or thirsty)!
The winter is here, and the cold temperature that are soon coming will give us many opportunities to practice our Cooking skills.
This is why this quarter PICZ is asking you to make us hungry. In the comfort of your home, in the studio or outside, we want to lick our chops while looking at your shoots.
The restaurants have reopened so it will also gives you excuse to go out! The creativity and the capacity of putting a scene together is what we will be looking at this time. The technic shouldn’t be forgotten and I am sure the splashing effects could also give you a competitive advantage.

Title: Thirsty?

Description: Water dropping experiment. Synchronisation is the key to get a picture of a water drop collision. I initially try by luck but quickly realise that I needed to put in place a machine to be able to reproduce the result. I did so with some electronic tricks (Arduino) and some scripting (Python) + after finding some reliable and precise water valves that are precise enough to drop several small drops per seconds
