1. Full Presentation
CHRIS HOLDEN
Illustration and Digital Imaging
I have been designing and illustrating for over 40 years, 20 of them working with digital
applications. Photo retouch skills date back to the early 80s using airbrush, transitioning
to all digital photo imaging by the 90s. This presentation features some samples of my
photo and motion graphics work. Thank you for viewing.

Sinemurian stage of the Early Jurassic of what is now Italy.
Gag photo enhance requested by a paleontology student (of Italian descent.) Captioned:

8. Inspired by the photo of my granddaughter looking out the window for me, knowing I was coming to visit, I saw this image
much like the iconic Americana style of Norman Rockwell. Hence, the tribute.

9. Another work of digital art with my granddaughter as subject.

10. Private commission to restore fire damaged photo.

11. Damaged photo restoration.

12. Damaged photo restoration.

13. Restoration from polaroid. Restored version was larger and higher resolution for framing.

14. Client provided photo was enhanced, stylized, and cmyk separated for t-shirt print for local screen printing shop.

15. Using the original photo I created two different environment settings featuring the subject.

16. 757 being decommissioned, sentimental pilot took photos on his phone. He wanted them
stitched an retouched. There were conflicting perspective issues; I had to remap images.

17. Owner wanted phone image of his pet cleaned up and resized for framing. Final image retouched to 7”x10” high resolution.

18. Just some digital fun with a photo of my daughter on her Hawaii trip.

22. Raw footage shot on street next to my house and finished video. It was October and 90 degrees (typical Texas fall), my daughter
was happy to douse herself with water for the effect. This was a spontaneous idea intended to be an experiment in using multiple
apps and techniques so I just use a hand held camera. Wish I had used a tripod. Motion tracking and stabilization has its limits.

23. A bit dramatic but I wanted to try a green screen for the first time. Results were shocking!

24. Animated GIF created from photo taken at Hurricane Ridge, Olympic Mtns.

25. 3D animated GIF created for ‘Altered Egos’ website.

26. Title page footage for new website I am currently building. Video will be interactive with hot spots to navigate
anytime during it’s run, either by clicking one of the flashing icon links or clicking the turbine to exit video to
main menu. Main menu also pops up at end of 90 second video.
