Andy Earl is a former student of Nottingham Trent University. His degree show was when he first got noticed, the pictures for this show were taken at Royal Ascot, His process was to take two photos from slightly different angles to create a 3D affect.
Earl was approached to help to help Michael Gondry film a video for the Rolling Stones cover of "Like a Rolling Stone" This was made entirely of stills taken at slightly different angles and layered together to create a 3D affect. Naturally because they only had film cameras the team ran into several technical difficulties, However overall Earl shot 12,000 stills having to label each one individually left and right. The Warping affect created in this video by layering the images together gives the view a taste of what it feels like to be high on drugs. The Rolling Stones video was also based on the relationship between Andy Warhol and Eddie Sedgwick, showing how the Heiress went from being Americas Number 1 socialite to just another drug addict on the street. Because of this video being a huge success, Earl was approached by The Matrix to recreate the 3D affect in the films fight scene Although The Matrix needed a lot more cameras than the two used to film the music video previously mentioned.
Following on from this Andy Earl has done work for GQ and RollingStone Magazine.
There were two main things Andy Earl told us before we left the Lecture theatre which were
"Ultimately what people are interested in, is your ideas, what makes you tick"
and
"Nothing is holding you back, just go for it"
