Making the digital video “Figure/Ground” Part 10: More Digital Painting!
Thursday, January 14, 2010
In this post, we’re discussing a sequence, entitled, “December 14”. No tricks or special approaches in this sequence. Home shots with lots of people. Just masking and painting on hundreds of frames. Persevere. The end is near.
This blog entry is part of an ongoing series documenting the creation of my short film, “Figure/Ground”, about the death of my father, starring veteran actor Allan Kulakow. The finished film is a hybrid of photographic and painted imagery, created using Photoshop, After Effects and Final Cut Pro. The film uses many of the techniques discussed in my book “Digital Art Revolution”. I’ll document my techniques, approaches, decision process and frustrations in hopes that they’ll be of interest to digital artists and filmmakers.
Is all this a lot of work? Yes.
Well, some people knit or watch TV every night. I figure I’m not losing anything if I hang out with my family and make a movie on my laptop.
