I directed and edited ARTMS’ “bornstunner.mp4”!
It was a very unusual project, but just like the blonde girls with angel wings multiplying throughout the city, it was really exciting to see the 240p version of this video being copied and spread across the internet.
Digipedi team helped me a lot during the shoot. I’m really honored that I got to be a part of their story, which I’ve always loved.
I had a general plan for the edit beforehand, but mostly just followed my instincts as I worked, which was a really fun process.
The fun part of experimenting with brushes is that you have to figure out how the ink behaves first. How it spreads. How it flows. Only after that do you start thinking about texture. And honestly both parts are hard in their own way.
What I tried today was adding something like a magnetic force into the ink. So while drawing, these unexpected textures start to show up.Most of the strength and density come from layering 2D Perlin noise. It’s actually really fun to play with.
A lot of time goes into things no one ever notices.
That’s just life :)
