MAGIC FLUIDS HDR 4K MACRO COLORS HDR VISUALS FLUID ART

#testvideo Ink in Motion, Experimental Fluid Art! All visuals were created by German artist Roman De Giuli. Filmed with an 8K cinema camera, provided in HDR! Terracollage // Experimental Fluid Art and Macro Cinematography // Stock Footage // Licensing // Production // 4K // HDR MAGIC FLUIDS focuses on the development of traditional fluid art and color pouring methods for video on the macro scale. The challenge for me was to minimize randomness and to really get control over the fluids in terms of form, speed and direction. I ran R&D for a few month and poured several hundred sheets of paper with paint to finally get a handful of stable methods. This is a very clean style with an almost graphic CG-look, but all properties of real organic visuals. Almost all effects you see in this video were created in camera. The only thing I added in post was lightning on a few shots. The most important thing for me was to create a practical effect where a color appears from nothing on a totally black canvas and expands to all sides. To achieve this, I made use of a layering technique by stacking paints with different densities and blend them with a flow release medium. Over time, the lower layer breaches the upper layer and starts to float on top. You cannot tell exactly where the top layer will breach, but you have a few seconds to reframe as you see the bottom layer shimmering through. Another issue I wanted to solve for years was color separation when using marbling techniques. To...
