Water Colour

So I decided to spend some time doing an expiremental video of food colouring dropped into a clear acrylic box of water. I wanted to see what would happen and the different effects that could be created and how good it would look when filmed. The effect was much better then I ever thourght it would look, please check the video to see for yourself.

In order to film it the camera was placed to look through one side of the clear arcylic box as I dropped different colour food dies into the water. I did multiple takes with different colour 1 red, 1 blue, 1 green and one take with many colours together. I then did a rough edit layering the videos together and put it all to some music.

I shot the video in 1080i and have uploaded a 720p version to vimeo, in order to watch it in HD you’ll have to head on over to the vimeo site. (links below)

Oil in a glass shot with a canon 450D DSLR

A test video of oil poured into a glass, shot on a canon 450D DSLR using EOS Camera Movie Recorder. You can see me adjusting the focus at the start of the video. The sharpness is really good for a DSLR that isn’t ment for shooting video! This is made possible through exploiting live view on the video camera. The software (link below) captures every frame from live view through usb from the camera stright to your computer at 848 x 560. This resolution is pretty good for a video camera that lets you change lenes and have complete control over iso and aperture.

Software can be found here: valexvir.narod.ru

A few quick iphone photos of the setup I used.
