Time Warp – Smoky Old Fashioned

Every once in awhile I find the motivation, and patience, to make a time lapse video of a painting. I did this for Smoky Old Fashioned, but it was done over the course of numerous short painting sessions (1-2 hours), so it gets a bit frenetic at times with lighting and zoom variations. Tight cropping and good music are included so as to distract from the lack of cinematography talent.

I’ve learned a lot about the process and iterations artists have to endure to get a composition just right by watching time lapse videos. Having done a few of my own this year, I’ve learned they’re also a great way to capture how I did something and be able to return to it later as reference for future work that harnesses the same subject matter.

Enjoy!
