Painting The Movies
This is a study project I did over the last few weeks. I try to understand color better and copy movie frames and news images. I do not use the color picker, but rather guess and estimate the colors. What is the value structure of an image? How saturated are elements? I am interested in how colors relate to the overall geometrical composition and the fact that color and geometry are closely interacting. How to translate experienced reality, but also the artifice of lighting and photography into the humble color picker of the painting software.
Movies featured here: Playtime (1967) by Jaques Tati, Stalker (1979), All Quiet On The Western Front (2022), Compartment Number 6 (2021) and Soylent Green (1973).
If you have a film project in pre-development, I'd be happy to talk to you about storyboarding and keyframe design.
