This is the HDR Version of CHROMA GALAXIES.

CHROMA GALAXIES is the total of my expertise in designing landscapes and otherworldly sceneries with paint. Following the script of creativeblack from Giantstep, I shot a total of almost 35 Terabytes in 8K Raw Video over a period of 8 months, including the complete set of inks and fluids, macro lenses, lights and motion control. All scenes were created on paper.

The visuals are accompanied by a composition from Tristan Barton. Find out more about his outstanding work here: https://www.tristanbartonmusic.com/

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…
