Morphing video art

In my ongoing endeavor to search out the nicks and crannies of digital art, a YouTube search uncovered morphing, a technique that I would have thought abandoned years ago. Not so! Artists have done and are doing interesting things. Here is one of the best of video morphs.

This video is based on female portraits in western art over a 500 year history. The music is Bach's Sarabande from Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007 performed by Yo-Yo Ma. It was nominated Most Creative Video 2007 YouTube Awards.

I played with morphing software years ago. Not to any purposeful effect. I can only suggest that the artist, Philip Scott Johnson, scanned these portaits into his computer, then took immaculate care, patience and precision to seamlessly morph the portraits. It runs for almost three minutes.


Kyra: a digital movie

I once went to film school but it didn't take, so as an artist I have had to rely on still art ever since (mostly). And digital art remains almost entirely still art, as a review of the MOCA site will reveal. But maybe that's changing. Here's a piece of movie art that makes me almost wish that I had stayed with my original inspiration.

A virtual actress with emotions

Read what Jean Lafleur, the producer, says about Kyra and see the movie here:
