I’ve mentioned before in data data data and in low fidelity documentation just how complex the ways in which some of the practical work in the studio might be documented and shared.
A while back I happened across a simple post-production technique called motion extraction by the YouTuber Posy. It made me think that it might be a way to reach towards just how much movement is going on when it seems like very little is happening.
My colleague Heinrich Escano is a video artist and was keen to have a go. Here’s a brief sample of Katye Coe practising our version of authentic movement in the studio:
What I find most interesting is how the body seems to start to shimmer when there is next to no movement happening. I find my attention drawn in very closely to those actions and stillnesses. It’s not precisely what I am imagining but it’s a good first test or prototype.
