A remastered version of my short macro film Velocity in HDR and Dolby Vision (4K) Stuff Pick on Vimeo Idea of creating this film came from observed similarity between glittery ink and cosmos. During the last two films I couldn’t shake the feeling that sparkling glitter with dark ink backgrounds on one hand and colourful pigments on the other reminded me of a distant galaxies, galactic clouds, nebulas and other cosmic bodies. Vast space of the universe, close ups of “fast moving” near galactic bodies as well as explosions of stars, - all that I’ve tried to portray in a new experimental film. Instead of facing camera at -90º angle and creating edge-to-edge sharp images, this time I decided to tilt the camera slightly and so, in combination with awesome Irix 150mm f2.8 macro lens, at widest aperture, I was able achieved a shallow depth of field to the image. I my mind this somehow conveyed the feeling that you are shooting objects at great distances or super close to you, like it would be if you shot in space. The big role in this project played by an amazing set designer Luidmila Tregub, who spent countless hours creating right mixture of the different inks, alcohol, soaps etc, which not only looked amazing, but also provided correct motion of the substance. This film would never be possible without her. As in previous two films, she’d used pigments, different inks, alcohol, soaps, and other mixtures for creating liquid art of flow and movements. I used Canon EOS R5, shooting 8K RAW, which allowed me to have more creative freedom to color correct and grade the final film. A new manual macro 150mm lens f/2.8 from Irix I’ve used on this project allowed me to shoot awesome bokeh and sharp center. Davince resolve 17 has been used to edit and post-process this short film and the After Effect - for some minor fixes and creating titles and credits.
