When I come to make Brush Stroke I would like to add an effect where Michael paints over the lens of the camera as though the lens is the canvas, in order to capture this effect I did some tests to see what the best way to do this was. These are the results.
This was with a sheet on acetate over the lens secured on with celotape. I think it worked well but the paint needs to be thicker or perhaps a different paint, this was oil paint.
This was a second attempt with acetate but as you can tell the acetate wasn't secure and as a result the illusion is broken, again the paint wasn't thick enough.
This was an attempt using cling film, it didn't really work, the application of the paint is good but there is way too much movement of the surface and as such there is no illusion because you easily notice that something has gone wrong.
This was the final attempt, for this one I used a sheet of glass and got my dad to hold it against the lens while I did the painting, this is by far the best of the lot and I think the best thing to do with regards to the paint is to use acrylic instead of oil as they are more translucent but stick better so it will give a better effect.
Just a side note these are in poor Gif former because I had trouble uploading to youtube so had to use Gif.
