Paul, as an architect I can take a blank piece of paper and design a building from scratch. I stare at your designs and wonder in amazement how you know what to put where!
Paul, I have a question for you on the photography side of the skill set. I know you mentioned wanting the gopro hero3 once upon a time; but have you tried using a tripod on a time delay for still photos and then cutting those together for in-process video? Or do you take real time video and then speed it up in post? I want to start shooting some videos of my paint process but would like your opinion on what has better results: real time video sped up, or time lapse stills stitched as a video.
+Donald McCaskill I use a tripod and still photos for my timelapse videos like this one http://youtu.be/myn7sNBPt24 Not only is it much higher resolution, but the file size is waaay more manageable. Imagine the file size of video recording 3+ hours, and then trying to slow it down, plus the time it would take to render it. That's a lot of memory and time.
However, for slow motion, like this posted video, more frames per second is a priority. So video works better. I like the GoPro 3 because it is capable of doing 120 fps at 720p (something like that) which is amazing. The file size is not much of an issue because you're taking a much smaller amount of footage and slowing it down.
Each clip in this video was originally no longer than 3 seconds.
Awesome. Thanks for the tips. For time delay, I am thinking either once every 30 seconds or once a minute. But that would make an hour paint job into only 120 frames though…. So 4-6 seconds of video total. Is that about what you would expect ?
The models you find are amazing…
Your airbrush work is crazy man, good job. Wanna design my next tattoo?

I take one picture every five seconds. Then I convert it into a 15 frame per second video. I usually end up with around 1-3 minute videos.
That makes sense. Hopefully I will have a video to post up soon to share the results. Thanks much for the head start !
…Love it, maybe one day we could do a live show with singing and dancing…
