J.R. Paint in Water Test Shots

Through creating some inital designs regarding the Mixmag Magazine advertisement, we evaluated that out of all the ideas the paint in water was the most cutting edge and unique idea that we could bring to our concept. A synoptic link was made through our original concept idea of the powdered paint fight, experimenting with various colours in a variety of different ways to allow our genre of music to be shown through the visuals. 

To create this effect i used a variety of different diluted paints which i could then transfer into the water through small pipettes. When this was done i filmed the paint entering the water so that i would be able to take a variety of different screenshots from the moving image when it has been imported onto the computer to allow myself more choice in what stage of the paint effect i use. this would be opposed to using photos that have been taken. 

As see in test shot one the paint is smooth flowing something that i wish to re-create when i actually create this effect. Then on test shot two the use of two colours created a nice mystical sort of effect, subsequently becoming more visually pleasing for an audience or client. However from what we have seen in these two test shots there will be changes that have to be made to the way in which i construct this 'design project'. For example, in the second test shot we see that the two test shots do not particularly go together that well and that they are slightly transparent in colour, to resolve this problem careful consideration will have to be taken into account in the choice of colours planning whether or not they go or not. Additionally to resolve the colour density problem a stronger dilution of paint to water will have to be created to make the colours stand out more within the water. Finally we see a third problem arising in the second test shot with the way in which the paint enters the water, this is due to the fact that there is no smooth motion within the paint, more or less a stuttered motion which creates a less effective visual image.
