Welcome to #01 of my Drawing Experiments Series
Each short clip contains a quick doodle drawn with the simple rules:
• Unplanned (no forethought)
• Spontaneous/random (wherever the pencil tip leeds me)
• Continuous (no stopping to think)
An initial 1-second duration doodle is captured in super slow-motion. This establishment or "birth" of the design is immediately followed by a time-lapse "adolescence" segment of textures and details developing very quickly without clear judgement or purpose.
The initial burst of "scribble" is no more than one second but is stretched to about 5 seconds in super slo-motion. In other words, my brain had no time to consciously "steer" the pencil other than to do a series of tightly-control loops or zig-zags in a quick burst of movement.
Upon seeing the resulting doodle, I set the cam to time-lapse mode for the second segment. Adding some random details/textures was done within 15 seconds but compressed by the time-lapse into about 3 seconds
I'm not sure where I'm going with this... but I find it interesting what the brain comes up with within the briefest of time periods. Like the way you can have a really intense dream within just minutes, right before you wake up!
