Continuing my research into spontaneous line squiggles!
Three short clips each containing a quick doodle drawn with acrylic paint markers using the simple rules:
• Unplanned (no forethought)
• Spontaneous/random (wherever the marker tip leads me)
• Continuous (no stopping)
An initial 1-second duration doodle is captured in super slow-motion. I do this with a single deep breathe so that my hand is relaxed during the movement. You may notice here and there that I subtly roll the barrel of the marker to adjust my angle of attack.
This is immediately followed by a time-lapse segment within textures are quickly developed that relate in some way to the neighboring lines. But no thought is given to making the shapes "look like anything".
I've added some music tracks to these three clips which I created using the GarageBand toolbox.
I hope you find this a nice diversion and perhaps relaxing...
My brain had no time to consciously "steer" the paint marker other than to do a series of loops and zig-zags in a quick burst of movement. The main thing was to maintain contact with the paper subtrate... keeping the flow continuous for the duration of a single breath.
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 about 20 seconds but compressed by the time-lapse into just several seconds.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this... but I find it interesting what the brain comes up with allowed to be spontaneous.
