Speed Painting Video

[barumba]

I was killing a bit of time over on dought net and tripped across this. Have a look, this guy knows how to showcase a car. About 6:45 of your time to spend. In real time, he said it took about 30 hours.

Pretty cool.

That is a major cool video, and one hell of a paint job.  I learned first hand how come it is that I will never make it as a painter - I lack vision.  I doubt that I would ever have seen the need for the start that he made from the end that he attained.

However, there is much to learn from that video, I think.  And I have some questions that someone with more painting knowledge may be able to help me with.

The first question is...

It looks as though he is using the clipboard and Copy / Paste quite a bit in places where using the Stamp function would have served.  Is this the case.  It will help me understand the seqence of events to know.

I need to watch is some more.  There is one place in the video where the guy lays down a whole handfull of black circles, and I never did see what he was doing with them.

Anyhow...  good find.  Thanks for posting Barumba.

I must admit that I get the impression that this is more a promotional video than actually showing how it's created. Some of the small logos appear to need placements which are finer than possible with the Forza painting kit. I suspect those logos are actually uploaded vinyls (although for him to deconstruct them they must be his own work).

I believe that this video has been created by removing the layers individually from the finished product, one layer at a time. The frames are then put together in reverse order. Doubtless one of the painters will correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get.

Actually that's a good point.  It'd be a ton more work intensive to do it any other way.

Either way, its a pretty powerful look into the editor.

Also all those black circles are used for shading, I think he pulled off a drop shadow style effect with them.
