Time-lapsed illustration
Friday, July 11, 2008
Here’s the illustration I created for The Box Salon, and you can view the time-lapsed creation below. The inking stage turned out a little blurry after uploading it to Vimeo, so I clearly need to tinker with my compression settings next time.

David says:
Great vid!
Small correction: the link under your video reads “Timpe Lapsed”.
Can’t wait to see more of these, (videos, not typos).
Barry Edwards says:
GodDAMMIT that was good. Ok, I’m just hyperventilating a bit, because of the musical and photoshoppering inspiration. Thanks. More please? That’s right, Herr Martz, we need more video!
Jessie says:
Your video is AMAZING!!! I just can’t get over how wonderfully talented you are. Keep up all the spectacular work… and thanks for sharing it with us!
Matt says:
The return of the two-headed cat!
And I love the brush you use on the bg. Feels very organic.
So much fun - Perfect music.
destinycreature says:
Nice video, very inspiring indeed. How did you record it though?
Johnny says:
Thanks everyone.
@destinycreature: I recorded it using SnapzPro (and my digital camera, for the inking), and then sped it up and added sound using iMovie.

yurg....those lightning fast hue changes made me sea-sick....bloorgh.
Wonderful stuff...are you inking on top of a printed sketch...or inking on a lighttable??
Chris says:
Cheers Johnny, that’s really useful...gonna have to sort out my Photoshop brushes…
Mitch Mortimer says:
This is great!
I wish all drawings could have a musical score attached to them.
Keep it up!

I really like what you’ve put together here. So you go from computer, to paper, back into the computer? Or, is the timeline of the video the opposite? I thought, normally, you’d go from paper to the computer?
Sorry if I’m a dolt.
