Video art #1 – morphing – Phillip Scott Johnson tribute.

Presenting ‘Women in art and film’ – mans appreciation of woman.

From the age of dawn, man has indulged the passion of art. From cave drawings – stone sculptures of the Greek Minoan and Roman empires, through the tapestry’s of biblical times and the masters of oil and watercolors. Pictorial editions of the holy bible and the Koran were emblazoned with colorful drawings.

There are many forms of art, including architecture and design. Photography is an art form which led to the invention of cinema. Technology has now enabled the practice of electronic art in the structure of softwares like Adobe photoshop and after effects.

Music is also a fine art and I feel blessed with the ability to visualize audio and graphical movements. Phillip Scott Johnson is an absolute master in the art of visual flow (morphing). Imagine the work involved in piecing the portraits and photographs together in the video above. Facial expressions and physique have to be matched in order for the scenes to marry into each other.

Digital software has made it possible but only the imagination and hard work of a master artist can create it.  Acknowledgment must also go to George Micheal and Virgin  records for the beautiful soundtrack “Safe”.
