A "video view" of my painting "Metamorphosis (Angel) V"
Taking a video of a painting might not make much of a sense at first, but let me explain why it absolutely does. A perfect scan or photography of an original painting gives you the pure "image data" which is the content of the painting so to speak. It takes a lot of effort and expertise to get these photos/scans as clean as possible, in the best available resolution, without any reflections, color deviations and distortions. These images can be then used for reproductions in books and posters, limited Giclée Print editions, online galleries and so on. But what these images are lacking is the impression of the painting as an actual object and its interaction with the surrounding space; it's missing the third dimension! Now with a (moving) video camera you can share your "first person view" on the painting, your actual perception of the artwork as a real object in a real environment. Walking around the painting gives you almost a real-world experience rather then the extracted image data. You get an idea of the surface, the texture, the framing and the size of the painting in relation to the interior.
This short clip is not a very good example - it can be done better and I will try so next time. The footage has to be as smooth as possible, showing more of the environment. It's a good idea to use a camera gimbal or some sort of post production stabilization, shaking phone footage is useless.

Amazing! All the details, the texture! We lose so much over the digital copy we see on steemit, indeed!
I love this angel! She combines heaven and hell in perfect harmony, the true depiction of a woman's essence. She can give you light, power, bear a new life within her; but she can offer you a taste of hell, lust and dark desires and she can always open Hades gates if her soul's fury comes out.
Wonderful work! It's one of my favorites along with the False Enlightenment!
Thank you @ruth-girl for your inspiring interpretation!
very,VERY nice...the video does take you "inside" the work!
Thank you!
