Today in Art 118 (time based Art) I will be unveiling my video. It was created in Photoshop by slowly erasing and re-drawing components, copying layers and exporting to jpeg. I limited each Photoshop file to 50 layers (frames) for a total of 12 files (600 layers). as I was working with an original picture measuring 17″ by 13″, the combined files weighed in at a whopping 10 gigabytes. I composed the original cut in iMovie before importing it into Premier to add the Titles, Credits and Soundtrack.

The dynamic music is my favorite cut from “Get Naked” by the Naked Picassos. The Hollywood, CA band is fronted by my brother, William Clausen, and was voted one of the top bands on the Hollywood circuit.

• William Clausen – Lead Song Writer and Vocals, Bass, Guitar
