The footage then can be used for the implementation of the project as a second layer with 50% transparency put on the 50% transparent layer of a live stream video.
Materials required for shooting the spray video:
- camera
- paint spray (red paint was used)
- glass/transparent plastic cover to put in front of the camera (I used transparent plastic taken from a picture frame)
- light source (I chose a floor lamp with a bulb with flexible cord, so that it can be directed and adjusted under the suitable angle)
- light source strength regulator (I used foil to cover the lamp and made holes to allow enough quantity of light to come out)
The transparent plastic cover was installed on a chair, it was kept vertically with the help of strings (attaching it to the ceiling luminaire which can be pulled down) and scotch tape (attaching it to the floor lamp's pole). Because of the material used for the cover, this construction was quite reliable as the cover was not heavy as the glass could be.
The first 3 times of spraying paint were tests and helped me to adjust the light and find the best place and way to spray, e.g. my hand should be covered with dark clothe to minimize the presence of other things besides the can when it comes close and becomes lightened. Each time the paint should be washed off.
The result turned out to be quite good, especially when I adjust the color settings in the video editing software, so the can and paint became more bright, but the rest was still dark.
Photo of the set up, the transparent cover is not visible enough here, but it is placed on the side of the chair, camera was placed on the books, the reflecting shiny parts of it were covered with dark material
