Paint-on-Glass Animation
ペイント・オン・グラス・アニメーション / 1940s– / Technique / Animation Techniques
Paint-on-glass animation adds and removes slow-drying paint on one pane beneath a camera. It does not replace one finished drawing with another: brush marks, wiped traces and mixed color accumulate as a continuous history on the same surface.
Contours pushed by brush and finger into the next form / The previous image lingering as stains and streaks / Opaque masses beside translucent wiped passages / The whole field transforming fluidly instead of cutting
Dictionary entry
- Best used for
- Showing memory or emotional change as transformation within one image · Using painterly marks as time-bearing material in music film rather than as static texture
- Type
- Keep long copy on a separate layer; if words are painted, reveal and erase them one at a time at the painting's pace.
- Composition
- Retain one focal trace while wiping the surroundings into the next scene. Reduce returns to a completely blank frame.
- Material
- Put slow-drying oil paint or gouache on glass and add or subtract it with brush, finger and cloth beneath locked camera and light.
- Caution
- Morphing between finished digital paintings is different. Each frame should carry the actual history of wet paint added to and removed from one surface.
