Surge, Dec 3, 2023, at Fitzgeralds Bar and Live Music Venue With Bat Allison, MODERN and Scotti Fraser Band.
Some of this was shot by me with a Sony Camera and edited with a mixture of Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere. The Surge footage was shot by someone else.
This is the lyrics to the old Van Morrison song, “Cleaning Windows”
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street Got in my nose As we carried our ladders down the street With the wrought-iron gate rows I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers In my lunch-break Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner And went straight back to work
[Verse 2] Oh, Sam was up on top And I was on the bottom with the V We went for lemonade and Paris buns At the shop and broke for tea I collected from the lady and I cleaned the fanlight Inside-out I was blowing saxophone on the weekend In that down joint
What’s my line? I’m happy cleaning windows Take my time I’ll see you when my love grows Baby don’t let it slide I’m a working man in my prime Cleanin’ windows
I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon On the street where I was born, yeah Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and Muddy Waters singin’ “I’m A Rolling Stone” I went home And read my Christmas Humphreys’ book on Zen Curiosity killed the cat Kerouac’s “Dharma Bums” and “On The Road”
[Chorus] What’s my line? I’m happy cleaning windows, hey Take my time I’ll see you when my love grows Baby, don’t let it slide I’m a working man in my prime Cleanin’ windows
Say again What’s my line? I’m happy cleaning windows Well, I take my time I’ll see you when my love grows Don’t let it slide I’m a working man in my prime Cleanin’ windows
[Outro] Alright, cleanin’ What’d you say number Number a-hundred and twenty-six Alright, we’ll be right tomorrow
One of my favorite old Beatles songs just got a new video and I love it.
Any thoughts on how they did this?
There is s a couple of ways it could have been done:
1) It is what it seems to be. Hundreds, if not thousands of individual oil paintings?
2) Someone using Adobe Photoshop and or Corel Painter “painted” over frames of stock footage of the Beatles and some imagery of their own. They created an empty layer over an image and used the digital mixer brushes to create the “oil painting” look. Then they duplicated THAT layer and then painted alterations over that one. And so on and so on…. That seems to be the most likely explanation as to how they did it. At least, that is how I would have done it. It would have taken a LONNNG time, but thats the way I think it could have been done.
3) could this have been done in Animate? It doesn’t look like something made with ANIMATE, but maybe there’s some advanced trick I don’t know about?
Any thoughts?
Is there some after effects plug-in or other technique you know to do that effect?
