This video uses a mathematical formula based upon an image Escher did called the "Print Gallery", now it's known in these days as the "Droste Effect".
This is my first videoclip as a Director, and it was made entirely using a Digital Reflex Camera, Canon's Mark III which captures up to 115 continuous pictures, at 10 fps.
As this was really low budget video, it was made possible thanks to the help of lots and lots of friends.
This video was "inspired" by the amazing pictures of Sebastian Perez Duarte (I mean that as an euphemism). I just wanted to add movement to those kind of images.
All of the image process was made in my home computer, thank's to Pisco Bandito/Josh Sommers' tutorials, and Bill Hornes code. A friend of mine, Chema "The Mecatronic", helped me automate all of the process.
This is the result of almost 6 months of work.
Soon I'll post the making off, hope you enjoy it.

  • FYI- Escher did not use this formula to create his one and only image that illustrates this effect (The print gallery). He drew the image without knowing he was illustrating a mathematical formula. Many years later, mathematicians at the University Leiden discovered that "The Print Gallery" could be recreated using mathematics involving complex numbers and the infinite imaginary plane. They subsequently wrote an article that formed the basis for the mathmap formula that I made public on flickr.

  • Thank's for telling. I just changed the description. Done!
