An attempt to recreate Edward Hopper's world, in motion, capturing the look and feel of his paintings. Zero budget.

"Remember [Krishna's] early videos I posted, about the special effects produced when he was a kid? Now he has developed into an impressive talent. This film beautifully evokes Hopper." - Roger Ebert

[hancmuss]

is this a remake of a story? :S

[krishnashenoi93]

@hancmuss No, just a little thing I came up with, inspired by Hopper's paintings.

Soundtrack?

[krishnashenoi93]

@felixjacksonbambaboy "Parallel Timeline with Alternate Outcome" by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

how did you make this effect on the images?

[krishnashenoi93]

@lovelestartes Long story short, I obtained or created images of the backgrounds, paintings, over which I pasted the videos of myself and my friend (using something like the green screen or blue screen effect). Then, I added light and shadows on the backgrounds and the figures. Over all of this, I added a painting texture, with the cracks and everything.

I used Sony Vegas Pro. I imagine the same can be done, and perhaps pushed further, by means of Adobe After Effects.

An astonishing piece. Feel the glow.

I personally found it dull...maybe it was just over my head. I like Edward Hopper, though.

Thank you Roger Ebert for recommending this beautiful piece.
