Many significant films were inspired by works of art or even entire artistic eras. In the project “Painting Movies - Moving Paintings”, Holger Rada investigated how visual art and film have a mutual effect on each other and how painting styles can be transferred to film images. Holger Rada researches at the University of Applied Sciences about the relationships between painting and film.
On the basis of ten exemplary film clips, the designer shows how the bizarrely distorted stage design in Robert Wiene’s “The Cabinet of Dr Caligari” is influenced by expressionist cityscapes, or how Sergei Eisenstein focused on the ideas of Cubism and Constructivism in “Battleship Potemkin”. In addition to the development of common stylistic features, the relationships between painting and film are directly visualized by transferring the painting style of the corresponding image to the cinematic sequence.
The act of painting over motion picture footage is a relatively old technique. The so-called Rotoscope techniques are used in a variety of fields aside from film production, post-production and film title design, such as advertising and music video production, for example. With the aid of painting the sensual, emotional and aesthetic possibilities of the cinematic representation can be extended. New are automatic techniques using a neural algorithm developed by researchers at the University of Tuebingen, Germany.
In his project, Rada also goes the opposite way. In addition to painting films, he has explored the possibilities of animating paintings. Animated artworks can be used for advertising and marketing purposes. They can help understand or interpret pictures, enhance their mood, provide details on context, or even tell stories.
Under the slogan “Moving Paintings”, Rada introduces four artworks by Vincent van Gogh, Edward Hopper, Frida Kahlo, and Francisco de Goya as animated paintings, showing both application possibilities and possibilities for technical implementation.
