    Plastic Reality Masterclass Title

    What I then needed to do was create a way of placing the video in the environments we had created. I did this by using the nudes to hold a frame within which the video could be placed. In keeping with the psychedelic look I made the frame out of moving dots. By mixing my nudes and the shape of my dots I was able to create several interesting looking frames.

    You can then see how I was able to incorporate video with some highly stylised graphics.
    Below you can see the video on it's own -then the dots ----then the nudes with a blank canvas.
    The two cells underneath show what it looks like when you put them all together.

     IN SUMMARY 

    I hope the above has been some use in seeing how to create material. It is usually a case of putting elements together rather than creating a whole piece in one go. I would say, think strongly about your theme. Think about 3 or 4 elements that represent that theme. Do not rely on filters making everything look ok for you. Filters are not in themselves creative, the creativity is knowing when to apply them.
