This Mind-Bending Video Was Created Using Paint, Oil, and Liquid Soap

Artistic filmmaker Thomas Blanchard is back with another mesmerizing experimental video, combining forces with Oilhack to create this otherworldly 2 minute film.

Blanchard has spent years perfecting the art of mixing paints, oils, and other liquids to create these alternate universes. Filmed with a macro lens and mixed with an ethereal soundtrack by Velvet Coffee, the result is captivating.

Blanchard developed a new process to “open” his paints for this film, which he considers his best, as he told PetaPixel:

« Galaxy gates » is the pride of our collection. It is the result of a 4 months long job. Due to the very high selection standards, less than 2% of the shots taken were used to create this immersive video. First, paints are mixed, then they are “opened”, a specific process that we have worked out while on a trip in Japan. “GALAXY GATES” is an experimental dreamlike video rocking us smoothly through circular moves. The visual compositions have been created out of paint, oil and soap liquid.
