Post Production: Scribbling Effect




This is the first time-lapse of recording the process of creating the 'scribble' effect. A lot of the minor scribbles, where there were not many frames in series to create the scribbles, are done for the first instrumental section. If you watch the part where it says the name of the artist, 'Zhu', it shows the process quite clearly. A lot of the work is in repetition.


Initially, we learnt how to create scribbles through this video:



The video explained how to create scribbles in Premiere, however we found another video that showed how it could be done in Photoshop:


We found Photoshop would be easier to work with, as we have more experience in Photoshop in terms of digital art, and also for the scribbles we thought it would be more flexible.

As mentioned earlier before, this was mostly inspired by Jack U's music video for Take U There:


We found that creating scribbles was time consuming, so we decided not to go as much as the animations in Take U There.


Second scribble process.

One of the references we wanted to add is 'nice one feed me'. This is a reference within the electronic music scene's culture. An artist called Marshmello has been getting attention recently, and one of his iconic features is  his mask, so his face has never had an official reveal, similarly to Daft Punk. However, there is a Snapchat story circulating coming from an artist called Feed Me, and in the snap there is a reflection of what most likely seems to be Marshmello's real face. The phrase 'nice one feed me' is a joke, as Marshmello's identity has been speculated since 2016, however this snap has ended the speculation, attention and potentially exposure Marshmello has been getting recently.

We have also included a reference to one of our inspirations, an artist named Getter. What makes his music videos iconic is the use of an art form called grime art. This can be seen on Getter's music video Headsplitter:

This series of scribbles include mostly working on hair animations as seen from Jack U's music video of Take U There.
