Tracing (red and black fish holding still)

single channel video
2007

Tracing (red and black fish holding still) is part of a project in which I am mapping the undulating motions of jellyfish and other sea creatures using a video effect called motion tracking. Motion tracking allows you to create a motion “path” based on the location of a chosen point within your video image as it moves over the duration of the clip. By applying a paint effect to the resulting path, I generate a kind of tracing.
