The Art of Motion Painting

Italian mural and graffiti artist, Blu, and David Ellis, an American mural artist who specializes in digital time-lapse animation Ellis calls motion painting, have created something pretty awe-inspiring. This short film, COMBO, took approximately 10 days to shoot, anchored by Italy's 2009 Fame Festival, a gathering of international artists, sponsored and produced by Studio Cromie. The idea behind Fame Festival is to host artists for weeks at a time, with everything from paint and clay, to dilapidated walls, local artists, and a production company at their fingertips. The finale includes a full-scale exhibition of all works created, including the following piece, COMBO.
