One film that appears absolutely mesmerising in conception and execution is currently being constructed depicting Van Gough’s life and works called Loving Vincent… what – appears to be a form of docudrama.
Upon completion, the entire film will be a painted masterpiece featuring a framerate of 12 paintings per second with 120 of Van Gough’s own painting being incorporated into the film… For the first fully painted film, the artists pull no stops by emulating his unique style of post-Impressionist era oil-canvas painting led by a team of 85 dedicated artists partially funded by a Kickstarter campaign.
Since it’s public showcase in February 2016 I haven’t heard much else about how production is going – but I look forward to following up on it as time goes by.
