What happens when print grain learns to move?
For this one, I took concert footage and turned it into a halftone motion piece - pulling frames from an artist mid-performance into a scrapbook-style compilation, with that classic dot-pattern texture layered across each one. There's something about halftone that feels so analog, so tactile, and I wanted to see if that texture could hold up in motion.
Process: 👉🏻 Sourced frames from my concert footage 👉🏻 Applied a halftone treatment to each one 👉🏻Aimed for a stop-motion style, frame by frame, letting the texture build alongside the movement
Halftone feels like a small rebellion - grainy, imperfect, hand-made (or at least made to look that way).
