You don't just watch a video. You feel it.
That's what texture does.
I've been experimenting with tactile motion lately - grainy film stocks, fabric weaves, paper fibers, liquid surfaces. Not because it looks cool, but because it triggers something deeper.
When you see rough canvas texture moving across the screen, your brain remembers what canvas feels like. Suddenly, the video isn't just visual anymore. It's sensory.
Smooth glass feels cold and precise. Gritty textures feel raw and honest. Soft fabric feels warm and human.
We're so focused on frame rates and color grading that we forget: our audience has hands. They've touched things. And texture in motion speaks directly to that experience.
