Van Gogh's Paintings Get Tilt-Shifted (12 pics) After seeing how tilt-shift photography could make real world scenes appear like miniature models, Serena Malyon, a third-year art student, decided to simulate the effect on Van Gogh's famous paintings. Using Photoshop, she manipulated the light and adjusted the focus to make us see these paintings in ways we could have never imagined. Amazingly, nothing in these paintings was changed, added or removed. The incredible illusions are all created by the magic of Photoshop. Update: Recently, I was able to get in touch with Serena to ask her how she came up with this idea. Read that interview below. How did the idea come about to tilt-shift Van Gogh's paintings?
Were you surprised by the reaction it received? Why did you choose Van Gogh's paintings to tilt-shift? His work was also really interesting because his paintings include a number of interesting details that we could focus in on and make that the centerpiece of the painting. Do you have plans to tilt-shift other paintings? In Bb 2.0 - a collaborative music/spoken word project. Scribbler :: the original version :: zefrank. Cool Optical Illusion, Bro!

Jamboree is a further exploration of this space by breaking patterning wheel forms out of the plane of motion. I built two large wheels with arc shaped spokes that ballooned outward. My goal was to create motion patterns that changed as the viewer changed perspective. I sketched up the idea on the Mac using Adobe Illustrator and then converted those drawings to 3D and animated them using a program called Strata Design 3D. The actual construction of the wheels turned out to be quite a challenge. I was thrilled to find that the virtual and real worlds yielded the same results.
