Bigger than us
I posted the painting earlier. This is the video layer made for AR but because I suspect it works best on a larger screen than most phones can offer it’s here in its own right. (c) SCH 2025 Continue reading Bigger than us

Why we need space travel
This is part of the NEO (near-earth object) series. In this case, I used a photo to imagine the early atmospheric and gravitational disturbances an NEO might produce. Disclaimer: my knowledge comes mostly from science fiction, much of which is … Continue reading Why we need space travel
Fish on a Fence
A very widescreen virtual TV showing that fish again. It’s an example of what you can do with a photo, some green paint, and a video editing suite. The insectoid creature in the centre must be me emerging from my … Continue reading Fish on a Fence
Some things are bigger than us
Original painting animated in MotionLeap and PowerDirector to form the augmented reality layer. Here’s the painting – download the Artivive app and give it a go! This is an artefact detected by bio-marker search looking for trace materials following historical observation of a planetary system in the region. It was automatically retrieved and delivered to an inspection plate in the isolation lab. Initial inspection suggests it is a construction, non-organic in itself but with traces. There are signs of critical damage. Re-aligning the inspection plate and boosting magnification shows there are protrusions that bear comparison with our own long range … Continue reading Some things are bigger than us

Exhibition in the wild – Artivive in an underpass
Green screen
Film makers do it regularly but this week everyone’s been doing it, thanks to Matthew Highton sharing his pre-greened clip of Boris (Johnson, who else?) looking lost at a meeting. I’ve never used green screen and I had no idea where to start but a quick search of YouTube, relating in particular to Filmora Pro which is the video editing app I use, I found an idiot’s guide which talked me through the process. This not only made it possible to put together the video I had in mind but also made clear that I’m no nearer knowing how to … Continue reading Green screen
On a mission!
Not sure if I’ll succeed but I’m aiming to have everything I show at the forthcoming Steyning Arts art trail fully Artivive-enabled. That means making videos for each of the pieces of work – pertinent ones that add something to the original – setting the videos up alongside their target image on the Artivive bridge, then making sure they scan via the app. After that, I can make cards or posters – table mats if I fancy it – and the app will bring up the video. Well, as long as there aren’t blobs of tomato ketchup in the way! … Continue reading On a mission!
“The Art Market is a Scam”
We knew that though, didn’t we? Get yourself ‘adopted’ by a gallery or a collector and your work will sky rocket in price. You might have to be dead though, which would at least mean you weren’t kept on a … Continue reading “The Art Market is a Scam”
Filmora Pro – video tutorials by fast talking fellas
I use a couple of apps to make animations based on original art work. One is MotionLeap which lives in my iPad and has a range of presets you can adjust to your own requirements; and the other is Filmora … Continue reading Filmora Pro – video tutorials by fast talking fellas
