Last week I spent the day playing with Glycerol, drawing inks and acrylic paint again. After the test shoot the day was much more methodical, although it was still difficult to predict what would happen with the different mixtures I had broad ideas about how to get as many shots from one tank as possible, the acrylic was always the last to go in as it quickly fogs the whole tank.

One of the changes from the test shoot was moving the light further from the tank (as far as we courgette it in the studio) and moving the improvised flag closer to the tank. This gave sone really useful control to how the tanks was illuminated, we were often able to create a thin shaft of light that highlights part of the tanks contents.

Another change was the use of a slider to create some dynamic but stable movement whilst the contents of the tank are moving very slowly.

It was essential having a crew helping out, it would have been impossible to achieve without a few other skilled hands on board.
