Gun powder art: how to use YouTube to promote your art
First of all, painting with gunpowder and lighting it is ridiculously dangerous, so don't try this at home. With that said, there are several gunpowder art videos on YouTube. I picked this one by Danny Shervin as an example, because he does a really good job of making an interesting, time lapse video. The board stays in one place, and he shows you the brushes and tools he uses real quick in the beginning. Then you get to see him outline and do the detail work, which flows quick with the time lapse video.
I imagine one important aspect of painting with gunpowder is not to sneeze while you're doing it. Man, that would suck. Anyhow, after the sped up footage making the video, he lights it, which looks like it happens in real time. Gunpowder and fire, let's face it, it just looks really cool as it burns, and it actually burns the image into the wood as I understand it.
Whatever kind of art you do, a well made time lapse video on YouTube, that you can then share in other media, is a great way to show other people what you do and how you do it. The video is only part of the picture. You need to also build a community online to actually watch your videos, that's another aspect I'll write more about in later posts.
