MIDNIGHT (1)
The history behind making mirrors dates back to 1255, a time when artisans and makers of glass and flasks settled in a place known as Murano in Italy. This is where these mirrors were first made by Venetian glass makers. Murano artisans would collect trade secrets. Venetians joined them in such acts. Murano glass makers produced Venetian glass and this is what led to emergence of Venetian Mirrors. =========================== "MIDNIGHT (1)" draws inspiration from the original Venetian Mirrors. =========================== Programs used: Procreate, Zbrush, Cinema4d (+Octane), Ableton Live 11, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator =========================== audio & visuals by safehaven™️
