“Sakura” (さくら) Hanami – A very old Japanese custom, to admire the cherry blossoms. Every year, from March to May, people go out to contemplate sakura. Every season repeat. And if you miss it, it will be next year… In the beginning of March, when the first cherry trees started blooming, I was in Tokyo. During this difficult time we are all living, I couldn't enjoy it and had to change my plans to come back early for the quarantine. But I brought back a lot of memories... and some videos. Very often people asked me to show the process, how I’m working. So here are some behind the scene shots from the studio in Tokyo. With the virtual reality headset, I draw on the computer. Inside, it feels like you are in 3d space, where you can create volumes with different brushes. This why I called it “volumism”. To make mixed reality videos, I use a green screen and two synchronized cameras: a real camera and a virtual one (positioned with a tracker). I use a video mixing program (OBS studio) to unit everything together. Then comes the post production: montage/song. Sometimes, it can take up to one week to make a video of just one minute. I worked and studied as a traditional and digital artist, I've adapted my skills to this new medium. How difficult is it to do it? Same as traditional painting, or music, or sport. Everyone can do it. The result will depends on how much time you spend on it, how hard you work, like all disciplines. But it all starts with an idea ? Be strong! Don’t give up , keep the moral! Pick up an idea! Cook, sing, draw, make strange videos, yoga, meditation... Keep going! And if there's something you couldn't do this season, you will do it the next! #vr #art #virtualreality ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjk4S7iudwM

You are my warm souvenirs. You've taught me and tortured me. You gave me the best and the worst. You insisted that I'd be strong, to adapt, to forgive, to keep going forward. You've shown me that losing is also winning, that everything changes and goes away. You've taught me to believe, to ask, to be human. It's a hard work. I miss you as any emigrant after 15 years without you. #virtualreality #art #vr #painting Follow my virtual reality art: Twitter ► https://twitter.com/AnnaDreamBrush Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/annadreambrush/ Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/annadreambrush/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pijO5vH9Ojc
