Lens Whacking Peccha Kucha


Last week Persistent Productions was given the opportunity to speak at Pecha Kucha 20x20 night in Singapore. The organizers approached us and asked us what we would want to talk about in the space of media and story telling - and being the continual experimenter that I am - I chose Lens Whacking.


For those of you who have never heard of this, it's a technique used in video that adds certain lighting elements to your videos. Below is the example that I created for the event.






But not only did I talk about Lens Whacking in general, I also unveiled the very first, full HD Lens Whacking system


It was a very fun event, full of laughs, hooting and hollering due to the rather inuendoe'd speech that I gave in front of 200 plus strangers, as I talked about 'how I liked to whack it'. In the end, I hope most people saw the humor in what I was trying to put out there in addition to a technique that I believe, when used correctly, can really add interesting elements to a scene.
