This is a video of an acrylic pour – an artistic technique which uses a mixture of fluid acrylic paints thickened with a pouring medium known as GAC 800 (made up of an acrylic co-polymer) and, in this case, Floetrol latex paint additive and silicone lubricant oil used to alter viscosity and increase the formation of “cells” — circles of different paint colors bordered by medium with a lower viscosity level.

I really like this flow. The video is really well done, the shots are great and they are edited together well.
This came out beautifully! very impressive and shifting the focus of the camera made it even more interesting
I love your color choices and choice to show the mixing process and addition of all the ingredients. The process informs the flow but also provides a nice reference of how one could recreate it. Good job, beautiful results!!
Amazing colors! The music pairs so well, and the flow is clearly shown. Great focus, and I like the depth of field.
It was really nice. It captured an everyday phenomena in a different way than we usually think about it. It looked like everything was surface-driven flow. Some nice coiling can be observed around 1:03. There’s lot of really nice dynamics happening when the board is being tilted and poured.
Awesome video. Love seeing all of the steps. There’s interesting stuff going on in each one. Cinematography and the accompanying music are both great and work well together. Seeing the excess spillage that ran off of the canvas was cool too. Great work.
Music definitely enhances the video. Great video editing. Beautiful colors.
This is a really cool video. The music goes really well with the funky and free art style. The physics of the flow was clearly visible and the overall art piece came out looking great!
Cool variety of flows. The camera work is fantastic. The flow is clear and in focus.
Great video, the editing and music work very nicely together and the flow is clearly visible. Definitely exudes an upbeat and optimistic mood. I would consider using longer shots to show more of the evolution of the flow, but that might clash with your upbeat music.
This is an awesome video. The colors are great and you can certainly see the flow in this image. The music pairs really well with the video that you have. Excellent work!
This is beautiful flow visualization. Great lighting and perspective. The music really adds to the video.
Really cool, the depth of field and lighting is perfectly executed. I liked the fact that you showed the setup of the experiment.
Very well edited and I like the music choice. Cool example of this experiment.
Music really adds to the video. Great editing and setup. Beautiful colors as well.
The overall composition of the video is well done, the music plays in well. The flow was really interesting, and the color was very vibrant!
This is a really well put together video, the music adds a good element to the video. It goes well will the colors and the flow occurring.
Great video editing skills, you’ve really exhibited the flow of the fluid in each shot. The steps were clear and sequenced well. Great focus and contrast.
music really adds to the video of the flow. The colors are nice too.
Excellent video, love that you included the process. The music made me so happy! I think you should spend a little more time looking at flow – basically extend the clip of the flow at the end; you have the room for it, the music isn’t too short or anything.
Amazing video composition regarding the music selection and angle used for capturing the flow. The experiment you chose was really interesting and had a great aesthetic appeal.
The flow is very interesting. I also like the upbeat music with the video, it makes it really fun.
Awesome video! The editing of the video wasn’t nicely done. The music paired really well. Great job!
Great video, I like the way you recorded the whole process and the music selection is excellent. The video is well composed and nice editing.
I like the colors you chose for the flow. The video feels a bit like a how-to video rather than an artistic video, but if that is the feel you were going for then it worked. Nice depth of field and focus in the video.
Very cool flow! I loved the colors and the ways the different layers interacted. The video was well edited and the music fit well with what we were seeing.
This video is really well done. The music really adds to the motion and the flow. The colors are really pretty and the flow is beautiful.
Beautiful. I like that you refocused during a middle scene to see all aspects of the flow. Great colors and great execution.
I like the intent of this video. It really shows more of the process which I thought was very interesting. The colors are very vibrant.
Really fun video and idea! I love the different fluid flows you were able to see throughout the video. I wouldn’t change anything, really well done.
Fantastic video editing. I really like the use of color and the fluid flow. Also, great music choice. Nothing I would change.
Really coo! I like how you filmed the whole process and chose jumpy music! Although I rarely saw a clip looking straight at the pour, it was really cool how you captured what happened beyond the bounds of the canvas. There is a minute of black at the end too.
Interesting premise and great execution. The set up was not distracting and edited well and the shifting focus of the camera was a nice touch.
