Monday Scoping

by Jack Pritchard

Hey! This post's a little over two years old now, so some of what's here might be out of date. Still worth a read, but if anything really matters to you, it's worth double-checking against a newer source too.

On a Sunday afternoon, I decided to pull the trigger and purchase a microscope that I can use my smartphone with. I then began experimenting with some of the small tubes that were included in the parcel. Upon using some shrimp eggs I found I could make a focus and de-focus effect whilst recording. After recording, I then uploaded the footage to my desktop computer and played around with some symmetry effects. After finding a loop I enjoyed, I then added a gradient map and it was complete.
