Orange Cat Mermaid – Collage Process Video
Artist Gianna Pergamo’s first collage time lapse video is ready to watch!
Yay! After several weeks of videoing myself collaging, I have my first video that I am happy with! This is a few hours of collaging condensed to a little more than a minute! The video is me making an orange cat mermaid. I made it from photocopies of photographs of koi fish and kittens.
There’s no voice over, so here is what you are seeing in the video (note: there were even more steps in the collaging process, but I had to cut some things for brevity):
- Cutting out koi fish
- Taping in place kitten body
- Collaging pieces of the fish together to make a mermaid tail
- Drawing where I need to cut on the kitten
- Cutting the kitten body to fit the mermaid tail
- Attaching the body
- Attaching new arms for the kitten
- Cutting new arms to fit the kitten body
- Not shown: Re-photocopying the cat mermaid
- Painting black and white on the cat mermaid
- Cutting out the cat mermaid
- Painting the cat mermaid with acrylic paint
- Using watercolor pencil on the cat mermaid
If you enjoyed that video, please subscribe to my YouTube channel! I will be starting to put out new videos regularly, now that I’ve figured out how to do it!
