How do these infinite painting zoom videos work?

351 viewsOtherTechnology

I saw a couple videos where someone continuously zoomed into a digitally painted picture. For example it starts on a beach and it zooms onto a phone on the sand and then you see a house with lots of rooms and it zooms further into another world and so on and on.
How do these work?

It literally is just a giant canvas. The artists starts at either end and simply zooms in/out and draws another image, and rinse and repeat.

It takes a lot of time and no doubt multiple takes to film the artist going thru their artwork as they have to memorize where they drew. I’ve seen one artist who makes something akin to lyric videos, so each drawing is representing a frame and they zoom in as the song plays.

It’s usually one of a few app, they allow you to draw not in pixels but in vectors (so there is no “size” and you can draw as tiny/large as you want), so the canvas is essentially infinite. If you could print one of them out, the size (if wanting the most zoomed in part to be clear) would be the size of a football field or larger.
