A few moments from VU JADร‰ ๐ŸŽฅ๐ŸŒˆ created by @miamicolortheory on view every night throughout October on #TheBetsyOrb, 6โ€“11pm.

Toy cameras, stripes of color, Miami Beach lifeguard stationsโ€”photography, stop-motion and motion graphics come together in a colorful portrait of Miami.

VU JADร‰ brings the cityโ€™s colors, geometry, architecture, light and shadow into motion, inviting you to look again at the things you pass every day.

One of my favorite things about Miami Beachโ€™s iconic lifeguard stations is their incredible color. โค๏ธ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™

Those same colors run throughout VU JADร‰, my @miamicolortheory animated projection and kaleidoscopic portrait of Miami.

So grateful to @thebetsyhotel for bringing VU JADร‰ to The Orb.

Come see VU JADร‰ on The Betsy Orb every night throughout October, from 6โ€“11pm.

Art Deco in motion ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™

A stop-motion sequence from VU JADร‰, created from my @miamicolortheory images of Miami Beachโ€™s iconic Art Deco architecture on Ocean Driveโ€”including some of the vintage cars that are always parked out front. Printed, cut, arranged and animated frame by frame.

Grateful for the work of @mdpl1976 and all they do to preserve the architecture and character that make Miami Beach so special.

And a big thank you to @thebetsyhotel for giving VU JADร‰ such an incredible canvas!

On The Betsy Orb every night throughout October, 6โ€“11pm.

A little about how I created VU JADร‰, now playing on The Betsy Orb every night throughout October, from 6โ€“11pm in South Beach. โœ‚๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅš๐ŸŽž๏ธ

Much of VU JADร‰ starts with colorful Miami images Iโ€™ve shot over more than five years of Miami Color Theoryโ€”thousands of images that I organize by color, shape or subject.

For this sequence, which is all about looking up at corners, I printed the photographs, cut them up and arranged them over colored paper, then photographed, moved them, photographed againโ€”frame by frameโ€”to create the stop-motion animation.

The second sequence uses my photographs to create traditional motion graphics in editing softwareโ€”repeating, layering and animating the images digitally.

No AIโ€”just photography, scissors, stop-motion and motion graphics.

A shoutout to the talented mural artists whose work appears on some of these corners, including @rrstudiosmiami @chalkandbrush @1010zzz @jessieandkatey ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽจ 

And of course, thank you to my motion graphics + editing collaborators Natassja Nunez of memory factory and Orrin Zucker @ozonetv , and a big thank you to @davidsinopoli for the music! 

Special thanks to @thebetsyhotel for giving VU JADร‰ such an incredible canvas, and to @shulmandesign + Associates, who designed The Betsy Orb. ๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ™Œ

My new artwork, VU JADร‰, begins TONIGHT, Thursday, October 1, on #TheBetsyOrb!

VU JADร‰ is an animated projection and kaleidoscopic portrait of Miami, blending my photography, stop-motion animation, and motion design. The work brings the cityโ€™s colors, geometry, architecture, light, and shadow into motion.

Exploring how attention can change perception, VU JADร‰ invites you to look again and discover something new in what you pass every dayโ€”a reminder that beauty is everywhere.

Come experience VU JADร‰ in person every night throughout October, from 6โ€“11pm, at The Betsy Orb in South Beach (with music until 9pm)โ€”and follow @miamicolortheory for more clips and behind-the-scenes footage.

Soundtrack: Revolver 72 by Sinopoli (US), Maccabiiii & Pezlo MD.

Special thanks to The Betsy Hotel for bringing VU JADร‰ to the Orb, Natassja Nunez & Orrin Zucker for their editing and motion graphics collaborations, and David Sinopoli for the music!
