A digital scan of hand-painted 16mm film used to color several scenes in the short film I, Destini. The video shows abstract, broad brush strokes and droplets of paint moving across the screen. It starts out with the colors moving in a slow, liquid-like motion. Toward the end, the colors become deeper, denser and flow across the screen faster.
