We were asked to create several bodypaintings for Matt Mangigians’ experimental film, ‘Synaesthesia’. Our final scene was based around the color blue and water. After going through about five different concepts we decided to paint something a little different than just blue water on the body. This time we created a 3D illusion that places water inside the model! Pictured below is our model, Gabrielle Veneziani, and Niagara Falls pouring out of a giant Narnia style hole in her body.

Matt is a frequent Bodypaint.Me videographer and good friend so when he asked us to collaborate we were more than happy to work on one of his many upcoming projects. He recently produced our Glow Garden, Zombie Garden and Lotus NYE videos. If you haven’t seen them yet click the links and have a look!
