VIDEO: LOVING VINCENT, THE WORLD'S FIRST FULLY PAINTED MOVIE DEBUTS IN LONDON!

LOVING VINCENT, is the world first painted movie. The story-line is one that explores the life and times of one of the World's most famous painters Vincent Van Gogh, whose unique style of painting greatly influenced the history of Western Art. The movie which is an escape from the world's digital animation and computer generated imagery; instead, the brains behind this first-of-its-kind project, Oscar wining director Hugh Welshman and his painter/animator wife Dorota Kobiela, assembled 124 painters from around the world to paint 64,000 frames on more than a thousand canvasses in order to tell the story of the tortured life and mysterious death of the Dutch Post-Impressionist Painter Vincent Van Gogh.

The painstaking project saw thousands of artists from around the world apply to work on the film, but over the cause of the 3 day auditions, only 124 expert painters were chosen; those chosen were versed in Van Gogh's own techniques. Welshman had the following to say on the ingenuity of his project "wanted to tell the story of Vincent's life through his own work and painting the film was the only way to do justice to one of the world's greatest artists. I've done a lot of computer animation and if I thought I could get the same effect in another way I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of finding 124 painters in three different countries, setting up three studios to achieve this and do it so painstakingly by hand. They actually move each brush stroke frame by frame, we have definitely, without a doubt, invented the slowest way of film making ever devised in 120 years!" He concluded.

Loving Vincent is more like a platform where the artist's paint brush with each stroke, brings to life the actor and the painter in symbiotic force, one which makes you feel that human touch as if its almost alive.
