    Im looking closely at his videos, and I cant make sense of what he’s doing much less what program is capable of doing it. Its like he has some vast library of rotoscoped graphics and animates it in layers, but what is most perplexing is the green screen effect of some live footage which most obviously wasnt shot in front of a green screen. Is that even possible?

    It looks like he’s just using a color key effect on clips that have a uniformly colored sky or ground or whatever.

    Cant you achieve a similar effect by using a multiplier? Ive faintly remember seeing it done before but i forget it your stuff had to have a solid color background. If thats the case, i dont see what the significance in using green/blue is, seems like any color would work.

    Looks like he’s using mostly green screen and various blend modes.. add, screen etc… very fragmented and chaotic! Kind of inkblot sort of stuff..

    I have to say, it’s been a very long time since I dropped acid, but I was starting to get pretty tripped out by those videos! I better stop watching before I start seeing trails!!
