View Full Version : What if an ink came to life?

I've recently become a fountain pen and ink fan, and I had a little fun imagining what it would be like if my Noodler's Dragon's Napalm ink came to life:

To get the ink drop up close I used a 100 mm macro lens for some of the shots. Tricky to shoot video with a moving subject and shallow depth of field. All of this is live action - no CG or animation is used.

I hope the purists don't object - some science tricks were used to add...unusual character to the ink for this clip.

Thanks, Jeph. Very cool to know that the little ink dragon has visited Germany! Judging by the Franconian coat of arms, he would be right at home :)

I love it! (And I like the music, reminds me of the Scottish pipe music I grew up with.)

InkFan, I watched your FPGeeks giveaway vid. My goodness dude, that is some serious pen generosity on your part. And while I very much intend on entering when Dan gets ahold of the pen for giveaway, I am so super happy to know that it's first going to sbrebrown so that everyone will get to have a look.

You sir, have humbled me with your serious penvangelism.

Yowza! Love the video, but why is the ink frightened? Isn't it from the heart of the dragon? Is it afraid of the drop or of failing to metamorphosize correctly?

I've been thinking about writing a short story about possessed ink. I love the term, "Inkantation." May I use that?
