reverse perspective

This is an interesting proof-of-concept test — reverse perspective! Things that are farther away appear large, then get smaller as they get closer.

True Reverse Perspective from JMS on Vimeo.

There are precedents however; painted Russian Orthodox Icons sometimes featured what is called Byzantine-perspective in the buildings and backgrounds – as a way of describing God looking out at the world, through the painting. It’s a beautiful concept; a God’s perspective.

Details on how it was done, and why, can be found on the vimeo page.
