Blush Music Video Created Entirely on iPad with Brushes App
By 
Brushes for the iPad is a super popular painting app that artists and creative people worldwide have used to create some amazing art.
Shawn Harris, an animator, used an iPad and the Brushes app to create a simple and colorful animated music video for the group Blush, which also features Snoop Dogg. It was entirely hand sketched, frame by frame on the iPad.
It’s not super detailed, with mostly crude drawings, but it’s still catchy and fun to watch. Plus, it’s a whole music video. Made right on the iPad. It’s continually amazing to see the kinds of innovative things that people are producing using the iPad. I didn’t even know it was possible to create an entire music video on the iPad, but Shawn Harris did some experimenting and came up with this inspiring concept.
According to Harris, in the video explaining his process, he drew individual frames in Brushes, and recorded them, using Brushes playback feature, which shows you all of the strokes you have made in a video-like format. He took these recordings and emailed them to himself. Then he used the free Brushes computer viewer to play them back and paste together what would become the world’s first music video made using just the iPad and a painting app.
It took 30 brush strokes to create one second of video, and 7,000 brush strokes to complete the entire thing. His first steps included setting the background to pink and drawing the lips you see in the beginning of the video.
Incredible work. Take a look at the video, and then the making of:
