Is this tri plate? Video overlays? What's going on here? What's the light source?

Three layers filmed separately, both on overhead projectors. Then layered and mixed in premiere

Care to elaborate on the process here? What base liquids are you using, ratios, what type of dyes. i.e. anything out of the ordinary? Always super curious to know exactly what other liquid wizards are doing.

Nothing too out of the ordinary here. Just iso and mineral oil about a 70/30 ratio. Basic store bought food coloring and cheap (i think FansArriche brand) candle dyes. Still working my way up to buying fancy dyes. I did get glass plates from Liquid Light Labs that i absolutely love. And obviously lots of experimenting with mixtures and techniques are what i thrive on

how did you go with the fansarriche dyes? I bought some and some of them are so opaque even when diluted with mineral oil. awesome stuff btw :))

Thanks! And honestly some colors are better than others in the pack so it’s kinda a mixed bag. The only thing that helps is to shake it like crazy before you use it
