What Stallaert was looking for when throwing real physical paint around was the chaos and shapes that the paint would create. With CGI you can make anything you can imagine, but with reality the stuff you are working with can make things you never imagined. re: mkunert

Fluid dynamics simulators like RealFlow or Houdini could have easily pulled off the shot. Case in point is this commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sjPNn3uECk Beautiful photography and clever work, but a statement like, “initially thinking CGI was the answer but quickly realized that that technology was best for reproducing something that already exists”, would make most people in the CGI community cough up their coffee.

Hope to see more in the future. Great find. Love the feature image. I am always excited to see who the artist is and what the work is like when I notice that the F Stop has put up a new post.
