The DP that makes $0 look like $100,000 | 'Creatively Obsessed' Ep 1 - Desire Lacap
Envato Tuts+ posted nothing new this week, leaving room to revisit a filmmaker's deliberately unreal world. Desire Lacap's Creatively Obsessed project imagines her surroundings turning out to be a set, a premise the description likens to The Truman Show.
The full episode, "The DP that makes $0 look like $100,000 | 'Creatively Obsessed' Ep 1 - Desire Lacap," explains techniques for replacing a mall background with an airport, adding a falling light rig to live footage and creating camera movement between static shots. It's a demonstration of Envato's own AI tools alongside Adobe Premiere Pro, with planning and music boarding given a place before generation begins. The extravagant budget comparison is the title's pitch, not a production-cost accounting.
But the shorter "The creative flow state is part of the obsession" is drawing the most daily views of the channel's active videos, roughly a thousand a day. It returns to Lacap's approach to making films without a large crew or studio; the longer episode draws a smaller daily audience.
For a different kind of constructed motion, Morgan Howell's "How to animate in Photoshop" builds a skating-character loop using key poses, warp tools, in-between drawings and secondary movement in hair and clothing. That's a substantial hands-on alternative to the filmmaking conversation, with the finished animation reached near the hour mark.
