Water Movement Ink droplet

Slow motion filming of ink being dropped into water - very clear and slow movement of water. Could experiment with coloured ink (blue to show Aquapax colours) or food colourings to see what creates the best effects with the water.

After seeing some examples of ink in water i started to experiment with this idea. Below are some of my experiments.

I started experimenting with Photography beacause this is my strength. I have captured some facinating shapes with the ink (food colouring) in the water. However i need to think about this idea carefully becasue otherwise it could look like i am indicating that the Aquapax water is blue or has additives in it!

I then went back and experiemented using film with just water droplets. But it is just not as effective as the Ink!

Looking down on the clear water you can see every detail of the bowl that contains the water aswell as any reflections from surrounding objects. This would need careful lighting to stop the reflections and make the water look clean and white. I feel this would also need showing down so much that you could only view one water droplet because it would need to be that slow. This would mean I would need an extremely good video camera and exellent lighting to make the water droplet bight and look clear. I think it is more aesthetically pleasing to watch the ink droplet transform into shapes than it is to watch one water droplet. I will experiment with the ink droplets further to see if my idea of reversing the footage would work to get the right concept for Aquapax.
