What if I told you that you could take a piece of real life street art and animate it in your videos? That's exactly what Art List is doing with profound London based street artist Luke Smile. Together they're teaming up to create an After Effects template from murals that Luke is going to be painting in London. For me, street art was one of the first ever creative outlets that I ever had before trying my hand and becoming a filmmaker. So to blend that physical world of the paint on the wall with the digital world in video animation has to be one of the most creative overlaps that I've ever witnessed. Let's get into London and let's meet Luke. I'm Luke Smile, I have work with. Friends like Carl Lagerfeld, Amazon, PayPal, Art List. Let me think of all of those and I'll start getting heard. I saw this wall growing up for many years and I always see it when I go into shortage and like other artists that I know would always love to paint this wall. It's a wall that's had some like incredible murals on in the past. It's got some history. It's so iconic. This is such an iconic spot. You've literally got like a village underground, the nightclub just there. Ken's in general right next door. Yeah man. Yeah man. Yeah man. Yeah man. Yeah man. How'd you know? London, where is it? You'll give him everything you want. You understand? I remember going into shortage when I was a teenager. I remember seeing like massive, massive murals and the street art, just like standing there mesmerised. See, it's a pinch of self moment to be painting that wall. I just kept seeing it everywhere so it felt like it was like kind of meant to be. The wall is starting to take shape. It's quite interesting how long this process takes but it's very very satisfying to watch, especially when them lines are starting to take shape. So yeah, this is banging. It was never my ambition to become a street artist and do this full time like my hobby. Smile Sands was the first font that I created. When I should have been doing work, I started like work on this typeface. I was just playing around but I got really cool job opportunity with Karl Lagerfeld. They asked me to campaign letters on their new KCITI bag range which was like a real luxury tote bag and I ate it up. I was like yes of course. From that moment I felt like this is a career and I can do this and here I haven't looked back since. Essentially Luke's going to make three separate pieces of graffiti that are then going to be turned into an art or effects template that creators can download from the Artless catalogue which is then be absolutely mad for creators like me and you to download and use an artist's piece of work. That's super cool and super creative and I can't wait to see what people do with it. I'm not warming up, is it? No, I ain't warming up. I'm just kidding. It's fucking freezing yeah. Wearing a glove like this, I can't get the feeling in like no I'm doing it. I can't wear one on my right. Oh, and they sent you anything from the other day yet. I've just got tagged in a real on Instagram. Yeah. All right, looks so good. Yeah, see the work on my life. I was super excited like seeing the videos that Artless put up yesterday. I was, yeah, took my breath away because I've never seen my letters move that march and in such a cool way and every like the reaction has been to bike. Incredible so far, so yeah, it's so cool. Right, so Luke is on his third and final mural. I honestly don't know how he's still going. He's been doing this all bloody week, painting over it, starting again and that must fly as it created be a little bit like a little bit heart wrenching but he's smashing it, taking it in his stride and it's going to be sick. Yeah, my earliest memories of going to walls that started to paint, yeah, it was it was such an adventure like you might have to crawl under a bridge to get there, get your feet wet in the river and they were the best times because you were young and you was just out there experimented. Yeah, using spray paint the first time was, oh, it was the best feeling. How you feeling then? How you feeling? Yeah, so that piece of finish. My style can take quite a long time to get right. It probably looks okay to other people like a halfway through but I always spend like a long time at the end making sure all the angles are right. I can't sleep at night if I go home and it's a bit off. Stand back and think, oh yeah, that needs to come up a bit or that needs to come down a bit that angle needs to change. Yeah, make sure it's exactly how I want it. I feel absolutely blessed to be part of this campaign with Artless. When I started out I could never imagine of doing anything like this. This font particular, SmartSand, it means so much to me, it's like my baby, like I made it and it's been with me all this time and it's what's got me to this level as an artist. If I saw that SmartSand was used by another creative and it kicks started their career, I'd be super proud because it shouldn't just be for me to use. It should be shared. After spending three days with Luke and exploring that format of creativity that ignited my own passion for being creative and then obviously picking up a camera and doing what I do today and to see Luke's artwork that's on the wall come to life in the edit. I've never been so proud to see a project like this come to life. It's so inspiring to see what can happen when someone actually follows and pursues their passion against all odds. I think there's something that every creative out there no matter what format or what medium that they're in can really fill and understand. So head over to Artless to download Luke's template and watch your titles come to life.
