Tim’s Vermeer - Trailer: 'Tim's Vermeer' Trailer (2014): Tim Jenison, Penn Jillette - YouTube

I have just watched an old TWiT program featuring Tim Jenison, creator of DigiView and the Video Toaster, who became “obsessed” with how Vermeer made his paintings. It wasn’t all done by hand as one may think the old masters created their work. They starting using all sorts of mechanical aids. Vermeer had a technique that brought color accuracy to his images. Tim figured out how he did it and recreated the mechanics needed to produce the finished results. Check out the trailer above.
