woah
Hi!
I’d like to contribute to this post full of wonders.
it’s a videoclip made for a friend track called Divisione di Cassini (Cassini's Division - Wikipedia)
Peace!

I shared these pictures in another thread, but it was my last experiment. A video bent video tech titler thing. It worked out pretty well, and I’ll share a video of it in action soon.
In other news… I am trying to set up a more ‘fixed’ studio setup for my video gear with a bank of CRTs and more sensible routing etc. I’ve taken on a couple of commissions for bands and musicians which has been fun, and I’m experimenting with different ways to make the footage stand out as opposed to just my usual glitchy pish.

Colliding with the Monitor
Here I have worked with different feedback loops.
One approach is to copy the content from X11 windows to be distorted in realtime with digital image filters. These programs serve as sources for the image stream: Bespoke’s help text, ImageMagick, VLC, SuperCollider, and various apps from the KDE desktop.
Additionally, in some scenes the screen is filmed with a WEB camera and brought back to the process via Gucview to aNa.
In both cases the image data flows through “analog Not analog” (aNa). There is then both: Internal feedback loops in the software components and external feedback when the camera follows the content on the screen.
Recording is divided into short sequences. Then the individual sections are put together to form these animations.

Reminder this thread exists, where we can discuss/explain what we are working on.
You can alternatively use this other thread if you simply want to post a video: Post some video link/embeds of your stuff here!

I’ve got a couple of fun things happening on my docket these days
-
working through the necessary steps to get a working beta version of pi4 VSERPI out in the world. ultimate goal here is to get something available & then create a voluminous set of video n text documentation to make it as painless as possible for anyone to get one up and running, and then phase out the whole silly selling pre built units thing entirely so i’m can finally realize my goal of moving into a cave some day
-
working on a new a/v album with the absurd working title of ‘tantric acid.’ i finished up nearly all the audio stuff start to finish in about 2 weeks when i had a cold about a month ago and have been testing out some concepts for the video part in video waaaves as well. a little excerpt from this project will be screened at the scanlines streaming party on 4-20.
-
teaching myself verilog, vhdl, digital design fundamentals, & low level DSP biz for fpga stuff. I got about as far as i could with all the available vga test pattern stuffs i could find out there and then realized that I just didn’t have enough of a foundation in the digital design sides of things to do much more experimentation with so kinda thinking about bouncing back and forth from the vga video oscillator project i have rn and experimenting with a lot of lower level 1d signal stuff first. signed up for some online classes in hdl image processing using larger fpga+arm dev board stuffs too so trying to come at this project from many different angles
-
developing and refining more classes i can offer in irl and online. teaching the coding classes last month was pretty fun but i’d like to be able to offer some more online stuffs to people who have literally zero interest in coding, hence the magick & narrative class which i’ve been tossing around in my brain for a couple years now. thinking about leading some ‘bootcamp’ style classes at phase space this summer too, something where we walk through steps from start to finish of making like some kind of 5 minute long video art/music video kind of thing over the course of like a week or something.
-
bringing some necesssary updates into the desktop video waaaves world, some that i directly want to be using for the tantric acid project. mainly adding more mixing modes (cleaner luma key + chroma key with threshold lines, add, subtract, and mult) and working out best way to have two individual delay lines to draw from + a more flexible mixing path

After a requisite period mourning the demise of Racer Trash, a number of us have re-formed as Dream Video Division and announced our first two projects: first, a forthcoming pirate broadcast of a remixed LOST, transmitting from a secret location in the Cayman Islands. Second, we are screening NOSFERA2, with an accompanying art installation, at the Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans in June.

…after last months Youtube-livestream ambioSonics live session 133 - Glockenbachwerkstatt München - YouTube - experimenting with a Sleepy Circuits Hypno in the background - was an embarrassing experience - as for example more than half of the cameras just didnt want to work that evening and more importantly my OBS-scenes were not set up (OBS was not set up at all as i was expecting the delivery of a Yolobox until the same afternoon - which did not happen, the delivery i mean) - i am now in the progress of building a complete new streaming setup paired with an ‚analog‘ based visuals-setup (at the moment including besides the Hypno an Edirol P-10 and a Roland V-8 as well as two Sony Camcorders - for starters; there are many-many more (DIY-) toys floating around in my cellar waiting to be included in the visuals) for our next session on may 9th…
…so much fun, so little time…

The Roland P-10 seems like the perfect hardware back up to have some clips ready to go. I have one but always unusual to not see them used more often.

I record the footage at 240 fps. Then the films are converted to 24 fps. The themes are flowing water, flying insects, fabric ribbons in the wind…
This is the result of post-processing the slow-motion shots with openFrameworks and Kdenlive.

Game is called Cloud Gardens, for reference
my free time project for the last couple weeks has been a memory palace emulation in touchdesigner but has started to grow its own legs. Those legs are based on other TD work I’ve done in the past
Warp and paint mode are working as I remember them
One of the additions that can be seen in a lot of this video is that in paint mode moving the delay slider beyond 0 will start to make “loops”. Using the freeze button and repositioning allows for you to draw multiple “loops” on the screen at once. There are lots of examples of this behavior in the video below (the elephant and mariah carey excerpts are good examples…)
https://www.instagram.com/p/CeJYOdxOhWt/ this is also a specific example of what I mean by “looping”
I have also added a temporal displacement section I’m not sure that it will make it into the first release though.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CZawnygFjrc/
this is an example from a previous patch (not the current MP patch) of this type of displacement.
Variable mirroring allows you to set the angle of two mirrors instead of just having H&V mirrors. These also have motion controls like several of the other controls.
I also added a full color matte option so when you make a key instead of having the original image showing through it is a full color matte. Instead of a color matte it could be patched to be anything else too. This matte has motion controls and can do some really neat color replacement .
https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfek7DNuIiN/
here are a couple examples of this color matte mode.
Additionally I beefed up the motion control section just a bit. I added S&H and random. You can variably S&H the main control input, the built in motion control LFO, or the random. The random value can also be slewed or not just like the main control and motion LFO.
there are a couple different sections in the video
displacement
displacement + paint looping
displacement + paint looping + color matte + temporal displacement
External key input
paint looping
variable mirroring
This compilation is more paint mode than warp mode but there are a couple warp pieces in the mix I just forgot which ones are warp
My hope with eventually being able to share the pieces and the larger patch would be that people are able to peak under the hood / play with rearranging the pieces / add some experimental sections of their own!

Currently I have just started and when I say started I mean with my journey into analog video mixing. I’ve been editing video for at least 12 13 years from car crash compilations when I was very young to make in the trippiest videos I can for me and my friends to watch while tripping LOL honing in on those skills has been fun but I just took the leap and purchased a videonics MX Pro mx3000 without the power cord LOL I did not know of this problem until after the purchase so if anyone has a walk around for that it would help out a lot also I’m not sure how good the board is so any thoughts on it would be awesome. As of right now I am transferring VHS tapes to digital old home movies all the Disney stuff anything and everything that would be good for stock footage and I’m also transferring DVD to VHS because why not more stock footage is good LOL. As of right now I have a camcorder from 1987 that is pretty dope takes the larger VHS of course and then I have one from 96 that takes the vhsc that one’s a lot easier to hold LOL. And I have a DVD VHS combo VCR. I’m not really sure what I want to achieve mostly I make music so I guess in the end I’m wanting to create content that I can use with my music but I’m also working on two movies one is more of just an idea where the camera person is my imaginary friend and is still just a concept but I love the idea and then without going to in-depth I am working on a horror movie with old home movies but I’m going to cut in a murder scene which is going to be kind of hard because I have to get a beta Max recorder and then transfer that video to VHS and then transfer that VHS to digital so that I can keep the same texture if you feel me I want the filmed scene to look exactly like the whole movies and I think that’s the only way I could possibly do it because that was the process in the whole movies being created. Passive right now to answer your question I’m building my analog video rig I’ve released 25 songs this past Friday on all streaming platforms. And I’m releasing 10 more next Friday and then every Friday after that I am going to have a song released throughout at least the end of the year and building my social media following. Any insight y’all can bring would be awesome also collaboration with music or video I’m attaching my website with links to all my social on here cheers friends I love this site will donate when I can.
Ps tell.ie is dope, free, and invite only so if you want an invite lmk
