Jed Smith - Week 8 Update
This last week I focused nearly exclusively on working on my Hybrid Music performance. I had been making it a second priority previously, and so had a lot of work to do to catch up. Fortunately, the visual component of my Hybrid project intersected significantly with my AI project's abstract visualizations.
Accordingly, I thought it might be interesting to make a little post about the process and techniques I used to create the visuals that my SOS: Media classmates saw last week for the initial critique-screening of Lethe, which incidentally are the same techniques I used to create the visuals for my Hybrid performance (minus a couple of things).
This will come eventually, but before I go further, here is an online version of my Hybrid Music music video, which is missing an introduction with live flute performed by Kina Smith, running into a physical feedback loop effects chain, and creating an underlying "undulating wall of sound", which is not present in this version. Imaging rumblings at the end when the sound stops and the visuals keep going.

Currently (Week 9), I am working on Unicorns stuff. We had a pixilation shoot in the sheep meadow behind morgan's house, and have been working on the new edit. I have been working today on the Dan special effects shot, and you can see a TUTORIAL SCREENCAST at the previous page also, detailing a novel technique of rotoscoping, and some various other things.
