More kaleidoscopic play
UncategorizedA continuation of test footage using a kaleidoscope and composition by Mike Vernusky. Considering different color combinations, textures, rhythms. I’ll continue to lay down raw material like this, then begin to play with individual frames.

UncategorizedBack to animating individual frames for Cosmos. Cutting each image down to a frame or two is tedious as all hell, but I can cheat it by cropping them to a few seconds each, then running the whole clip in fast motion. Nuance and rhythm is lost, but it gives be a basic idea of what all these frames might look like when animated.

UncategorizedMore stills from a painted filmstrip for Cosmos, along with a short, simple animation. I like WP’s gallery mode for images; makes it a lot easier to product a visual storyboard in short order.

UncategorizedThoughts of Jupiter and Saturn on my mind; no wonder my shoulders feel heavy. Continuing to work with inks and solvents to see how they behave. From a series of video sequences I’ve been working with, a timeline and a return to visual storyboarding. I think I might use just this sequence as a process video.
Strangely enough, WordPress’ Flash-based uploader ignores the alphabetical order in which I named the image files. Thus, my storyboard becomes random. Interesting…

UncategorizedCreatively on summer holiday. A test video from the “Polar” gestation period. Part one. Picture at 18 seconds in. Not at all pleased with this Flash-based compression that WordPress uses, but I’ve yet to discover a decent format that doesn’t kill all the detail.

UncategorizedA single painted filmstrip, plus the twirl filter in Final Cut Pro toolbox. Not serious. Just seeing what pushing a button will do. Not much. But it’s pretty.
