...shh. We're still hush hush about the secret project.
However I can reveal that I built a bullet time rig for it. I don't think I'm going to use it for this particular project after all but I'm sure it will come in useful in the future.
If anyone is interested in how I made this I might put up a how to guide.

Blissfields 2013
Congratulations to the
whole blissfield’s team who pulled of yet another fantastic year of fun and
frivolities.
This year's lineup had
some stonkers in it but none moreso than public service broadcasting. This
fantastic outfit perform live soundtracking (which I already love) to CC
licensed visuals provided by footage from the internet archive (which is very
clever). You should give them a listen and watch here.
This was particularly
interesting to me as I’d accidentally ended up installing and running live
visuals at the Elysium Lounge at Blissfields. Though the team has run the fire area and chillout system
in the past this was the first year we had attempted projections. As such there
was a massive amount of material that we needed for the VJs but not a lot of
time to produce it. So the idea of creative commons licensed material became
very important.
Much like public
service announcement I started with historical footage found on the internet
archive. This is a wonderful resource for visuals featuring old broadcast films
that have fallen out of copyright and some slightly bigger names such as night
of the living dead that simply messed up their licence ages ago. Check out the
archive here.
This was all very well
and good, but it does take an age to cut into something meaningful and useable.
Also vintage B&W film stock has certain connotations in itself setting
aside the content of films like duck and cover. We really wanted something a
bit more geometric and colourful. Thank god for Beeple.
Beeple or Mike
Winkleman is a video artist whose previous work includes videos for the like of
flying lotus produced for Warp. Very generously he’s put a lot of his visuals available for free
online along with the cinema 4d files used to create them. I thoroughly recommend that you check them out as they are amazing.
Inspired by Beeple I’m
doing the same in return. I produced 2 original ten minute ambient loops for
the overnight chillout show state. These are now available and CC licenced for
people to do what they like with.
