QC tutorial 6: Dynamic slideshow

admin — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 22:56:07 +0000

No 6 is a quickie on how to scan a folder for images, and have those available in VDMX as a slideshow with dynamic content.

Oh, and sorry for the Lady Gaga track. I couldn’t resist.

The great Airway-X and myself rocking out a Tron AV remix with Ableton Live and Resolume Avenue in sync.

Enjoy

Presenting at Ableton’s ten year anniversary

On Saturday the 21st of November, Ableton Live celebrated its 10th birthday at the Sugar Factory (under the ingenious moniker of Able-10)

We took the opportunity to show how to take AV sets to the next level, by showing off the way you can integrate Resolume Avenue with Ableton Live.

Random text effect

admin — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 00:06:55 +0000

A QCtextsource for VDMX that wipes the text on and off the screen with random letters and symbols.

Inspired by COD:Modern Warfare 2 and Alx Toneburst.

Controls for duration, font size and font selection.

As Hiltmeyer noted correctly in a comment elsewhere on this site, the spacing on the letters can be off a little bit. This has to do with the way QC breaks up the string into individual letters. I’m still looking into this, but in the meanwhile it works fine for ‘fixed-width’ fonts such as Courier, Andale Mono, Monaco and my personal tech favourite OCRA.

‘M8 Trace’ Quartz Composer effect

admin — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:33:46 +0000

Following up on a thread on the Vidvox user forums, this effect recreates the ‘trace’ look from Modul8. It’s Image Filter compliant, so it should work in all programs that support Quartz Composer Image Filters.

It uses a Core Image kernel originally written by Memo Akten to apply a luma key.

Controls for trail length, luma key threshold and luma key softness.

Kinki Universe

Kinki Universe from goto10 on Vimeo.

Corporate job for Kinki Kappers, a hairdressing company from Amsterdam. It was one of those awful open briefs (”here’s a bunch of pictures, make something cool with it, you know, like with 3d and stuff”), and I spent a long time figuring out which direction to take it. In the end both the client and I were very pleased with the result.

I decided to upload it, because it marks my first steps into using Quartz Composer and realtime graphics code for corporate productions as well. Instead of just using After Effects, this also features some QC compositions (most notably Vade’s Rutt Etra plugin) all rendered using Kineme Quartz Crystal.

Kinki Kappers @ L’Oreal Color Trophy

It started out as an experiment in filming and compositing in anaglyph 3d, but it turned into a six projector, multiple screen setup, complete with models prancing about on the cat walk.

People sure look funny in three piece suits and red-green glasses….

Especially the UFO that came flying in made the bizarro of the evening complete!

The pictures don’t do it justice, but let me assure you that fashion shows are something else entirely!

Although I worked on this more than a year ago, I recently came across some video footage of the event. It’s still quite bizarre to see thousands of people film your work with their cellphones.

And to see the full effect of the lighting and pyros!

Magic Bubble at Glastonbury

This summer, we were asked to provide visuals and the lighting setup for the Magic Bubble Soundsystem at the Glastonbury Festival. The Magic Bubble crew are a lovely bunch of people, and we had a great time. It was the first time at Glastonbury for me, so it was quite a mind blowing experience. This picture was taken on Wednesday night (or rather early Thursday morning) when we didn’t yet know what was about to hit us.

Many thanks to the Magic Bubble crew for taking us on board and the lovely memories.
