Do more with less

I will be presenting at the d-side event “Do more with Less” tomorrow 12/12/12 at 12:12 at D-side Village Brussels.

More like in more impact, more possibilities, more creativity. Less like in less.

Today will be the first real test of the resolume/touchOSC-setup, as I will be trialing in public. The friends over at Roadcompanion asked me to create live visuals during their try-out on stage, using multiple blended projectors and an extra 40″ totem. Public dates to follow!

The setup:

1 iPhone with the Epoccam HD app

1 workstation running Resolume Avenue , touch OSC Editor and the Epoccam drivers

1 iPad running TouchOSC over wifi

2 projectors and a 40inch Samsung Display

1 triplehead2go, DP edition

1 box of cables, adaptors and ducktape

1 mental vj

The concept:

Images and videos are recorded with the EOS 5D, animated and prepared in After-Effects CS6 and rendered out using the DXV-codec 2.2. During the live performance the audio coming from the PA is analysed and routed into Resolume. The ipad is used to control the active layers and effects and to manage the show over Open Sound Control.

The videostream coming from the Epoccam HD app on the iphone is directshowed into a Resolume slot and live mixed with the images/videos/resolume generated lines.

The goal:

Pure fun and visual beauty 😉

Raytrace 3D inside after-effects based on fonts

By extruding text in After-Effects CS6, using the raytrace engine, you can actually build real 3D figures, including shadows and reflection. The above image is entirely made in AE CS6, without using any plugin’s. The spheres and the bars connecting them are actually extruded points. Like this .

Multiscreen control using iPad – touchOSC/Resolume Arena

Working on a concept for a multiscreen setup, using up to 4 blended and bézier-mapped projectors, based on resolume arena, combined with a black magic capture card for real-time powerpoint/keynote playback. All controled using an user adaptable control pannel running over wifi on an iPad sending out osc-controls.

If anyone has some experience with this kind of setup, I am always interested in your opinion and/or experiences!

I am at the stage of a working prototype, waiting to receive a triple head to go and some additional projectors to test.

UPDATE: I did found a lot of information on the site of Martin Thoburn and made my own template based on the files I found there.

AE CS6 under water camera tracking – 3D text

Probably the first under water 3D camera track using Adobe After-Effects CS6 – added some 3D txt, a shadow catcher and some bubbles. The Smart was already parked on the only free parking spot available around Nemo 33. After tracking in After-Effects, I exported the camera to 3D studio Max 2013 using the great AE3DExport script by urbanspaceman. I added some floating teapots and rendered everything back to AE for compositing. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Last Tilt-Shift in Paris – now using Adobe Photoshop CS6 TS Blur Filter

Just for fun and to celebrate the new filters in Photoshop, i remade the tilt-shift animation as seen on this post.

To overcome the photoshop limitation of not being able to use the new filters on a videolayer, I had to make a png-sequence out of them and created a litle droplet with the brand new CS6 tilt-shift action in it.
