Flamingos at the Hong Kong zoo. Another slit-scanned piece. Actually this would be one of my earliest ones. And one of my favorites.

    this is a great technique. can it run in processing in run-time?
  • matt ditton plus 2 years ago
    Alas no. Each frame needs to processed by reading through the entire video. But I've speed the whole thing up by running it in threads and doing a couple of frames at the same time, that kind of thing. I was working on doing a real time version with openframeworks. loading the pixels into a gigantic array should be dead easy in C++

    thats pretty sweet, would love to see it in real-time.

    i gave it a crack last night and came up with some interesting results. i loaded each frame of a movie as PImage into an array and then undulated each row of pixels to create waves of temporal distortion (it even sounds cool!). really heavy on the processor tho. will post some results once i find the right input video.

    do u have a link to multithreading with videos? be great to speed it up.

    I did a 3D version to try and visualize having an shifting capture line. A screenshot is here flickr.com/photos/polymonkey/2229529658/in/set-72157603027689977/

    For the capturing I use this bit of code that I posted to the forum processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Video;action=display;num=1196870672;start=2#2

    and I wrap that in a thread class that comes from shiffmans threads example. I don't have anything that is safe for human consumption. I really should clean it up and post it up. Sounds like a good project for the weekend.

    let's try that link again

    ok one more time you suck comment box
    processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Video
    ;action=display;num=1196870672;start=2#2

    might have to do a little copy and paste to get the link to work.

    That was really beautiful, reminds me of a recent video installation from Daniel Crooks that I went to see. Very impressive.

    Very cool stuff !
    Did you do something special to the middle section for this speeding up effect ?
    Thanks
  • matt ditton plus 2 days ago
    Actually a noise from my girlfriend spooked them so they started moving quickly. Turns out flamingoes are skittish.

    Hello Matt, i was thinking of something more technical lol ! nevertheless this effect is adding all the salt to your sequence. Thanks a lot
