    awesome! how did u know which bar to move for which sound?

    how long did this take to do?
  • Jordan Nelson 3 years ago
    they didn't know which bar to move with which sound.

    the bars are completely random, but edited with the music and changing the clip at a different stanza in the song gives the effect of the graphic equalizer.

    Why no download video?
  • jon2oo6spb 3 years ago
    Sorry. This video is not available

    why???!!! =((((

  • Marcelo Costa plus 3 years ago
    We've shot the original graphic equalizer
    and followed every step in each technique. Really hard work, I have to say. So differently from a comment above, it's not random, otherwise would be too easy wouldn't it?


    Indeed, we're stuck in this soundtrack, but we've
    got another surprise for you. Watch this space!

    What program you used for music and for synchronization.

    Very good stop-frame. Is the gypsy horrisonance related to 3 Mustaphas 3 by any chance?

  • Graham Pearson 3 years ago
    Liked it but I have to confess I'm an Audio tech by day and video junkie by night.Maybe Midas would like your graphics as a display on their XL8 digital mixer.

    wow, I had almost precisely the same Idea, just creating a module for vvvv that can handle any audio input equalize it graphically as shown here! when I asked questions on the forum, someone send me the link to this page...now Im blazed!

    Great stuff! It's funny: I'm working (solo) on a project that echoes some of the stuff you've done. There is a "graphic equalizer" element in it: that's how I found the video. I'm not even trying to match the tempo of the song to the image...to difficult. Will send you a link when I'm done...couple of months. The lawn chairs are my favorite.

    fresh, plus a few good surprises. I just imagined you lighting those candles over and over - what a pain!

  • too bad, it was you who first worked out this great idea!
    chekc out my twisted reality clip! best_jo!
