41. Surfing the 4th Dimension
1 year ago
Further experiments in slit-scan style video, sometimes called time slicing. I like to think that this is what you might see if you looked at our world from a spot in the fourth dimension. (^_^)
These clips start as normal video clips that I've captured along the Oregon Coast. Then I run 'em through a script that I wrote in Processing.
The script works by taking a vertical sliver of pixels from the source video, advancing the video one frame, grabbing another sliver of pixels, and so on through the entire source clip.
These slivers are then stacked horizontally to create one frame of the final clip. The animation effect is created by advancing the location of the vertical slice and repeating the stacking process.
So each frame of the final clip represents the change over time of a stationary spot. As the video advances, the spot we are seeing moves through space. Normally as a video advances we move through time, so we've sort of swapped the two.

Had a lot of fun cooking this one up as a back burner project over the last couple of years. Was great to realize I could finish it up, and I was so psyched to get BoingBoinged. (^_^)
hubs: The script is available, I shared it when I made my first slit-scan vid called Waveslice. You can grab it here: shiny-life.com/dl/VideoSlice_Release1.zip
If you are getting only a single frame when rendering a movie, then you may be have the start/end frames set improperly, or some other glitch.
Here's a link with a sample vid. (280MB)
