8. ZKO Rollercoaster // GREAT EMOTIONS
11 months ago
Visualization of the 1st violin of the 2nd symphony, 4th movement by Ferdinand Ries in the shape of a rollercoaster. The camera starts by showing a close-up of the score, then focuses on the notes of the first violin turning the staves into the winding rail tracks of the rollercoaster. The notes and bars were exactly synchronised with the progression in the animation so that the typical movements of a rollercoaster ride match the dramatic composition of the music.

I haven't heard of Ries before, but now I'm curious.

Well done !
Wow...I love that !!!
We were asking for notes of the "main melody" but this didn't exist of course. Therefore the client delivered the first violine. The technical setup is not that simple to guarantee maximum creative freedom and changes. It's a long story. All I can say is that the placement of the notes are based on converting them in a row into an outline EPS and an ASCII file generated by hand while listening to the music to transfer the right "human beat" by the orchestra. This file and more was used by a script in Softimage and the spacing of the notes and bars is connected to the timing of the camera and spline model of the rollercoaster track.
The 3d elements itself were placed automatically by analyzing the point number of the imported EPS of all notes. We could change the design in every way we like and change the camera. Everything was updated to it automatically to keep in sync. This was very important to adjust the final result by testing different features of the track. Alone this setup took three weeks to finish. At the end it had have been not such a big deal to replace the track with another instrument. Our setup and way to transfer the notes would make it possible. Doing it old school by classic animation without the technical skills of Martin Chatterjee the mission had been a nightmare. From our pov the way we did it was indeed like playing the violine *:-)
