14. Nightmare Deli

Time lapse of our Sunday grocery shopping... with mirrored effects for that "Oh so mesmerizing" kaleidoscope effect.

For extra fun--added "Flora/Fauna" by Anamanaguchi from the album Power Supply.

The result: That's for you to decide!

I've tried several attempts for better resolution but the conversion to flash video seems to kill it. The downloadable movie is so much better with way more detail. Anybody got any ideas on how to help the conversion, let me know.

eric cwiertny 2 years ago

Thanks Perez, you are excellent as well!

Very cool , Colorful, perfect tune and some excellent patterns for that rug I've been wanting !
eric cwiertny 2 years ago

Thanks! I was just going to run the straight timelapse but when I saw the patterning that occurred...this seemed so much better with the mirroring. That would make some cool rugs!
CTD3 2 years ago

I'd love to see a mosaic of some of the choice stills.
You know as well, the was a mouth inference and a football helmet guard inference as well,, along w/ that rug thang.

Great, and sound like I sometimes feel at the supermarket ;-)

Thanks ojo... :-)
isaacwayton 2 years ago

Sweet! I wish my grocery outings were always this hallucinatory. The music is the cherry on top of this Sunday shopping experience.
eric cwiertny 2 years ago

The original looked so ordinary, and there's just something cool to me about the whole patterning and kaleidoscope thing. Especially with all that color, shape and movement.
Brett Russell Dougherty 2 years ago

ooooh! aaaah! the cage of the shopping cart provides for an excellent point of reference.

you motivate me to produce (art) wherever i am. woot to that.
eric cwiertny 2 years ago

It was fun cause I've never filmed just an ordinary thing like shopping. And after I did, realized it could be more interesting with some effects and some fun music. I never thought shopping for groceries could look fun.
aaroneous 2 years ago

Ditto everyone. The music really makes this. Very cool!
eric cwiertny 2 years ago

Thanks...I found them through a video that Eric Lodwick made a few months back...

Now what was I thinking, brilliant! Perfect subject for kaleidoscope treatment
eric cwiertny 2 years ago

So much color, shape and texture at the grocery store...
Forrest O. 2 years ago

I like it!

Since the source video is reflected four ways, I bet you could set it up as an HD project and get a higher resolution export... would probably require starting over though.

(found via the kaleidoscope tag)
eric cwiertny 2 years ago

Cool, thanks, maybe I'll have a go at it someday...

glad you liked it, though.
Roman 2 years ago

ha. I would have never thought that one can use camcorder effects so well. exciting
eric cwiertny 2 years ago

Thank you very much!
Alex Itin 2 years ago

I keep thinking this effect is played out, but then I see something like this and I just fall in love all over again.
eric cwiertny 2 years ago

Thanks...this is what happens when you get really bored...filming grocery shopping and trying to make something out of it.

eric cwiertny 2 years ago

Hey Blake...what's on those middle aisles...isn't that where all the good stuff is? ;-)

Thanks as always for the nice words!
