I'm interested to know how what technique you used to get the video playing inside random blocks? I'm guessing it was a very fiddly process, can you tell me more about the techniques you used please?

Fantastic work, very inspiring.
duckeyejey 2 years ago

hi yes it was fiddly. It involved constructing a 3d grid object in AE which followed the real grid. This virtual grid could then be used as a Track Matte to mask out elements from each of the 3 or 4 motion control passes. The fiddly part was adjusting the virtual grid with a distortion mesh to match the uneven nuances of the real grid. hope this makes some sense?
Splurj 2 years ago

It sort of makes some sense, I should maybe do a bit of research into track mattes as I've never used them before. How did you manage to get sections of the footage to display randomly in random blocks? That's the bit that's most confusing me. I'm guessing there were some tricky expressions used?
duckeyejey 2 years ago

That's achieved by the dancer being in a different position in relation to the other pass with the motion control rig. It's all in camera apart from the compositing, no expressions required!
Splurj 2 years ago

I understand that, but... ok lets see if I can explain what I'm trying to get at (sorry I'm not great with the technical terms).

I'm looking more at the squares which appear to be masks over the different pieces of footage, and where and when they appear. Where these square masks animated manually along on timeline?

Like, you placed the footage then every now and then, over a few frames, you'd draw a square mask in position over the squares on the grid?

I've probably made this sound so long-winded and there's probably some simple explanation, sorry for bugging you, I just can't get my head around it :)

Really cool Idea. The giant pixels make it feel as though you are watching a giant screen. But then you see all the beautiful parallax and you go.... What the?... How did they?... Ahhh, I see... THATS AWESOME!

I love this, the visuals the dance the music, always moving never closer, superb.
Patricia Borgess 2 years ago

The performers' outfits were too distracting for me to enjoy the film - they weren't attractive and did not relate to the rusty fence grid or electronic music. It looked like characters from an Old Navy commercial who were kidnapped and forced to dance in a prison.

YNow that's being too critical. Do something great as this once in your life and then we'll chat.

OMG This is the best film I've ever seen. Just spent the last hour watching it continuously and could keep going for days. I love it <3

Reminded me of the experimental dance films of Norman McLaren, only infinitely better. You've taken videodance to a whole other place.

Good photography and concept, but horrible clothes.
what a pity.
duckeyejey 2 years ago

thanks for the constructive criticism, always good to know the negative points. What would you have had them wear, any thoughts?
Pixel in Fact 2 years ago

I prefer nude or similar, special caracter or theatral clothes, not street wear.

But its only my opinion, i like videodance with poetry contain.

Always constructive comments.

i think this is one of the best interactions of dance and technology i've seen. simple in concept, but the implications are complex (distortion of time and space, fragmented experience, analog v digital, etc.). thanks for the inspiration!
