Highlights from Flying Lotus' Set at Emerg n See Festival in the beautiful Oregon forest, featuring "Wobble Vision" , a unique blend of original Video content & audio-reactive programing by Adrien sAne (Freestyle Movement), and Movers, Strobes, LEDs, HD Projectors (11k lumens!!) provided by Fusion Visuals. Tag Team visual set featured a combination of audio-reactive interface design and real-time controller manipulation for a fully integrated experience..

For the Video Headz: the content is a blend of original 35mm Digital HD from my films, Motion Graphics & Hand drawn animation, and Quartz Compositions blended for a unique synthesis of analog/futuristic blend.. the interface is mapped to external controls thru VDMX, and performed entirely on hardware controllers for maximum intuitive control.

This is the first trailer to the upcoming 2009 Summer Project for the Freestyle Movement™. The film highlights the efforts by the forest defender community, and paints a larger picture about being conscious of our impact on the planet. Symbiotic Substrate is about realizing that we are all interconnected, and if we choose to we can become a nourishing force for one another.

This will be the second major production of the FsM Documentary Series, and will be remixed for the Cinematic Crunk Live Experience.

Featured is forest activist Julia Butterfly Hill.
Camera work, Post-Prod MacGyverisms, and Sound Track by Adrien sAne.

This is the First installment of Cinematic Crunk; a Series of Audiovisual mixtapes featuring all original Content by the Freestyle Movement Collective. This volume is an introduction to the new directions FsM Crew is taking; immersive live shows with synchronized, themed content, performed through interactive software and performer mounted sensors. Sampling live footage from our last show at the Fox Theater mixed with snippets recorded of sAne's Live Visual Styles and Documentary films, featuring special pre-release snippets from "What About Me" (aka 1 Giant Leap, vol 2), and A/V Remix of "That Time" with Restless Films (NYC).

About Cinematic Crunk:

The Freestyle Movement is proud to announce an evolution that blends modern Documentary Film Making with cutting edge Audiovisual performance tools. Geared for large venues, festivals, and theaters, this project will feature all original Audiovisual content; short Documentaries remixed in real-time, to a tasty soundtrack infused with audio samples from the featured films. The purpose of this project is to connect large amounts of people to issues of global concern, and to awaken the spirit of positive change in our communities. The performance will also serve as a vital link to draw people our website, which acts as an online resource for the original documentaries, as well as the growing community of light-workers and social efforts to bring about massive Social Transformation for the betterment of our Planet.

This is some 3D animation in Quartz Composer, done with Kineme3D. I am loading some fbx files with the Kineme3D toolset and also using the "bend" and "gravity warp" patches, rotating the objects, etc...

The Kineme3D plugin is available at kineme.net

So, on this I did the modeling and the quartz composer programming/setup. The GLSL code (what gives the objects their color/and light sources), is straight from tonebursts's "thin film" and "glossy wet" examples, with some changes to the default loading parameters, but not the actual code. Chris Wright and Steve Mokris get credit for the unwieldy amount of coding of the plug-ins, and for Kineme in general.... 'cause let's face it, they have expanded the capabilities of QC to an extreme point... as well as for being sublimely responsive to my hair-brained ideas! KINEME RULES!!!

ENTER RANT:

Considering the complete reworking of QC, the genius and conceptualization of the basic setups of the Kineme examples/macros, and the fact that a lot of the things that I do come out of Chris having helpfully(patiently?) answered questions... Chris and Steve probably deserve credits on the majority of things I have ever posted here! If there is anyone out there who regularly uses Quartz Composer, who does not have Kineme3D yet.... you must be crazy! If you don't have the money... skip eating (that statement is probably not endorsed by kineme for insurance purposes if nothing else, lol...).

QC=nice
QC + Kineme=nice³
