“Celeste Motus” is an audiovisual suite in three movements.

This video shows some excerpts from the suite, captured in realtime during a studio session (because of the capturing process there are some drops in the framerate, but the realtime version runs at 60 frames per second).

Both the music and the visuals are generated in realtime using the input of two electric instruments (a wind instrument and a piano).
The original setup is meant to be a three screens span mode resulting in a panoramic 4:1 view.

The theme of the suite is the growth of consciousness, a growth that develops during the three movements.

///A Film directed and animated by MUSCLEBEAVER///

MSLBVR 2008 (c)

This animation we did was planned and animated for the prologue of a documentary.
(That explains the absurd, unfinished seeming, ending.That is where the actual documentary starts.... )
The briefing was to show an evolution of computer games.
The documentary itself is about different people, based here in germany, showing their everyday life, and their addiction to the same specific, famous MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game):"Wo.."

Every game character in this prologue was reinterpreted, redrawn (...one pixel at a time), and animated frame by frame.
