artificial systems

Final piece for Art Every Day Month. Took some of the parts I liked from the last sphere experiment and stretched them out into a music video for the song I wrote 2 days ago, trying to be more subtle with the animation. Still needs lots of tweaks, but starting to look good!

Work In Progress, currently un-scored: Experimenting with Sphere forms at high rates of evolution in an effort to discover useable aesthetics.

More Sphere studies today. Summary of today’s experimentation in this vid. Think I found some very useable forms (for music vids) near the end.

Because everyone wants to hear a single resonant tone, right?

[WIP] Fleshing out a concept for the sphere dingy

Experimenting with minimal sphere forms and movement in trapcode form.

Working on a weird blob

Amazing how much the sound design made this thing scary. Have a lot of work to do on this guy, but here’s where it’s at. Trying to make a storm out of googled cloud images. Lots of challenges to make it look more natural. but running into problems and having to find a solution has been the best way to learn new skills for me I think.

Working on making this cloud stuff again. Not good enough at AE

W.I.P. first full-length music vid. Stoked with the way these are turning out, can’t wait to get better at this program

Expanded the star stuff from the intro of yesterdays vid, added some light piano. 

Learning animation curves and easy-ease for more realistic motion, how to transition forms smoothly. Can’t wait to design sound for this one

Render tests after experimenting with string form settings using light, speed and form transformation. Sucky looking but learned a ton today.

Took a break from the clouds thing I was working on to make this cheeseball thing. Practicing camera movement in 3D space, mainly. Had a ton of fun (again) scoring in Ableton.
