Anyone know if "Number One" by Leighton Pierce used Studio Artist?

Description on the Sundance channel: "Water imagery engages the experience of elasticity between varying states of mind." The artist bio says it another way that rings true for me: Leighton Pierce uses film, video, and sound to create experiences in transformative time.

I saw this short film recently and it completely blew me away. And I kept thinking afterwards that parts of it reminded me of things that I've seen other people do in Studio Artist, or that I'm sure could be done with the MSG Evolver. The short hovers between abstraction, painterly effects, and what I imagine the astronaut saw in 2001 towards the end when he looked in the monolith and said My God, it's full of stars! I really want to just watch this over and over. I do think the big screen is necessary to experience it as transformative time.

Cool video. I can imagine how it might be done with SA mirror transformations, but it does not look like SA to me.

"At the top of the evolution editor directly to the left of the Randomize button is a numeric entry. It controls the amount of randomization you get when you mutate. Making it smaller will reduce the amount of variation in the mutation process. So…"

"Yes the range of generated picture is big. I tested and tested and never get the same picture as you. I don't understand what you mean by : "dial back the randomization" "

"The other thing you can do is to dial back the randomization at the top of the Evolution Editor. Once you get to something you like and are trying to generate mutated variations off of it. So then the amount of mutation for each evolution editor…"
