Short Studies for Los Angeles Metro Art from Victor Ingrassia on Vimeo.
It's been a while. Since I work exclusively with animation in Studio Artist, but the SA video gallery is no longer here, I figured I post a link to a reel of short clips of animations I have done in SA. This reel was originally submitted to LA Metro. It shows a nice range of what is possible working with video in Studio Artist.
Sound & silent; created from approx 2004 to present. thnx.
A bit of context: I am a composer and visual artist. I am new to StudioArtist. The art I have created so far with StudioArtist has been based on original photography and watercolours. As a composer I often write music first then create visual art from that inspiration, although art has come first from time-to-time. I am looking forward to being able to input audio into the paint synthesizer to create art on the fly. I hope this feature will be able to work with multilple input channels. I work in quadraphonic (a bit of a relic) but also in full surround-sound and Atmos. Comments and suggestions are welcome. In particular best practices to rotoscope video into smooth animation. The video linked to this post (Travellers) was created from a photograph of tulips taken at the Royal Botanical Gardens.
Procedural animation generated in Studio Artist V5.5.5 using some related MSG (modular synthesized graphics) presets that self-animate based on a few Temporal Generators (time based oscillators) hooked into different MSG processor parameters. I then key-framed these in the Studio Artist Paint Action sequence (PASeq) Timeline using Transition Contexts, which let you run transition effects between key-framed images or free running movies. I then used the Invert Expand timeline command to invert flip the entire animation for the second half, which timed out nicely to fit the first audio track titled 'Radiowave' off of Xenon Light's 'Annihilation' cd.
Studio Artist V5.5.5 has a lot of different features one can use to build TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem) sketch effects. I setup a Paint Action Sequence (PASeq) to automatically build a single bezier path TSP Sketch of a series of key-framed movies in a Transition Context. I then used another Studio Artist feature to automatically derive colored regions (the Flat Color Regionize IpOp effects) while keyframe interpolating the single bezier curve sketch effects over time. And this is what i got. Super easy to try experiments like this in Studio Artist.
Hi, here is a new video, lots of MSG (background layer) and MSG generation path starts along with Time Particles in the paint synth, the "Piggy" figure I made in ZBrush and then animated in Blender, with embedded alpha channel, then took into Studio Artist and made into several different kinds of Movie Brushes. Several layers composited together in Blender. Music made with Bespoke Synth and my Shenai. If anyone has any questions about how it was done I'd be happy to explain more.…
I am not sure if this forum is active anymore... I thought it would be fun to post a very early piece of mine made with, probably, SA3 or 4. I have been a user since 2001.
