Art Processing Sharing Blog
Island tour through the lush tropical islands of Maui, Molokai, Kauai, and Oahu.
All of the imagery was shot on location, this is what it looks like here folks. Everything was shot on video, either forward moving camera or panorama rotation camera.
The movie files were then processed by Studio Artist Temporal IpOp effects to build time smear panoramas.
Those panorama files were then loaded as keyframes into a Transition Context. That drove the Source for a Vectorizer preset that mixes into the canvas over several frames in the animation.
I've been playing around with additional effect treatments for time-based panoramas created with temporal ip ops. Sometimes the temporal processing is a little too obvious or gimmicky and embedding it in the context of additional artistic effects is an interesting way to change your perception of the temporal processing effects.
For example, sometimes you get certain geometric effects in the image from the motion encapsulation of the temporal processing. But other effects like the Vectorizer will also create it's own kind of geometric effect. So when you combine them together you get a whole new thing created from the interaction of the 2 kinds of spatial distortion.
Depending on the settings you use for the temporal processing you can also recontexturalize normal reality. Kind of like a mirror image but something different in the case of the image above. The temporal scan is in the opposite direction of the movement in the video over time.
I've been trying some experiments using the new tracking slit scan temporal ip op to convert a video pan into a panorama image. This was generated from 200 frames of a hand held pan shot using the Flip video camera. The new coverage control in the tracking slit scan is really useful to generate additional detail. Obviously there are other ways to build panoramas, but the blips in this particular process can be exploited in different artistic ways.
For example, you can take a video of a trip in a car and generate a panorama of the complete car journey.
What's interesting about this next one is that its the same set of video frames as the previous one, just a different scan direction. But you get a very different visual feel.
