Random Ramblings...

Messing around with with video settings on my new-ish Canon G12 camera at a gig last night, and discovered the "miniature" setting. Basically a tilt-shift setting, which blurs the top and bottom a bit.

What I didn't realise is that it also plays back at x10 speed and with no sound.

I'm a bit gutted there's no sound as this was one of the best songs of the night, but then at 10x it would be rubbish - which I didn't realise at the time either. I would also have liked the tilt-shift blurriness to have been a bit stronger, as at the minute its more of a time-lapse video rather than minature or tilt-shift. - more play needed I think.

I still think it looks kinda cool being condensed down into 24 seconds - The light show was really good considering the relatively small size of the gig and lead singer Ed Macfarlane dances around like a mad man.

Anyway I thought I'd post it up, so hear it is.  Let me know what you think.

This video was made by Steffen Bygebjerg in 2009 for the song "End Scene". The track is taken from Troels Abrahamsen's album WHT also from 2009.

The animation work was made in Adobe After Effects. Each frame was then printed and the print was subsequently scanned back into the computer. The scanned frames were then assembled back into the original animation, now with a new rugged look, created by the visit in the physical analogue world. No effects added after scanning.

Its currently over 8 hours in length and nearly 100 tracks.  Its perfect to get you through a working day or to stick on when a few friends come over.

You can give it a listen here: [nf]*

It’s a pretty mixed up selection of indie, electro, house and with a few choice rap and 80’s tunes thrown in for good measure.  So if you aren’t feeling a few tunes just skip on a bit and hopefully it will keep you rocking all day!

Enjoy,

Ben. X
