completing the music video for the latest Moodorgan track
the ad hoc render farm
May 12 was the deadline for completing the edit for Moodorgan's track Remember the Truth [prv2 (9.9.9) mix]. The concept for the video involved a number of "videos-within-a-video" integrated into a futuristic urban environment; with a lot of architecture to render, we had to put a few additional render machines on line.
It was also necessary to integrate a bunch of greenscreen footage shot at our warehouse space downtown.
Most of the editing was executed in Final Cut Pro; Lightwave for the 3D elements, and most of the compositing in After Effects.
The final edit can be viewed here.

Also this week was the first test of the full-body gesture recognition and translation system, downtown at our warehouse space.
With the audio system, video projection, lighting and laptops to run the audio and video software set up, we strapped the sensor system on dancer Forest and ran a short improvised performance where her movements drove both the music and visual compositions.

In 2005 I assembled a group of artists and musicians to create a performance group that creates images and sounds in a live performance environment. Combining original photography, animation, and sound design with VJ mix dynamics, the group developed realtime compositing tools and techniques to generate pictures and soundtracks that may range from abstract to narrative. A primary goal of this project was to use "cinematic" visual techniques and narrative elements, while assembling the "final cut" live in real-time.

New media events - Boston 2002-2005
The CONVERGENCE event was an opportunity for interaction between the independent film and cyberarts communities (The Boston Independent Film Festival and Boston Cyberarts Festival), featuring performers from a new wave of artists exploring the space between cinema and new media.
