I will be making several fairly lightweight offerings for the remainder of the semester, unless one of the experiments works well enough to turn into a legitimate final project.
These will include:
- Film my girlfriend cooking with the mini heat camera.
- Experiments with my housemate and another member of our isolation pod who are Tae Kwon Do black belts.
-
- We tried doing photogrammetry with the other five of us taking pictures/ videos while she held a kick, but the results were very messy even after Metashape spent two days processing. I am going to try again ASAP with just me taking photos.
- She ordered glow-in-the-dark nunchucks so this weekend we’ll try some long-exposure nunchuck painting.
-
- Try to produce better/more interesting results with the slit-scan program I wrote in p5.js. This may have more to do with my choice of video input than improving the program itself.
- What I really want to do is make something with the digitized VHS tapes from my childhood, but I am stuck on what form it will take.
-
- Photogrammetry didn’t work very well because I couldn’t find a clip where everyone was staying still as the camera moved.
- I also tried the Topaz video upscaling app because I thought it would interesting to have the algorithm recreate the memories more vividly. Unfortunately, it only made the artifacts worse (which is kind of poetic but didn’t look so great.)
- Any suggestions are welcome. I feel like this is a valuable source with high emotional valence (at least to me) but I don’t know what to do with it.
-
Mostly, I just want to make something nice before I graduate 🙁
