Video of my last gig doing visuals for Carl Craig at Decibel Festival 2010! I shot almost all of the footage for this show during this last summer and as recently as the day before the show.

You can see one of the flaws in the video on the Canon T2i. When there are bright flashes of light in these video clips, you get a horizontal banding. I actually think it has to do with the frequency of the lights vs the camera. It’s rare that I have seen this, as I mostly shoot outdoor, unlit footage.

These are photos I took to help me figure out part of a puzzle for an idea I’ve wanted to see for a while now. I want to do visuals for a show that include photos taken by anyone who happens to be at the event, as the photos are taken, without having to pop memory cards out of cameras or anything of the sort.

I was laboring under the delusion that I had found an ok way to do the first part of this: emailing photos to Flickr and having new Flickr photos private by default, using Photo Grabbr on Mac OS X to grab the photos “not in a set” and downloading those to a folder on my computer. From then on into Max/MSP to actually do something with the photos.

Rube Goldberg ain’t got nothing on me! After writing up a 500 word post, I found a better way to do this first part (200 less words!). (more…)
