This week I decided to look at some audio visualization videos, because of what we did in class on Thursday. I think audio visualization is a really interesting art form for a few reasons. The main reason I think that is because audio visualization is a really weird and complex blend of both random and calculated factors. You have the ability to control what you want the audio to control and how you want it to be controlled, but you don't really know what the final product will be. this can and does lead to a lot of unique art. The first video accompanying this post contains some clips from some different audio visualizations. I think some of these are really neat, the third one in particular. The first one is a really good example of how you can mesh controlled and non controlled factors.

This next video is another example of intricate and varied art of this kind can be. It's also a really cool blend of controlled and "randomized" factors. I really liked this video because it doesn't really rely on colors as much as other audio visualizers do. The shapes and shadows are also a really cool aspect of this video.

Cool Effects
So at the beginning of the semester we did a little audio visualizer animation that was based on the levels of the bass and treble. Here is an example of an audio visualizer that is much more complicated than that:
Thats pretty cool. But this is way cooler.
This is a tutorial that shows how to have a frozen in time effect. This effect can have varying levels of difficulty. You need to make a way to have a camera do identical motions. This can be very difficult but there are many ways to do it. The tutorial has a specific device that does this. Next you take multiple shots with the camera going in the same motion with just the actors in different places. Then you simply mask over the shots to combine them in After Effects. If you don't need to add any 3D elements that are not in the original shots then you are done. If you do then you need to go into 3D programs and add them. I get lost at that point but from this tutorial I could make a cool freeze frame that would look pretty cool.
