Here's a short video that I've been working on - inspired by Metaphorest's Ravens record. This was my first attempt at rotoscoping. I had to remake marcellepallais' hair, I hope I did her justice. I've been playing around a lot with the coloring, and I think I'll increase the contrast and bring out the blues a bit more.

I built and animated the the wings and birds from dgroeneman's "feather drawing" and sojushots' "winter tui". I've uploaded some pre-keyed high-res image sequences of the flying birds, and flapping wings as resources for remixability.

Ideally when I'm done, I'd like the video to span the entire song. I welcome feedback on where to go from here.

Cheers!

i had so much fun preparing this / making this / setting this up.

i wanted to show some of the great work that has been produced, but also not give too much away. i didn't particularly describe any of the work on the walls because i feel that it will intrigue people more and let them come to the site and discover this world on their own. i tried to keep it as simplified as possible, but still with a lot to look at. and it has indeed been capturing people's attention. we've had sold out shows so far this weekend and everyone has been stopping and looking/reading/watching. it's really quite exciting.

the idea with the linked resources was kind of just to give an impression of how many different people and ideas make one thing. and that really it is always on going.

the projections run on loop the entire time the cinema is open. and with the changing of light throughout the day the colours and visuals change too.

every piece on the wall has a tiny label with the name of the record and the collaborators user name, so they can be looked up.

i hope i've done us hitrecorders proud and that you all enjoy this...and if you live nearby then please ome and see it!

love <3

ps...if you do want to/can make the exhibition, drop me an email or a facebook or a tweet, whatever, to let me know, just so i can actually be there to say hello!

I feel many hitrecorders have a circus spirit.<3

i guess it is somewhat a flag of sorts.. but more of a united form of words, coming together to declare what hitrecord is all about? :D
