Headline Tag: Short Films Rating: Amazing Hits: 849 Comments: 1 timeRemapExportHD timeRemapExportHD A new experiment with time remap. In fact just changed the cam : it was filmed with a Canon 7D at 60fps, making it really more smooth ! it was recorded as a funny pause while working on the performance "Cinematique" (vimeo.com/amcb/cinematique20)... but this short dance is actually not in the show. You can try it in real time in an exhibition called XYZT (vimeo.com/amcb/xyzt21). It's made with a custom Quartz Composer plug-in that transform a video stream in a 3D texture. It can run at 60fps live at lower resolution (512x512) Music from Beirut © cie Adrien M User: runarounddead Nov 11, 2012 11:51 AM
