An Interactive 3D / motion music video installation by James Lashmar

Throughout my time at University, I have continued to learn motion, animation and 3D design amongst other things. I also have a very keen interest in music and I love exploring the link between sound and visuals. When writing my dissertation, I explored the history of music video and discussed the idea of it becoming a ‘hot media’. I also explored the idea of holism within music. Holism is the theory that a whole, is greater than the sum of all its parts. Regarding Deleuze, contingent holism suggests multiple forms of holism.

Music contains multiple instances of holism in the form of genres, with each genre having different conditions around its own emergence and also possible sub genres. fourScreen is my final project which is an installation exploring holism with music using a visual interactive experience.

This project essentially builds on my dissertation, which can be found here : scribd.com/doc/91366611/James-Lashmar-The-Evolution-of-Music-Video . The interactive aspect of this allows the user to participate in the music video itself allowing the music video to become a 'hot' media. The way that the viewer is displayed live in the music video occurs at almost an atomic level, displaying the user in a system of squares, further expanding on the holistic concept.

Created using Processing, Cinema4d, Premiere, After Effects, Soundbooth, Mocha Pro and Ableton Live.
The project in total came in at just under 82,000 frames at 5120x720, that's 4x wider than 720p HD!
Usage rights to 'Circling' have been granted by Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet for usage of the track in this project.

Talent and install filmed myself using a Canon 5D MKII with a 50mm 1:4 lens and a Nikon D7000 with a 10-24mm 1:3.5-4.5 lens.

Adjusting Hue with GSVideo?

Hi guys!

Suppose i'll start with an overview of my project.....

So, i'm making a music video that is 4xwider than 720p. This is split up into 4x720 video clips and will be played on 4 imacs using processing with one imac being the server and the others being clients which play the video after hitting 'p' on the servers keyboard. The video is split using after effects into .mp4's which are then transferred to each corresponding imac so that the full video spans appropriately.

To add to this i am wanting to use the iSights on the imacs using camera tracking to adjust the hue of these videos as people are walking past, so say if someone walks to the right the video is pushed more to blue and if they walk left its is pushed more to green maybe. Returning to the default hue when no movement is detected or movement is out of a certain range.

I am using the GSVideo library but i'm having trouble tapping into adjusting the hue. The camera tracking and network connectivity are all sorted and already coded, it is just a case of figuring out how to affect the hue of the videos that are being played.

This is all i have so far in my attempt....anybody any suggestions please?
1. import codeanticode.gsvideo.*;
  GSPlayer video;
  int off=0;
  PImage img;
  PrintWriter output;
  
  void setup() {
      size(1280,720);
      video = new GSPlayer(this, "video.mp4", GSVideo.RAW);
      video.loop();
      video.volume(0);
  
      img = createImage(1280,720,RGB);
  }
  
  void playerEvent(GSPlayer player) {
  player.read();
  }
  
  void draw() {
  
  if (video.data != null) {
  // println("Data size: " + video.data.length);
     // println("Data caps: " + video.dataCaps);
  
      img.loadPixels();
      byte[] data = video.data;
      for (int i = 0; i < img.pixels.length; i++) {
      // img.pixels[i] = color(data[i], data[i+156300], data[i+212600]); //These values are found emperically
  
  //   int b = int(data[3 * i + 0]);
        // int g = int(data[3 * i + 1]);
      // int r = int(data[3 * i + 2]);
  //       int a = int(data[4 * i + 3]);
  //     img.pixels[i] = color(r, g, b);
  
  
     // img.pixels[i] = color(data[i], data[i+156300], data[i+212600]); //These values are found emperically
     // img.pixels[i] = img.pixels[((img.pixels.length)-1)-i]; //These values are found emperically
  
  img.pixels[i] = color(data[i], data[i], data[i]);
  
  
      }
      img.updatePixels();
      image(img, 0, 0, width, height);
  
  }
  off++;
  if(off>255) off=0;
  }
