Earlier in the week I saw micro.blogger Dan Cohen’s newsletter: Humane Ingenuity 36: 15% Faster<\/a> which linked to DHQ: Digital Humanities Quarterly: Deformin’ in the Rain: How (and Why) to Break a Classic Film<\/a><\/p>\n

Jason Mittell provides an extremely creative, occasionally bizarre, frequently hilarious, and ultimately rather helpful \u201cinventory of deformative practices\u201d to uncover hidden layers of meaning in media.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article provides a pile of great gifs and distorted videos.<\/p>\n

I’ve played around with this sort of thing before montages<\/a>, gifsets<\/a> and the like<\/a>. Mostly DS106 inspired.<\/p>\n

One idea I’d kept playing with is layering<\/a> of images. My plan had been to layer a sequence into a movie, I’d never really got it going smoothly. I mostly just run a photo set through a script to get 1000s of images and choose a few interesting ones.<\/p>\n

I usually use a few commandline tools for this, imagemagick & ffmpeg but there was a rather nice idea of using the StarStaX<\/a> app an application for Star Trail Photography. I loaded it up with 90 odd jpgs images from a walk and merged them. I then stitched them together with ffmpeg and added some audio “Mysterious Ethereal Song” by theojt<\/a> :<\/p>\n

Not exactly a work of art but fun, I also learnt how to fade a video with ffmpeg<\/a> which might be useful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
