I plan to have other effects along with this too. My Cokin star filter would probably look good on the corners. I'm trying to get a little more randomness into my cues to make them look less perfect. It's been stated many times that computer abstracts have a "perfect" feel to them. This video should have been longer but the battery in my camera died.
that looks great. i tend to (mostly) avoid music driven effects because it's hard to get them to respond exactly how i want them and the effect turns into visual noise. yours aren't suffering from that problem.
i know the theory of computer driven abstracts being too "perfect", but it's really quite easy to add a little random whatever to the abstract or stacked sine wave modulation exponents for a lovely organic feel. it's just an aesthetic based on the imperfections of unstable analog equipment. no different than tube amps vs. solid state.
make the abstracts that please you the most and make them melty.
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
