humbly requesting falling random circles

[Bradfo69]

Yes but... I believe there is a certain "technique" to that mashing not all of us possess.

For those of us that are not able to make SELEM this year, is there anyone that can record swamidog mashing buttons?
I don't care if it's buttons for the soda machine. If swamidog is mashing it, I want to see it.

it is a much less interesting process than you imagine...

and now back to work to finish my next show before SELEM!

Coming up next: TED talk with swami about mashing buttons until pretty light comes out

[swamidog]

send me a PM tomorrow if you don't have this sorted. i'm up to my elbows working on a show for SELEM, but i can take a break to make some bubbles.

[White-Light]

Wow that's very clever Swami.

I think I can see how its been done but its your use of colour effect that really impresses as its this in my opinion that really makes these bubbles and not just flat circles.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm seeing 2 cues the background "dots" and the foreground bubbles. The bubbles cue is made up of an envelope containing multiple instances of a circle with each individual circle with an oscillating zoom effect applied and a slightly different X, Y position co-ordinate effect applied. In addition you then have a colour effect containing multiple gradient colours including black which you've used in such a way as to add 3d perspective. You've also shifted the colour in some instances so it appears further round the circles.

The background cue has slow anti-clockwise rotation applied and the foreground bubble cue as a whole (all the elements in the envelope) has a faster clockwise rotation applied.

I see the zoom is quite clever as it zooms at an angle so not just in the Z axis but Y at the same time.

Like I said before though the really clever bit is the colour usage and the fact that you even thought of how to do it like this. I would never have thought about that which is probably why my shows are naff in comparison.

Top notch work!

Hi All,

Thank you all for taking the time to help me. I got it sorted out.
The project was changed in the last minute and for the new "idea" didn't require custom artwork.

I'm trying to upload video on youtube, to share the show with you guys. However, being deep inside a forest, the network isn't perfect to say the least.
It's a outdoor festival in a forest where I was hired to make a video projection and some additional laser stuff. The video projection is based on 12 rebuild Casios driven by a raspberry pi controlled via artnet.

I'l post a link when the video is done uploading.
