Thanks for this, Andrew, and if this inspires other folks to develop this more, I’d love to see the results / patches / code!įAk30ut Stylezzzz!!!! from andrew benson on Vimeo. I’m actually quite interested to see a performance comparison with OpenCV tools for the same technique – and, likewise, how computer vision routines in general can be warped to these sorts of aesthetic purposes. It all kinda happened by accident while I was distracted… Hope you enjoy. 1.4K 65K views 3 years ago VSDC Video Effects The datamoshing effect looks as if the video is self-destructing and starts to disappear right in front of your eyes. The idea came out of some R&D that I was doing for a current collaborative live video thing I’m working on, and the implementation from some random notes on websites scattered around the internets. Another excuse to dance in front of your computer, or a way to convince others to do so. I recently posted a couple of Jitter patches and shaders that implement a really basic optical-flow based distortion effect (think realtime datamosh, among others) on the Jitter forums: This is a Jitter patch, but would be simple enough to port to code for Processing, FreeFrameGL (which implements shader code), or other tools, too, in case you can’t bear being away from your moshness. (For a simpler example that looks more like the compression artifact technique we’ve seen recently, have a look at the second video – though, personally, I like the more sophisticated, layered approach of the video at top. Andrew Benson of Cycling ‘74 has only just begun playing with this in Jitter using GLSL shaders, and already the results are really compelling. Motion distortion 2 from andrew benson on Vimeo.ĭatamosh? (The “forbidden” but harmlessly meaningless word?) Video squishification? Mushy data?Ĭall it what you will, but applying real-time distortion and displacement to video so that video textures become flowing layers of pixels looks absolutely beautiful.
