end of distress

I finally managed to figure which software would be the best for Veejaying, mind you, I need it to be user friendly. Earlier I have managed to get a copy of max msp, the mere sight of the interface freaked me out, the platform was so complicated I couldn't even deal with opening a canvas and start doing anything! nothing...
So today, I found out on this website: http://thetechnofile.com/2010/01/12/the-technofile-awards-2010/225/ that the best VJing software for 2010 was Resolume Avenue 3.
I downloaded the trial version, and here we are, with a decent platform! something familiar! no patches and code work!
I already tried a bit, I am managing, by the time the show comes, I would be pro in this hopefully!



objects indoor outdoor





























I took some pictures with my iPhone camera, downloaded and played around 2 of them. Lately thinking how to combine indoors and outdoors objects. These 2 photographs will not be used in the final project, they're just here for the combination created.


filtering some of the notes

My aim at this stage is to create an autobiographical universe.

This will be achieved on one level through a travel between the different houses that I have live in, not all of them, but mainly the ones that were the most significant. On another, through objects of transitional nature, the powder milk tin container that my grandmother used to recycle into a plant pot.

For the houses, the different facades will be combined into one big facade, cubically stitched and using the camera tool in after effects, I will be traveling through the different facets of the cube, each facet carrying a photograph of one of the houses.
