.Has anyone seen any really GOOD live video mixing? I mean, I've seen
.it done with fades and blends, dolphins mixing with astronauts, y'know,
.like the Orb video, but once you've seen the same imagery a dozen times
.with the same editing and colour effects, it just doesn't seem all that
.intriguing (is that spelled correctly?) any longer.
What I would like to see is someone who does live mixing
of computer graphics. I think that you could do a lot in
real time if you rendered parts of the performance
beforehand and primarily relied on the computer to do
placement and image selection in real time.
You could key various events off MIDI leads taken off
the live performers equipment or off the actual sound
of their performance (some fractal programs and plasma
globes do this).
Read my next post for an unrelated topic that I almost
added to the end of this post...
