Sabbatical

As of yesterday, I am officially on sabbatical. As part of my Spring '23 sabbatical, I will be spending two months in Columbus, Ohio, as a Visiting Fellow at the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) at The Ohio State University. I wil be working on an interactive Virtual Reality (VR) experience on the theme of enticing and luring, attention grabbing, and having to give something up when we give in to the attraction.

Light Play (Vicious Cycles #3)

It took a while, but I finally finished the third 3D printed animation in my Vicious Cycles series. Here is a trailer:
 

Vicious Cycles #3 Coming Soon

I think I may actually be done shooting for the third installment in my Vicious Cycles Series.

Working kind of backwards, above is the last setup in my basement, for the opening scene

Did I say last setup? I needed one more: an effects shot. Setup shown above. This maybe five second shot took seven tries and almost two days to complete.

Now on to post!

UlikeMe

While preparing for a new VR project that will use some of the ideas and techniques developed for UlikeMe, I cam across a test I never published. Here it is with freshly added sound, and an old analogue synthesizer tune by Wobmusic.
 

Made a Move

Only a few days ago I posted about my intent to record a camera move as a test for Vicious Cycles #3. It turned out well and might actually make it into the animation.
