Check out Cool new Music Video Made with Studio Artist For The Diving Bell
Studio Artist user Victor Ingrassia recently completed a music video called “China, My China” for the group “The Diving Bell”. “The Diving Bell” is out of Seattle, and the song and associated video were released on FIN Records. Check out the video Victor had this to say about the new music video. “I’ve been working on it since last November. I was able to work in 1080p using SA4, FCPX & Motion5. 95% of the content was created in Studio Artist 4. I used Motion 5 for some graphic elements as well as to make the blossom snow. Final Cut Pro X was where I composited and edited it. The speed of the new iMac, along with how sweet Studio Artist runs on the Intel processor, combined with FCPX’s background rendering allowed me to work experimentally and intuitively… often tossing material back and forth between Studio Artist, Final Cut & Motion. I was able to explore dangerous paths that would have wasted time I didn’t have, were I still using my old G5 tower. I worked mostly from found and stock footage using a combination of auto rotoscope and hand drawing. I had a great time making this and stretching my Studio Artist skill set.” I really like that the Fin Records label was inspired by Black Sparrow Press, Charles Bukowski’s publisher. Fin Records and the group are premiering the new music video this weekend at SXSW. Victor is a master at manipulating Studio Artist video processing effects, and has a ton of great Studio Artist processed video examples on both his web site and his vimeo site.
Circuit Board Paint Effect
Today’s post take a quick look at how you can use the paint synthesizer’s tiling features in combination with the AntiAlias Solid Brush Type to generate abstract ‘circuit board’ paint effects.
Truchet Overlay Vectorizer Abstraction Effect
Today’s post looks at the details associated with building a multi-pass vectorizer overlay source image abstraction effect.
Simple Vector Paint Strategy
Today’s post shows how to use a single vector paint preset to build up a simple but interesting paint style. We’ll show how the paint preset was built, and gain some insight into the underlying paint strategy defined by the paint synthesizer programing used to build up the final image.
Vector Color Line Screen Effect
Today’s post will show off how to combine the Line Screen Regionize image operation with the Vectorizer to create a vector color line screen effect.
Vector Paint Blob Splashes – Building Better Source Representation
Yesterday we showed how to configure the paint synthesizer to build vector paint blobs that simulate splashing paint. Today we’ll extend yesterday’s abstract paint effect to build a finished painting that is more representational of the source image.
Vector Paint Blob Splashes
Today’s post takes a look at how to configure the paint synthesizer to generate vector paint blobs that simulate splashing paint.
Color Woodcut Effect
Yesterday we showed how to put together a vector paint preset that generated a black and white woodcut simulation effect. Today we’ll show another approach to building a woodcut simulation, this time in color. This particular woodcut effect is put together so that individual wood cut paint strokes don’t overlap any other paint strokes with additional spacing between them to better simulate a hand drawn woodcut styling.
Vector File Output from the Paint Synthesizer : Part 4
We’ve been running a series of posts over the last few days that show off different techniques to use that allow you to output vector file effects using the paint synthesizer (and vectorizer). We showed 2 different approaches you can take to build vector paint effects in the paint synthesizer. We also showed the difference between using the paint synthesizer to automatically generate paint paths on the fly during auto-painting, vs building up a pre-designed bezier path frame (with various Path menu commands) and then painting that in using a vector paint preset. Today, we will show an alternative approach to automatically building up a bezier path sketch using image operation effects. The automatically generated bezier paths will then be painted in with vector paint, with the end goal of outputting a vector file of the finished sketch, which allows for resolution independent printing of the vector sketch effect.
Vector File Output from the Paint Synthesizer : Part 3
Today’s post will continue our discussion of different approaches one can use to generate vector file output from Studio Artist. Over the last few days we’ve talked about using the vectorizer to output vector art, and 2 different approaches to working with the paint synthesizer to generate vector painting and associated vector file output. Today we’ll look at combining together the vectorizer and vector painting in a PASeq. We’ll also look at an alternative approach to building up a painting, which involves generating a set of bezier paths derived from the source image and then painting them in using the paint synthesizer. So the bezier paths associated with a painting are generated by using various Path menu commands and then painted in with the paint synthesizer, as opposed to normal auto-painting where the paint synthesizer is generating paint paths on the fly as well as painting them in.
