Belated LIPP Week 3: Continued Interface

Sorry for the belated homework, my computer bricked last week.

This week I wanted to continue with two things I’ve been enjoying: scissors and glue and chromakeying/looping videos, plus glitching them together. I don’t really have a coherent performance idea, so I’m just playing around with things I enjoy for now.

I was able to build a bigger scissors and glue interface, and get some interesting chromakey stuff working, but my framerate is slowing to a crawl whenever I load a second video, which shows up in both videos.

For my performance, I’m hoping I can get these things sorted out so that it works a bit better, but I’m at least having fun with what I’ve done thus far. I added gates to be able to mix each video in to every section (basically, feed the chromakeyed video to the matrix controller and vice versa) but I’m wondering if I’ve created a few too many data loops. I’m also going to try compressing my video further to see if that helps.
