As we were sittin around in chat last nite, i turned a few of the guys onto Animusic. Its an excellent collaboration of digital music with digital
video. Heres one of the vids they put out for the public, even let ATI use it to demo their vid cards a couple years ago. If you enjoy this video,
(and im pretty sure you will) goto Animusic.com and purchase the dvd's for your home use. They even make great
gifts for the friends and family. I hope i did this embed thing correctly.
If the embed doesnt work, heres the link to the video.
I am in no way affiliated with the animusic guys, just a fan of their stuff. The pipedream video is public domain released about 2 years ago to gain
popularity.
PBS is where i first seen it too spacedoubt. I was sittin there thinkin, man that is the kewlest. Wonder what it is, then on the screen fades in the
animusic logo. From that moment on i was all over it. Buying the first DVD and now just ordered the second. The work is truly amazing.
I agree Animusic is very cool.
I think the coolest aspect of it is the fact that all the animation is actually controlled by MIDI interface with the music being played. Instead of
having to manually key each ball's launch, the note and the assigned instrument sound told the software when and where to "fire" the
ball.
I don't know how much you may or may not know about animation, but I think this is way cool. It would take me years to keyframe all those
balls correctly.
