Using Vizzie to generate visuals is a magical experiment. In accomplishing this assignment, I tried incorporating blocks from each categorization, which helped me better understand their different functions. The general idea of the patch is to create two video inputs with INPUT, transform and filter either of them through EFFECT, TRANSFORMER, GENERATOR, then finally layer the two using MIX-COMPOSITE.
Between the first player under INPUT and the crossfader under MIX-COMPOSITE, I insert a resampler and a toner with the toner being controlled by a randomizer that changes the value over a specific period of time. Before the second player and the crossfader, I insert a downsampler controlled by a twister, then a kaleidoscope effect controlled by an attractor. While the resampler and the downsampler alter the original videos’ shape and texture, the randomizer and the attractor induce constant changes to the values of each effect. My intention for the assignment is to filter the original videos heavily and generate the visuals based on altering the pixels. The practice helps me better understand how Vizzie works and what it can do.
