Zoom Session 7

A Little Confession – Before I begin to document our zoom session from this week I have a little confession to make.  I heard someone say that this was zoom session six.  I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that this week’s session was zoom session seven.  The reason I’m so sure is because each week I take the time to draw myself a little zentangle.  I counted up my zentangles and I have seven.  Therefore I think this week is week seven, but of course I may be wrong. As we were discussing ‘active listening’ I thought that now was probably a really good time to ‘fess’ up to my little ongoing drawing activity. I thoroughly enjoy our zoom sessions, I feel it’s a time for me to learn as opposed to teaching, which as a lecturer is a nice concept.  When I’m listening I enjoy drawing.  Since I seem to be mainly locked in a digital world at the moment, it brings just a small dose of the physical into my weekly meeting.  I also find it very relaxing and for some strange reason it seems to help me concentrate more.   I set myself a few […]

Liquid Glass

A Touch Designer Tutorial – I know that time is against me if I want to become proficient at ‘Touch Designer’. Therefore, whenever I have an opportunity to experiment with a new tutorial I take it.  I also like to give a time-lapsed visual record of the time that I spend on projects like this.  I am particularly interested in time and I’m hoping that these time-lapse videos will make an interesting addition to my project work.   A 35 Second Time-lapse of a 1.5 Hour Tutorial       The Result of the Tutorial Now that the network design has been finalised, I am able to tweak numerous parameters in order to arrive at a result that I’m happy with.  Below is the final result once I made all of my adjustments.         Variation of a Theme Once I have created a base video, I always like to experiment further.  Below is a variation on the video above.  However, I do prefer the original above.  The liquid glass effect is much more vibrant and there are less distracting elements.  I still think that the experiment below was worth a try even though I don’t think it […]

Chladni Patterns Revisited

Further Experimentation with the Chladni Kit – As I’m interested in hidden phenomena such as sound vibrations I wanted to shoot some footage showing how these could be visualised.  I purchased a Chladni kit, but I had missed some fundamental assembly instructions in the manual.  This was probably on of the main issues holding me back from making more sound patterns.  The creator of the kit on seeing my time-lapse videos kindly pointed this out to me and I made the necessary changes.   I believe that as a direct result of these changes I managed to make another pattern. While making the new pattern it was fascinating to watch the grains of sand as they vibrated up and down on the plate. I tried to capture this as best as I could, but unfortunately my light levels were too low.  The video piece I created is below.  Please note this is a very early experiment and I shall be re-shooting this with greatly increased light levels and a much higher frame rate.  The increased light levels will allow me to increase my depth of field so more grains of sand appear sharp and in focus.  The higher frame rate […]

Network Patterns

Surprising Results  – I was quite pleased with the results of my Blender computer generated Chladni Patterns.  However, just as the title to this blog suggests the end results may not necessarily have been the most interesting part. In order to generate the patterns in Blender I needed to create a network.  I found this tentacle-like network (almost like neurones) quite fascinating. I cover the network diagram in my post ‘Blender – Who Knew?’  Following on from this I decided to ‘stylise’ the network and from there I created some patterns.   A Stylised Network     Patterns Created From The Stylised Network A Collage of These Ideas Below is a collage of these images together with the original stylised image at the top.  This is purely an experiment and I will save these designs for later as they may prove useful in future projects.
