A new experiment with time remap. In fact just changed the cam : it was filmed with a Canon 7D at 60fps, making it really more smooth ! it was recorded as a funny pause while working on the performance "Cinematique" (vimeo.com/9234516)... but this short dance is actually not in the show. It's made with a custom Quartz Composer plug-in that transform a video stream in a 3D texture. It can run at 60fps live at lower resolution (512x512) Music from Beirut © cie Adrien M Cast: Adrien Mondot... (more)
