The Physical Value of Sound

Yuri Suzuki is currently holding his first solo show at the Clear Gallery in Tokyo, Japan, titled The Physical Value of Sound. The exhibit houses a number of interactive pieces in which visitors can experiment with the physicality of vinyl records in order to produce new sounds and physical forms.

With the lost of their physicality, objects become virtual existences. The reason why I have a feeling of uneasiness towards sound recorded in a digital format, is because the digital data of sound is nothing more than a virtual copy of the existing original,’ says Suzuki.”

What is the best way to learn Flame before hopping on a system?

Hey there,
I’m a young compositor who’s learning the ropes through some FXPHD courses on Nuke and Fusion. I’m going into an internship in June (my first real work experience!!) and the facility that I’m going to be in is using Flame systems. Now, although I’m doing clerical work and making coffee for my time here, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping to stick it out and ultimately work there. C’mon, how can you beat working on a Flame?? Before I start my internship, I really want to harness some general knowledge about Flame, and since I don’t have 10 or 20 grand to spend, I was curious if there’s a good enough way to understand the basics and UI on a Flame so I can go in being semi-proficient and understanding of what I’m observing and learning while I’m there. I’ve heard that Combustion has a similar layout? Is the UI 100% different from the more ‘feature film’ oriented compositing software like Nuke, Shake, etc.?

Snow Patrol: The Lightning Strike live visuals

Gary Lightbody, cantante dei Snow Patrol, ha avuto l’idea per l’animazione di 16 minuti in HD come sfondo visivo da proiettare durante il tour mondiale del 2009 mentre il gruppo suona il brano epico The Lightning Strike.

Il pluripremiato regista di live visuals Blue Leach, della Splinter Films (che ha lavorato con i Depeche Mode, R.E.M., Linkin Park), ha chiamato Chris Richmond della Atticus Finch alla direzione creativa, per realizzare l’idea del musicista nel rappresentare il mondo e l’universo come origami. La squadra di animatori della Atticus Finch ha svilluppato lo stile della modellazione e texturing prendendo spunto dalla copertina dell’ultimo album del gruppo A Hundred Million Suns.

In poco più di tre mesi sono stati realizzati 24.000 frames da essere proiettati all’inizio della Tournée su uno schermo di 18 per 12 metri e poi su dei giganti schermi LED. L’animazione è stata creata interamente in 3d usando Autodesk Softimage con compositing in After Effects.
