Shilo colpisce ancora. L’ultima produzione della compagnia Californiana accompagna alla lettera il nuovo singolo dei BrotherSister, “Still Run”, drammatica cavalcata in paesaggi sconvolti che si sussuegono e si confondono l’un l’altro. Sotto la direzione creativa di André Stringer, fondatore e direttore creativo di Shilo, è stata così creata l’identità visuale dell’album “The Wunder Tales” che declina la suggestione apocalittica anche sull’artwork di copertina e sul sito web. Il video, presentato in anteprima all’ultimo F5, mixa fotografia ed elementi 3d in una sapiente post-produzione che accentua l’aspetto “sognante” del paesaggio creato. “Dopo aver ascoltato l’album – dichiara Chris Fung di Shilo – ci siamo innanorati dei tratti poetici di questa canzone in particolare, ed abbiam deciso di metter su un video che esplorasse l’idea di perserverenza a dispetto dei cambiamenti e delle avversità. E’ lo stesso brano a suggerire una perfetta simbiosi tra un’atmosfera tesa e complessa ed un irremovibile ritmo calzante”.
Lo stesso testo, in effetti, è una dichiarazione d’intenti: I still run, I still run, I still wander. In our day, everyday, we would wander. And I want to go, were nobody moves.

I would like to create new layer with one still made as average of pixel value for all comp.
I guess there could be script to do this or maybe someone knows very similar script I could use for the purpose.
so, if there would be only 10 frames, it would take the intensity of all pixels, average all of (1,1) pixels in all 10 frames and use this RGB value for (1,1) pixel of this new still layer.
I can’t really imagine, who would ever need this kind of function, except me, but never know…. And I need to do it for comps with hundreds frames, ideally quite automatically.
Thanks!
