Selections from video in development, 2023
World As Is/ audio
Video Engine Again/ Draft_1 / w/ audio
This is a work in progress with unresolved elements. It's another example of a vision for the Cymatic Architecture movement in combination with other divergent media.
Cymatic studies with Eric Buchner/ Works in progress—-
JZ:
-produce
Concept of “visualizer” …sound reactivity and worrking w/ stems?
-absolute cohesion between Digital effects and practical effects.
“…riding the threshold of digital effects…”
“…the Band-Aid approach..”
… starting with “breaking the loops”
-a light touch… more effects applied subtly, than fewer effects applied dramatically—-relation to sound
-making ”fluids of fluids” or “…we have a fluid skin for additional fluid effects”
-depth distortion w/ new lighting (gradient map?)
-targeted versus blanketed effects
Finishing:
“Breaking the symmetry”
“orientation free” (all cops work vertical or horizontal)
-4K to be finished in 1080 (or other?) to allow scale / position / rotation / distortion, etc, and breaking of symmetry of comps “breaking the mirror effect”
-cutting/ cross- fading with 4K lock-down shot
-final color correction
Reverse Process:
Renaissance Of Intimacy:
Drift Dome/ Draft_1 / w/ audio
This draft is perhaps 70-90% finished. A vision for the completion of this work includes the addition of a depth mask, camera moves and any number of fluid and particle effects, caustics. etc, which are triggered by audio and interact with the landscape.
Protoucher/ Draft_1 / w/ audio
This draft is also perhaps 70-90% finished. This “video- screen- like” composition is a good example of architecture which may serve well as a stylized format for the addition of divergent, narrative or thematic forms.
MacroSpore_8
Animated sculpture with music and sound design.
Wasteland Skirmish (trailer)
Additional cymatic Studies/ Short clips/ (rough w/ no audio)
Work in progress… This starts with an overview of cymatic video capture, and leads into more developed work. Of this more developed work, Individual, short clips presented in this video constitute different landscapes or "scenes" for a movement of as many as 15-20 final works. At 4K resolution, the idea is that finals may be of lower resolution, allowing for recomposing, such as camera moves, pan/ zoom etc. within.
Concept for short film including unsightly, urban infrastructure as “Deceptibots”

COMING SOON: THEMES…
“Fighting the Wars Of The Future”
“strip mining”
“Credit Scores”
“waiting in line to buy new ways to pay”
“Meds”
