EXPERIMENTAL

Here, I attempted to create digital drone shots using Google Earth Studio, capturing footage over Basel. I love this city. It's the nearest big city to where I live, and I have countless memories tied to it. I tried to bring in the feeling I have walking through the city and thinking about the memories. For the nostalgic feeling I used different filters and overlays to get the CRT TV look. This look also helped conceal the fact that this isn't real drone footage. By reducing detail, it looks more realistic because you don't see as much details which you would need to determine if the footage is real or not. Pretty much the same technic used for all these fake UFO, alien and ghost sighting videos you see distributed around the internet.

This is almost the same as my Basel video. I also used Google Earth Studio to create a Droneshot and then manipulated the footage to the point where it had the CRT TV look. But this time I only used 1 orbital shot of Memphis. I used Memphis because it is home to Phonk. The Genre of the music I used in this Video. It's a little homage to this Genre and the city.

Here you can see the thumbnail I've made for Instagram for my animated Spaceengine video. I liked it so much that I then made an animated version of the thumbnail. I really made this for nothing because I don't know any place where you can upload animated thumbnails. But I still like it.

This is a really old video which I made in Adobe After Effects. I've had a plugin which made automatic keyframes based on the frequency. You could output a span from number x to number z for a frequency spectrum you determine. I used these keyframes then for the value of the distortion. Then I put on some more layers which get distorted differently by different frequencies. The other things I've done to the video are not that interesting or self-explanatory. I've chosen this comic because I thought it fits perfectly to the project and music.

The title of this video are the coordinates of Basel where I recorded the footage for this video on my phone as I walked home to the train station at 8 a.m. after a night out raving with my friends. Back at home I've imported the footage into Adobe After Effects and changed some settings to achieve a nice contrasty black and white color correction. Then I've made an alternative version with the blacks and whites switched and some other minor changes. Next, I needed to determine the BPM of the song I chose for this project, then write a small JavaScript code to switch between the two alternative versions of my color corrections at every beat. After having everything working in sync, I started to manipulate individual pixels based on their color values with the Omino Diffusion Plugin. I've made this for every clip individually and worked a lot with keyframes to have dynamic distortions which I could control. The control was needed to manually sync up my footage even further to more complex parts than just the 4 on the floor beat which I've automated already. I wanted to make a video for this song for a long time as it was one of my favorite techno songs since it came out in 2016. All of my videos really only make sense with music on, but this one really only makes sense when watched with music on. So feel free to click on the video above to get to the video with sound and have fun.

This was an experiment where I tried to record lightning with my BMPCC6K. I then mirrored the footage I took and manually synced the lightning with the music. After that, I added text and experimented with the blending modes so the text would light up with the bright flash and remain invisible in the dark.

Idk what to say about this one. I just recorded a Random Ferrari and Nissan GT-R while we were driving home from a hike. I made this video simply because I found the song hilarious, especially when the rapper becomes impossible to understand at one point.
