Playing Rob Jackson's original Moodscaper with photos of late Autumn leaves

The leaves photographed on one of my daily walks along my usual paths with my old but faithful Panasonic Lumix G1.

Last vestiges

  1. Remnants of the Past: It indicates the last, often small, parts of something that was once larger, stronger, or more important.
  2. Examples: The "last vestiges" of a colonial past, or the "last vestiges of hope".
  3. Physical Remains: It can refer to tangible, surviving fragments, such as ruins.
  4. Example: A few columns were the "last vestiges" of a temple.
  5. Idiomatic Uses: It is used to describe the final, weakening hold on a concept, such as "clinging to the last vestiges of power".

No AI used in the construction of the video, just my own photographs plus DAZ3D model Cora Thwaites.





Video slideshow rural pickings with a camera or what takes my eye

About ten minutes away from where I live is some quite nice countryside. I walk around and take pics of what I find just to please myself. I thought it was about time to include some of them into a video or slideshow.

Some are out of camera one is using my own technique of 'only black' another uses a 'paint' filter. There are lanes, field roads, close ups, a village through some trees and their leaves and some Pine trees in a soft light.

I used Rob Jackson's iPad app 'pianoscaper' for the ambient audio track, through a stereo Behringer UCA222 USB audio interface to a laptop running the Tracktion Waveform 13 DAW and out of that through the Valhalla Super Massive plugin with my altered EQ version of Libre Bloom.





A short video for a post-apocalyptic time capsule, Cora Thwaites in rural ballet poses. Cora is a DAZ3D G3F model created by Adam Thwaites in Scarborough. She can be posed right down to her individual finger joints, as an amateur ballet dancer I can arrange her quite close to some of the famous ballet poses. She always tums up, is never late and will gladly attempt any pose.

I made this for a video art call;

OPEN CALL
Movies for the Apocalypse comes to SET Vault in May 2024 for 3 curated evenings of films on the theme of the apocalypse.

Curators Agatha Scaggiante and Gisela Mulindwa are selecting short films for a post-apocalyptic time capsule, to show people of the future what our lives were like before the (maybe) impending Big Collapse. They are accepting short film proposals (under 20 min) of any genre under the theme which is encouraged to be creatively interpreted.

My idea was to create scenes with Cora posing in the English countryside odd bits in it to show the deterioration that might occur to the scenes.





A portrait emerging from the trees, closed eyes and concentration.
No one knows about the thoughts behind the pose.

At the end of the video is a photo of the simple audio equipment used to make the drone/ambient sound track
The audio gear from the top; PC with Tracktion Waveform 13 Using Adam Szabo's Solaris set to Smooth Shimmer. Both programs are floating so that I can  see the video while making the audio track. Then a passive mixer, a Behringer JT-4000M and the original Monotron.
