@kandid @hesselschut oh thank you and followed!
Btw here’s a #slitscan scene from my Glitch Anitmated Documentary called
EVERYTHING IS FINE NOBODY IS HAPPY

@gonzoart13 For Glitch, i follow these tags: #glitch #databending. I'm not sure if there's a dedicated server for Glitch.

#Trichrome technique dates back to the era of analog photography. Digital simulation of this effect looks often like Glitch.

The things I've posted over the last few days are based on #Slitscan technique. That's not very common. @hesselschut consistently publishes slit-scan images and animations.

@anja Um Videos zu editieren verwende ich seit Jahren Kdenlive. Aber mein Wissen über Sound Bearbeitung ist gering. Folglich habe dann auch kaum Ansprüche an die Sound Unterstützung im Video Editor.

Meine unterschiedlichen Workfows für Videos habe etwas gemeinsam. Es entstehen Serien von Einzelbildern. Dann reicht auch FFmpeg um daraus einen Film - ohne Sound - zu erzeugen.

Dies ist ein solches Beispiel:
original Film -> #slitscan Algorithmus -> FFmpeg
Man müsste es nachträglich vertonen.

@wtrmt I had written two different programs to create a slit-scan film from original footage. However, so far it has remained at the experimental stage. In terms of processing power and memory requirements, it is even more demanding than the film-to-still process.

But in my opinion, the real problem is the aesthetics. Procedural methods that produce convincing results in a still image do not work well visually in the film-to-film process.

@wtrmt This type of #slitscan is done as a post process. Converting a movie (x/y/time data) into a single image.

First I'm recording the footage. High frame rate (60 – 240 frames per second) and low or medium resolution (1280x720 or 1920x1080 pixel). Using a second hand iPhone 8 or a X100VI camera.

The effect is created using this open-source software. https://gitlab.com/metagrowing/slitscan It is very computationally intensive.

This 4 images were created from the same film. Only using different algorithms.
