It was invited by the Silpakorn University faculty of music to use my VJ skills again this year for the <a href="http://echoesofsilpakorn.wordpress.com/">Echoes Festival</a> at Bangkok Art and Culture Center. On the 5th of April, I was vijaying outdoor of Bangkok Art and Culture Center, improvising visuals with VJ Hype, one of my students. On the 6th of April, I was giving a similar duty but this time with a playlist, I knew exactly what was going to be played and the organizer gave me some visual suggestions to match the work of the student. The event was indoor this time, 15 experimental tracks performed by Silpakorn University. I was a bit frustrated by the fact that they requested a lot of footage from Bangkok and especially timelapse, I didn't want to rip other's people work, knowing that one of the best timelapse of Bangkok available on vimeo was shot by a <a href="http://vimeo.com/25576589">friend of mine</a>...</div>

While showing google street view to my girlfriend, a new function in Thailand, I wondered... what would happened if... I animated the damn thing? I looked at the challenge... a considerable amount of screen capture, a limited time (2 days), let see what I can do. I first try to locate some interesting spot in Bangkok: Bridges, highway, slum, etc... Then start to screen capture what I was doing, 30 minutes of capture, frame by frame for a 5 sec animation at 12 fps... my fingers starts to hurt after that. I guess using scripts could have facilitated the process, but well, I still find the result quite worth the work.<br />
I will post a video from the performance later on. But here are some of the video I played during the performance:<br />

<br /><br />
This is the third time I worked with The Standards but this time it was a slighly different task. The band wanted a music video that could reflect their band presence on stage. They came up with the ideas of mashing up footage from all their tour into one music video. While working on their footage I felt that the result would be stronger if I also shot some more footage.<br />

I went to Cosmic Cafe in December for one of their gig and shoot a few takes with a Panasonic AG-AF 100. These shots are important as most cameramen couldn't come too close on the stage, while I could. Editing was a bit challenging due to the different level of quality of the footage given but I definitely learn a new approach as I had around 7 hours of footage to cut down to 3 minutes and 40 sec...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03878475244223717119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737788782941121513.post-4183724812992462372012-01-07T12:39:00.000-08:002012-01-20T00:07:48.403-08:00Visuals for Ladytron live in Bangkok<iframe width="500" height="284" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_Pg5b7DBvnE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />

Dudesweet, a Bangkok based party and event organizer contacted me in november 2011 to design and play visuals for the band Ladytron. They came to play at LED club, RCA on the 7th of December 2011. For this project, I teamed with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thewetcarpet">the Wetcarpet studios</a>, another VJ collective I work often with.<br /><br />

<br /><br />
We decided that using the LED screen from the club was too bright and preferred to use projection instead. It was not an easy installation as we needed to install a screen behind the band with no budget.<br /><br />

We used my 12mx3m curtain that we fold 3 times and placed it right in front of the LED screen. We placed the projectors sideways and use a circle mask to hide the distortion from the projection.

From time to time we used the LED screen in the background, which could be seen as the curtain is semi-transparent. For the visuals we played a large array of mixed vintage videos with effects.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03878475244223717119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737788782941121513.post-38738704468098991312011-10-10T00:54:00.000-07:002012-01-20T00:56:16.253-08:00Vijaying for Delicate Decibel<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gabrielcamelin/6729843659/" title="290966_2409804085665_1268104625_2945009_1226021045_o by Gabriel Camelin, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7001/6729843659_6552dc892b.jpg" width="490" height="630" alt="290966_2409804085665_1268104625_2945009_1226021045_o"></a><br><br>
On the 8th of October 2011, I joined theWetCarpet studios for a VJ session for Delicate Decibel at Motorcycle Emptiness. Vijaying on different style of indie music, we set up a curtain to cover the stage and did a double projection on each side of the stage. We also set up 2 other projectors that we used as lightings on the performers. Similar to my previous music video, the semi-transparent fabric allows to receive lights and visuals as well as see through. This technique creates a strong sense of depth.

Most of our visuals that night were motion graphics, high contrast (with lots of blacks, allowing more transparency on the curtain) rather than my traditional selection of 60s-70s film, ads and scopitones.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03878475244223717119noreply@blogger.com0Bangkok, Thailand13.7234186 100.476231913.476614600000001 100.16037490000001 13.9702226 100.7920889tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737788782941121513.post-40581154033121376592011-09-10T00:16:00.000-07:002012-01-19T23:39:58.744-08:00Stylish Nonsense - Ninja<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/28265542?byline=0&portrait=0" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>

For my final project for my MA in visual communication with Birmingham City University, I decided to move on to something more challenging. I explored the potential of using live concert and performance techniques to strengthen Music Video as an interactive media. Being a part-time Vijay in clubs and concert, I found it quite challenging to work on such approach as both music video and vijaying are giving a visual representation of music.</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being aware of the existing barrier between concert videos and music videos, I had to find a way to combine live visual elements such as projection and interactive visuals, with more classic music video techniques such as rhythmic editing, split screen and multi-camera cinematography, techniques I explored in the first 2 stages of my MA.</div>

The final outcome of my project is a music video designed for the Thai indie band “Stylish Nonsense” using front projection on scrims and interactive lighting techniques.<br />

<br />
To get a more challenging result than a simple projection on background, I studied the use of scrims for front projection. Scrims are semi-transparent fabrics which depending where is the light source coming from, becomes transparent or opaque. Following the recommendation from Deyan, another fellow VJ (theWetCarpet), I decided to go for a dark grey fabric that I could set up in front of the 2 band members, allowing to see both visuals and the band in the same time. To achieve a better result, I also collaborated with Go Kun (Go Ueda), a japanese lighting sequencer who designed a set of interactive lights placed in different part of the stage.</div>

Because of pressure from Birmingham City University to submit my work in time and difficulties for the band and Cedric Arnold the DOP to be available when needed, this project suffered from a considerable amount of flaws especially during preproduction. It was shot with a budget of 10.000 THB, mostly coming from the band and myself.<br />

We went there early in the morning hoping for the sun... He was there, but clouds were here too. I could shoot for 2 hours until the monsoon took over. I think I have enough photos for promo purposes, but the light issue makes my editing more complicated...<br />

I chose this place for its unique combination of urban and nature, which I think fits with the band. I did some tests of chronophotography, as it is a technique I never tried before, I am planning to use it in my shooting.<br />

<br />
To facilitate my editing and also bring creative solution, I completed a few weeks ago a song map. This is rather simple:<br />
I asked in December the musician to give me separate tracks for each elements he used in his song. I did this in case I was planning to synchronize some visual elements to some specific instruments (the singer voice for instance could interact by vibrating or scaling up and down some visuals through its intensity). The interesting part I noticed about it when i opened the tracks in Logic Pro is that they also have blanks, making noticeable for instance, where the guitar is playing and where it is not.<br />
The idea of the map appears during production, when i was struggling about seeing where are the key moments of the song. I felt that track soundwave was uninspiring and left only a few noticeable spots. Therefore I opted for a system where every instruments could be displayed, facilitating the visualization of the track.<br />
I didn't want to do a simple screenshot of my timeline in Logic, as the quality would be too low for printing in big size, i looked on internet for an application that could export the soundwave visual into vector. After a few minutes, i found an obscure application named <a href="http://draft.blogger.com/www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/">Praat</a>, an application for phonetics... but with a great magical option nowhere to be seen: exporting the sounwave into an eps file!<br />
From that I could work in Adobe Ilustrator, change the colors remove the unnecessary attributes given by Praat and combining all into one file! Voila!<br />
<br />
This greatly helped me during my editing mostly, where i could visualize the lyrics in its context, also to decide when to change from shot to shot.<br />
I also did a video version of the file. So i could visualize directly in Premiere pro or after effects how the music is changing. To create the animated bars, i created an expression in after affects to link the size of each bar to the intensity of each instrument.<br />

This music video use the theme of "film within the film" and the concept was to try to surprise Malay audience by giving them a feeling that they are watching an old 80s program until they realise at the end of the music video that the "real" band members are actually directing a music video.<br />
<br />
This complex music video was directed in August and finished in october. I collaborate again with Nam Il Cho who directed the music video. I essentially worked on the visual effects, the compositing and supervised the 2D animation part (done by 2 of my beloved students...). Most of the effects and the compositing was done in After Effects and almost all the motion graphics were decided after shooting... after some long discussions. The animation part at the end was first shot on greenscreen and then rotoscoped frame by frame by PussayaAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03878475244223717119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737788782941121513.post-75729798485660067232009-11-28T04:12:00.000-08:002010-04-06T23:56:20.717-07:00Project EAR - South East A.<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KOjuloMvFlQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KOjuloMvFlQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br />
<br />
This is one of the two music videos I have been working in during august to october. The music video feature several hip hop stars from south East Asia grouped into a collective named E.A.R. (East Asian Revolution) Shot in one day, it took several weeks of post-production as I had to work on it part-time due to my full-time teaching at Silpakorn University International College.<br />
<br />
I have been involved in all the visual effects and compositing. I mostly followed the concept of the director (Nam Il Cho) who wanted to create a design of animated boxes. We planned first to shoot the boxes using LED, but for budget and aesthetics reason, shooting using standard lights was easier.<br />
<br />
Basically, the inside frame and its color changed was done during the shooting while I had to work on the outside frame in After Effects. Every members of the band were shot separately and brought back together using layers and compositing. Some parts were shot in greenscreen and later added. Some shots in the music video sometimes combined up to 180 layers and were all combined using.
