STOR — Effects Study
Teletype and photocopy edge effects applied to STOR choreography. Scene-timed mask transitions: primary effect shrinks from full canvas to 66%, revealing the secondary in the exposed frame. Film-splice cuts between segments.
Art / Experiments
Experiments
Video tools built to see what happens when you apply a single constraint to footage. Each series is one idea taken as far as it goes.
Photocopy Edge
Film-grain effects — teletype and photocopy — with scene-timed mask transitions.
tool ↗Photocopy Edge
Bilateral filter + CLAHE + Sobel edge detection. Ink-on-paper aesthetic — dark edges on white ground. Suppresses skin texture while preserving costume and movement lines.
Teletype
ASCII character raster — each cell samples average brightness and renders a proportionally-sized monospace character. Dark on white. The crowd becomes a living text field.
Phone Grid
Arrays of independent phone displays, each running its own transform. Choreographed like performers.
tool ↗Phone Grid — Storm
4K grid of independent phone displays, beat-synced to STOR. Each phone plays its own transform of the source frame. 4-act arc: slow build → peak → break → resolution. Concrete table texture.
Phone Grid — Orientations
Four layout orientations in a single cut sequence: landscape grid → portrait grid → brick (2 landscape + 1 portrait) → triptych (portrait flanked by landscape). Each cut is 2 frames of black.
Phone Grid — Generative
Generative engine: source video drives all production parameters. Motion intensity → BPM. Brightness → table style. Color warmth → wood vs concrete. Same source always produces the same output.
