A full day creating the 14 'Spotify Canvases' for A Drive Through The Town. It took all morning to do 4, then the remaining 10 took less time, re-learning the ropes as I went. These were my first to use 25 rather than 30 frames per second. I prefer 25 as a rate (it looks more 'cinematic' and uses less memory), but 30 (240 frames) divides nicely into 8 seconds. I decided to use 192 frames, which has even more divisors.
Here are some stills, from Style Guru, Autumn Tale, Cat Covid:
Many used the fog and tunnel effects which worked so effectively on We Robot, but a few have new ideas. American Lawyer use a scrolling vast plane of video frames, from the old Dragnet episode I used for the audio.
All are drafts, but will do at a pinch, and the graphics are high enough resolution to make full screen videos from (well, this is debatable, the Dragnet film itself is only 320 pixels wide, but it scales up beautifully).
So far this month, I've recorded (but not yet edited) the 13 lyric videos, made and listed the Cat Covid single, and now these 14 animations. I may finish these 'basics' with enough time to list Argus on Steam, start the Mark Sheeky Show, and write and record a new song for a B-Side.
