Determined today to focus on the 'All Controlled By Someone' video today, and charged into filming Herr Kasperle, the star of the puppet sections. I'll play him in certain parts. Other parts will use Argus. I often feel frustrated at these videos, everything is an artistic compromise; too little time, too few resources, the argument is that any video is better than none. Pushing to limits in these circumstances can be good. I must make it the best I can.
Video lights work best in secondary colours; yellow, cyan, magenta; and the modern LED lights which essentially flicker between primaries to achieve this often look better because fragments of primary leak in at the fringes. A music video really needs cuts every 2 secs; but I rarely have that luxury, rarely have the resources. Still, thanks to Argus I can make objects appear for exact notes.
The next step will feature me as Kasperle. I may need to add more for the sake of variety, though Avisynth is already creaking with one minute of video.
The morning started, however, with weighing and preparations to list The Love Reliquary with Galleria Balmain. Hardly anyone has seen this artwork, one of my best. I can but hope that Colin will help me here.
Onwards I forge.
