My first video created using Mother - Updated, now in HD :)

After my last minute performance at Immersion I thought I'd post a video of what the visuals you saw are meant to look like, when controlled using MIDI data.





This is the HD version of a video I had previously uploaded. The previous upload had terrible quality, a result of my using a scan converter to grab the video from my PC's VGA output in real-time.

As a consequence I took the time to modify Mother so that it can render video directly to disc in non real-time mode. It took a few days of work and involved the creation of a rudimentary OSC sequencer among other things, but the improvement in visual quality was worth the effort!

Even with an entirely digital production and HD encoding pipeline however, the video looks quite a bit worse than what the program does when running in real-time, because of the video compression. Colours are washed out, and some pixellation appears around fine details...

So do have a look at the screen grabs on www.flickr.com/photos/10401337@N05/sets/72157616429723122/, and download the better quality video from the link at the bottom of the vimeo page, to get a better impression of what it really looks like!

Nice work! That sounds like some pretty fast paced drumming - recorded in realtime in a single take?

Indeed a single take, but one of many :)

I like keeping the live feel of a whole take, so I end up making 50 attempts till I get it right...

I modified Mother to work in non real-time mode, so that I can render a high quality video to disk. The result looks far better than the video I had previously uploaded, have a look here:

I will be spending more time making content for mother now, spent way to long actually making the thing :P
