in general, i have re-purposed a lot of my assets i did in the first version with adobe after effects (such as the circular vu meter, the waveform for the robot voice etc) long before i new magic existed
...for the 4x4 drum grid background (which was a steinberg PD controller filmed with my camera and processed in after effects) it was copied 5 more times and placed in 3D space to form a cube...that cube was then used as a reference scene a few times to add separate rotation and scale modules...i especially liked the z-scale effect on that cube introduce around 4:17 which used a sine osc and gave it that neat diamond streaking effect which was further enhanced with a radial blur module...
the lunar eclipse was a rendering i did with 3d max and then post-processed in after effects to better control the orange tint...
missing from the video is a circular ring of which a solid colour bar jumps from `square to square` at every note pressed on my synthersizer keyboard...as this is a live MIDI event reacting to my playing (it would be fantastic if we can use a MIDI file as controller source in magic--hint-hint), I was not able to incorporate this into the rendering of this video...the circle itself is rotating while the bar jumps in the opposite direction to the next empty slot...i used a step value on the rotation module of 0.0625 (1/16 --1 being 360 degrees) to ensure that the red block would jump to the next slot...here`s a still image of that ring which does not give justice to the overlaid effect...
