Moving Platform - a Kinect + Magic experiment
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2016 7:28 pm
Hey all
I had the opportunity to work with Midnight Social Recordings on a promo video for their forthcoming EP entitled 'Moving Platform'. They had a pretty specific vision of the look they wanted, and it turned that Magic was a perfect solution to implement it:
The look they wanted was an 80s style science fiction theme, with wire-frame outlines and neon colors. We went through a few different designs but ended up with a static background save for the moving plane (aka - a 'moving platform' hehe). All the dancing person footage was captured with a Kinect V2 using Processing 3.0, and then imported into Magic. Everything else was done in Magic using standard effects and a few GLSL shaders.
Making a music video is a big departure from what I usually do, but I was very happy with the results and I hope you guys enjoy it.
