This is one of a series of realtime animations we created for Jen Tsuei’s play Fantasias for the Immoderate. Two actors in microphones used the volume of their voices to control the video “puppets” in a program called Isadora.

These are realtime recordings, with me triggering events by tapping keys in time to the beat. They’re tests for some upcoming projects using OSC (Open Sound Control), a nifty protocol for getting many different kinds of realtime sound and video programs to talk to each other.

The Judge

This video was my first try at rotoscoping, created as a projection for a dance performance. The character here is a corrupt judge receiving his karmic punishment–which I imagine here as getting flushed down into some kind of supernatural plumbing.
