Live Visuals Session // 081217

| Leave a comment

This live visuals session consists of 3 layers. The abstract background is affected by distortion, displacement, and colorization effects. The middle layer, which is a triangular 3D shape, is cloned in a circular kaleidoscopic formation. Lastly, the front layer, which is a center-weighted 3D element. To play along with the beat, the lighting effect was triggered manually by tapping a key mapped to a MIDI controller, and the triangular layer’s line effect was manually tweaked with a rotary/knob on the same MIDI controller. Colors were adjusted to create a complementary look across all layers.

Live Visuals Session // 070517

In this session, our live visuals are made up of a centered element with alpha channel/full transparency with two background elements. The blurry purple digital lines are mirrored and sit at the bottom of the composition while a tiled hexagonal object works as a secondary background. The hexagonal tiled background is audio reactive and its opacity is triggered on the kick drum of the audio track. A glow effect was applied over the entire composition.
