Love Death + Robots: The Witness

For those people who claim that they are a movie aficionado, should check out their original series, Love Death & Robots. Although technically it is not a cinematographical movie (some but not all), the series itself became one of the unique series ever created in Netflix's history. The series itself is categorized as an American adult animated science fiction anthology web television, and produced by The series is produced by Joshua Donen, David Fincher, Jennifer Miller, and Tim Miller.

What makes the series considered as anthological is because each chapter does not necessarily intertwine with each other; instead, each episode is a stand-alone story. Other than that, Love Death & Robots, combined (and consisted of) live-action roles and animation as well, created by different crews from all around the world.

One of the most standing pieces they released is Season 1 - Episode 3: The Witness. The story itself is short; however, it has one of the most unexpected plot twists, in my opinion. Other than the captivating narrative, I personally really enjoy the animation style and the storyboard of the whole episode. Although, fair warning, this episode, in particular, contains nude scenes and may not be appropriate for the younger audiences.

SPOILER:
The story is set in Hong Kong, where a man realized that he had been seen murdering someone by a woman witnesses living in a hotel across him. But the strange thing is that he noticed that the witness looks very similar to his victim. The murderer then proceeds to chase the witness, but she quickly runs for it and hails a cab while contacting the authorities about the incident, however, with her confused state, she didn't really explain it in much detail. She then went to work as a dancer in a strip club. The murderer followed her and entered the club and was immediately guided by the host to sit on a couch to watch the performance. When the witness was performing her dance, she sees the man in the audience and quickly ran from him. They began to chase each other through the city streets. The woman did steal a gun from the strip club previously, and when cornered when the murderer found her hiding in an apartment, proceed to fight over the gun. The woman ends up shooting the mand dead, realizing that someone witnessed her murder, only to recognize that the someone who saw her act, is identical to the man she just murdered.

TouchDesigner Experiment: Inserting OSC data with OSCIn

From one of my last experiment , I tried to change the data input. Instead of using audio, I replaced it with OSC data from my Muse headset. To connect your OSC device to TouchDesigner, make sure that the IP address and port number is the same so the data transfer can be accurate. In this case, I use a third-party app called Mind Monitor (available on iOS devices) to connect my Muse headset to the TouchDesigner software. Below are screenshots and videos from my experiment. You can see that the brainwave data is already recorded in real-time in the software. Then I used the alpha, beta, and theta brainwave to change the movement of the visuals (the chosen brainwave data I used are just placeholders for now to see the movement). Then the data is connected with 'noise', which is like the fluid/abstract visuals you see on the background. I also set the colors to be moving/changing over time.

TouchDesigner Experiment: Audio Reactive Particle Cloud

My second experiment with TouchDesigner is creating this audio-reactive particle visual by following Bileam Tschepe 's tutorial on Youtube. Again, I just followed his tutorial step by step. This tutorial is a little different because it uses both audio and visuals. The visual follows the music in real-time. Other than audio, we are also introduced with the element 'Math' to add the channels of the audio together. This is the end product. Music is FriendsV2 by Muskatt.

Arduino Experiments (pt. 1)

Earlier this week, I bought my first Arduino Kit . Since this is week 6 of term, our lecturer has asked us to display an experiment by week 7. It could be any type of experiment, and it doesn't even have to be related to our project. The reason why I picked to try on Arduino is that I think it's the closest medium I'll be using for my actual work. But I was kind of worried about this, mainly it is because I've never used or tried it before. I've only heard about it but never actually played around with it. So this is the kit I bought. It costs SGD 70 at one of the shops in Sim Lim Tower. It contains a lot of items to try out experiments. It also includes several tutorial cards that can be successfully running with the items provided in the kit. For more detailed tutorials and the codes of each project, we are asked to go to their website and search for the complete step by step tutorials. Thus far, I have tried several projects, and for ...
