Experiment – Repeat

Having detoured via After Effects I wanted to go back to Isadora because I wanted to have the option of using the same series of effects and filters on live video later in the project. My initial approach was to replicate the phasing experiment in Isadora.

The initial version lacked the synchronisation of the After Effects version, although I could have fixed this with some work I felt that this experiment had run its course. I want to look specifically at looping a small section of the dance and exploring how this evolved.

I adapted one of my early Isadora stages by removing the City Lights effect and adding a Delayed Motion Blur onto another projector.

After experimenting with the length of the loop I discovered the Envelop Generator ++. I set the envelop to increment the play length over a duration of 120 seconds. This causes the loop to evolve over the length of the piece.
