STOP MOTION: MUSIC + VISUALIZATION RESOURCES

 

STOP MOTION: RESOURCES FOR AUDIO / VISUALIZATIONS

Visualization Links

The links below are to 2 programs that produce Music Visualizations. Some of these are stronger than others, but I think they are overall good STARTING POINTS, and just some examples of how different visuals are linked to audio and music. When viewing these, try to ignore some of the more “eye candy” effects, and instead look at the fundamental connections between the audio and how it directs / drives the visuals and animations. If working with one of these as inspiration, make sure to refer back to those basics, and not the more produced FX. There are also a few that work more with recognizable images and object (like a face, headphones, etc) - these are not ideal examples for this project.

Also, a few reminders of your options with this different video format:

  1. Pop out of Canvas and watch in a new tab if any of the features aren't working

  2. There are fullscreen and CC (Sub-title) options available in the right hand corner. For being YouTube auto-captions, these are pretty clear. I think they must have improved their algorithm. Please email me with any accessibility needs.

  3. If you are feeling pressed for time, but don't want to miss anything, you can watch with audio in 1.5 speed by hitting that little gear icon.
