Re: video looping



I saw a performance last summer at a local freaky music festival of Bob Hebert, animator, and Bob Ostertag, music.  Bob would sample stuff live sounds (kids toys mostly) and mangle them while Bob would did a live animation - he's draw one cell or put on object on his table, take a picture of it, then add to it, etc. and it kept looping; whenever he added a new cell, it would insert itself at the end of the loop.
 
It was something that they had worked out before hand but there was still a lot of room to improvise.
 
The overall theme is the 9/11 with policital overtones.
 
They recorded it - "Betweeen Science and Garbage" and was released on John Zorn's Tzadik label.  http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReviews19/Between_Science_and_Garbage_DVD_Review.htm
 
Great performance; never seen the dvd, though.

Speaking of video looping, I don't know if such a device exists, but an
analog to something like a audio looper would be a machine that shoots
video, plays iti back in real-time, but also allows you to keep recording
video and super-imposing it over the top of the original video, and so
on.....man, that would be a trip. The only thing I seen close to this is in
my looping videos, where they had three cameras on me, and the producer in
the studio was panning and fading from one camera to another, so you saw
video superimposed on video, but it wasn't looping of course. Anyway, a
real video looping machine would be cool...imagine multiplying with video,
or reverse, half time, insert, etc..
