Metamorphosis from Glenn Marshall on Vimeo.

Glenn Marshall maakte de animatie hierboven geheel met Processing, de software waarmee de meest natuurlijke animaties worden gemaakt. Processing staat vooral bekend om zijn mooie natuurlijke manier van animeren. Processing heeft een hele mooie manier van omgaan met licht.

Metamorphosis is programmed entirely in Processing, it’s the follow up to my Music is Math video. I developed my ‘zeno’ animation system a bit more to allow for nebulous additive blending as well as a few other things. The music is by Boards of Canada again – the track ‘Corsair’ from the Geogaddi album.

‘Butterfly’, my first film and the inspiration behind my whole direction as an artist (check out previous blog), is again the inspiration here. When making Butterfly I became obsessed with the wing patterns of the Monarch butterfly and how they looked like imaginary worlds within themselves, where butterflies lived and died according to a holistic, natural mechanism of nature.

These kind of ambitious concepts where difficult for me to implement back then within the practical limits of traditional 3d/2d software. So I wanted Metamorphosis be symbolic of my passing over into 100% programmed/generative computer art, where perhaps these kinds of ideas can reach more of their potential.

Met processing zijn onder andere de schitterende iTunes plug-ins gemaakt en de site WeFeelFine van Jonathan Harris.
