Further experimentation with Data Moshing.

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, after first seeing the Evident Utensil Video, but have just recently found the time to experiment. ‘Data Moshing’ is basically warping video so that during each cut, the pixels from one scene sort of blend into the movement of the next scene. Fairly hard to describe really, best to take a look for yourself. How it all works is through the way videos are compressed. There are two types of frame in a compressed video, one records the pixels of that particular piece of the video (‘P’ frame), and the other records the movement (‘I’ frame). Generally each new cut scene in a video generates a new ‘I’ frame, as usually most of the pixels between scenes will be different. However, if you remove those ‘I’ frames, the transition between scenes blends into a sort of digital mayhem.

Here is my very first effort at Data Moshing. Thought I’d keep it topical.
