Frame Buffer

I am sure this is possible to do entirely in Isadora. https://vimeo.com/748555134?sh...

Any help how is very much appreciated

Some interesting FX there. I think this could be made in Isadora, I'd start with a mix of the Buffer actor, and the Freeze actor. These will allow you to grab the buffer for replay, where the Freeze will be used to 'space' the frames over time. Normally the Buffer actor will record every frame that comes in, and this idea of spreading the frames out can be accomplished by Freezing frames into the Buffer at different temporal rates.

I am creating a series on Feedback, and have some great new tools to release shortly. I haven't played with the buffer like this yet, but this looks pretty fun.. so I think I'll give it a go.

Hi Alex,

I did something similar yesterday in Oulu Dance Hack, using a feedback loop through an Effect Mixer with a Video Delay. Super simple, but quite difficult to imagine the results.

The Video Fader controls how much of the image is fed back into the system. Zero gives you an infinite buffer, 3 or 4 gives a long fade out.
Its particularly effective if you can control which bits of the image get fed into the system. I was using lighting in a dark space, but you can use something like Difference to split off part of the image and get it looping, then combine it back with the initial feed with an Alpha Mask or something similar.
