SOME RANDOM DUDE

Not too long ago, I posted a Flash experiment where I sampled video color data to create real-time visualizations (by the way, feel free to download the base code). I have yet to really spend time on the visual treatment of this technique - instead playing with more technical aspects to expand the potential of what can be done creatively. I am truly looking forward to experiment in more interesting visual/motion treatments, but first things first...

Yesterday, I published a video visualization experiment that used a color sampling engine to drive realtime data-driven abstractions of a video. I promised that I would release the color sampling class with some documentation and an example. Well, I was fortunately enough to have a chunk of time to do just that.

The color sampling class has been documented and gone through an optimization pass. Depending on the implementation of the sampler, performance can begin to get relatively shaky. Nonetheless, the video sampling was able to sample and spit out results at a fairly impressive pace.
