Listen (6 screen music video) - multi-screen recording

[euromedian718]

so 6 of the SAME video files? and each computer zoomed into a part of the video?

@euromedian718

No, 6 different video files that make one video

oh ok

[shapeworkstudios1]

awsome! is this from a 6 screen computer setup, or a tv with 6 screens

[SOAD2k8]

@shapeworkstudios1 It's actually 6 separate computers running a section of the full video, so it's six video files.

@SOAD2k8

with something like the Radeon 5870 eyefinity6 video card in your computer, you could literally have a 6 screen computer setup

Also there a better methods to your madness.

Check out Modul 8 a VJ program for Macs and PC's, mainly for use with a projector, but multiple screens as well.

Gives you the option of trimming your projector image to the 3d object in front of it. So your cereal box could have a video playing perfectly on it. Or 36 mock computer screens that have just been cut with Modul 8, with a similar grid idea, using only one projector.. ??

[SOAD2k8]

The 36 screen video would be played on a pyramid-like setup of 36 televisions, older televisions on the bottom with newer ones on top, with it all being controlled by computers. The thing is, though, that I do not have the funds for it. This video was a school project, so my school gave me the materials on loan to show it on that night and made due with what I had. The video really doesn't do it justice, it looks far better live. The Modul 8 program looks very nice, but I don't have the cash.

@justlunyproductions Also check TEsla & Plextra by NVIDIA u can spent realy MOOORE money for the same kind of madness)) 8K .

and also the OmegaPlex complex (27+ mln. pixels) ENJOY IT!)

[justlunyproductions]

cool man, well done. Please check out Expo '67 in Montreal, Canada, where they pushed the idea of mind expansion cinema, and multi screening to the absolute max! 3 screens, 6 screens, 9 screens in a 360degree cinema where a 1500 audience sat in the centre and watched the movie around them, 112 screens on revolving cubes, mirrored screens to infinity, water screens and dome screens!

I have just become obsessed by the idea and the fact you want to create an art piece means there is an intention!

[SOAD2k8]

I've read about the 360° demonstration but never seen any footage of it. I'll need to take a look at the other things, though, sounds really cool!

[justlunyproductions]

did you cut these clips in a linear way, and then export 6 movies to different screens? Or is it one film spread out over the 6? What programs did you use, and do you intend to push multi screening more !! ??

[SOAD2k8]

This one is mainly proof-of-concept, hence why much of it is so simple. I created the video in aspect to the six screens as a single video first, then cropped out each section using a grid I overlaid the video in Final Cut Pro and once it was finished, I cropped it into six video files using Compressor. I have a 12-screen video in the works right now (around the same length) that will be more complex and a conceptual 36-screen "art piece" prepared as well (though I lack the funds to do it).

[SOAD2k8]

Also, it was all synced manually by a series of metronomic ticks and a countdown then set to a loop. Not exactly the easiest thing to set up.
