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

Mind the one minute gap in the beginning. I left it in for added video quality, because the recording did not export as clearly as I'd like.

Recording of the 6-screen "performance" of "Listen", played across six 20" Mac Pro G5 computers, synced manually with 1-3 frame lag between each screen. Enjoy.

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

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

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.. ??

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.

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!

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!

@euromedian718

No, 6 different video files that make one video

[euromedian718]

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

@SOAD2k8

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