Review: Cambox

Jun 22

Cambox is an IOS app that records video, chops it up where it finds silence, and then arranges it in a two by four grid so that you can play it as a drum machine. Whilst you play you see the video that does the playing.

This is so much fun.

I wish we thought of it.

A few good things with it is that you get instant gratification when you play. It is playable, the latency is low enough for me to ignore. The automatic slicing is so good I don’t care that I cant change it myself. Sharing on youtube and then further is brilliant, it will make all your fiends see your masterpiece.

It wouldn’t be a review without a few feature-request. I’d love to share my “drumkits” with my friends, and I’d also love to be able to recall them at a later date. Also, I would loove a quantize function to sort some of my crappy drumming out, se for yourself in this video:

3frames app

May 6

I’m a big fan of http://threeframes.net/ and we could make an app that shoots a short video and then repeats it, just like threeframes, but in life, not from a movie!

 

 

Chances are, the thing that moved is the most interesting part of the picture. If so, you can write an algorithm that  locates the part that moves the most in a three frames shot, and add a gradient to help you focus on it.

 

This is the original shot, where we pretend the kid in the back moves the most.

We generate a gradient that is white where his face is, then it assumes the color of his face, then the exact opposite color on the other side of the color wheel, and finally black.

When the gradient is multiplied to the photo, it looks a lot better. Now the picture is not so messy. The gradient helps you focus on the most important thing.

If we automatically add filters like these, we could achieve some of the filmic attributes of the 3-frame-grabs that make the threeframes.net site so visually appealing. Sometimes it will be great. Sometimes it will fail miserably. But it will always be interesting. And I think this visual interest will appeal to the kind of arty types that would be interested in this type of novel photography.
