In Oh What War, the first thing that we are preparing is an anachronistic/unreliable surveillance system. Mostly the system shows horizons. I have been using horizon images from No Man's Land. There were initially four horizons representing the four geographical directions. The horizons can be characterized by the following attributes:
1)The dead tree
2)desolation
3) Gas pipes
4) barbed wire
Hal said in an email to me:
But one idea that I know some VJ's use and I've toyed with is to use
multiple scan converters zoomed in on areas of a single high resolution
RGB output. (say 1280x1024 will give you 4 standard def image areas)
(that's basicaly how the Matrox device works, but at higher RGB resolutions)
But my scan converters are not 'optimal' for that kind of setup.
I said to Hal in an email:
At first I think the multiple zooms idea won't give me enough control
at this experimental stage of the process.... But after thinking, I like the idea,
especially since we are dealing with horizon imagery and movies could
exist in some very wide format and the monitors could be zoomed in on
various parts. I like the idea that the horizon is one wide clip that
contains all the various terrains...
