I tend to design these instruments to be open, allowing you the greatest flexibility to influence the output, a good dose of ‘meta’ design that can get you results quickly, and finally I strive to build systems with unique aleatoric progression, randomness and style capable of producing unexpected results… I take great joy in crafting shape-specific UV texture maps that preserve the best aspect ratio for maximum video impact.” ![]() “My underlying design philosophy is akin to synthesizers in music, that is, visual instruments with oscillators and various visual ‘forms’ as source compositions. Zoetroepe Software‘s recent batch of plugins are attempts at ‘generative design instruments (for Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects & Apple Motion) which encourage and reward experimentation – an unsurprising approach, given they spring from the creator of VDMX (real-time video software), Johnny De Kam.
