Cube and Light is a one minute movie of a Cube being struck by Light.

Video - No particular message or direction when I started this project. I like to be able to identify actors, no matter how abstract they are, and to see a story.

Tech: video composed in ArtMatic. First keyframe created by trial and error. Other keyframes created by auto-mutating the prior keyframe until I liked the direction.

Audio - I wanted a sound track that was slightly dark and was modulated by the video.

Tech: To have the video drive the sound I created Nato patch to analyze the pixel intensities of each frame (with 242.histo) and generate a "videogram" where each frame maps to a column of pixels in the videogram. I used this "videogram" to synthesize the audio track in Metasynth with a square wave sound sample and much resonant filtering. Assembled final movie with Quicktime.

The videograms by themselves are interesting. Below is a section of left channel videogram, corresponding to about 30 seconds worth of video.
