Well I didn't make it, but I can tell one is controlling the shadows or the black point and the other is controlling the highlights or the white point. From what I see anyways. And side note, blender is so powerful that it's crazy it's free. I saw a documentary on how they used to do those old school wireframe effects back In the 80s that looked like max headroom or Miami vice type of thing and it was this crazy large analog console that something like a rotoscope I want to say. Crazy how deep you had to manually go to make stuff and model it. I'd like to pick up one of those old machines someday.
fyi, your "glitch box" you're using is actually a "dirty video mixer", you're supposed to input two sources at the same time and turn the knob and it will create distortion as it mixes between the two signals. you didn't actually glitch anything when you had just once source in there... literally just changing the strength of the signal. it can also be built for <$5 (i'm hoping you didn't actually buy it for $100 or something absurd) and it just requires extremely basic knowledge of electronic components to build yourself.
hey think I’ve seen u mention it in one of ur vids but do u by chance have a link or vid for this build or any others? sorry if it’s in plain sight just having trouble finding it. i am indeed one of the suckers who bought one of these overpriced devices a bit ago, but would like to still learn, and build one myself.
Glad you like! You have to convert your computer output from HDMI to RCA and then input that onto your crt tv. hope that helps! I mention the step sin the description too.
How do you make those Wireframe animations? I mean obviously you have the STL of the 3D model of that object, but how do you animate it into your video? Great video BTW, would love more people put that many thoughts into their "tutorials"
the wire animations are made with cinema 4d and blender. I was learning how to use the programs and decided to model this device since it was sitting on my desk. when it came time to edit that sequence, i thought it would be sick to render out a wireframe animation and distort it with the CRT tv
so that was a 3d animation in blender. still a total noob at 3d software. the wireframe thing is actually super easy to do if you have the right model. i took the animations and mixed them all together with the real footage, and ran all that through the tv. it looks like shit on its own but really cool with the CRT
Thanks Sam! first I rotoscoped his body to remove him from the wall, them I took the still I wanted to be on the wall and place it behind the top rotoscoped layer. Then I tracked the camera motion and assigned the still to a point on the wall so it moved with the camera movement. Then I changed the blending mode to multiply to give it that embedded look. A lot for a comment, but hope that helps man
