Darwiin remote how to video

tested this today. it works to a fashion.
could be useful, although not for full motion control
as it only uses the accelerometers to judge direction, which at best is a bit poor.

similar to this: http://wordle.net/

but from live feed.

like:

http://labs.digg.com/bigspy/?popular

http://amaztype.tha.jp/US/Books/Title?q=labradoodle

search for things like Facebook API to get an idea what info you can use to create for visualization on own site.

Android-game development tool from google, for mobile/internet gaming, based on linux downloadable.

(idea)

maybe wordle style word map from live feed such as BBC news.

YEAR 2 BEGINS… Motion Graphics

Motion Graphics.(unit)

see Saul Bass (intro’s for Alfred Hitchcock etc) stylized, lengthy, eventually used video in his motion graphics/movie intros.

Kinetic Type

Motion Typography eg

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iAKxVCoTYXs

too be cont…

mat:.)

I think that the idea of making a kinetic type piece of motion graphics works best with songs, some that I am thinking of using include:

A Whole Child Ago-Biffy Clyro

Solution Devices- Biffy Clyro

Tautou- Brand New

Steadier Footing-Death Cab for Cutie

Attractive Today-Motion City Soundtrack

Don’t Call it a comeback- Motion City Soundtrack

Modern Chemistry-Motion City Soundtrack

Motion without meaning-thrice

Gone In the Morning-Newton Faulkner

A Modern Way of Letting Go- Idlewild

Meat Head- Story Of The Year

Food-The Zico Chain

War of the worlds-Get cape wear cape fly

Feeling Lucky- Jimmy Eat World

[Untitled Track]- Story Of the Year

Stationary Stationery- Anberlin

Godspeed- Anberlin

Prayer of the refugee- Rise Against

all of the above songs fit within three minutes quite nicely.
