projects | 2003-2004
Below projects are proposed by me. Students either can choose from the list or propose their own projects. Each project will be finished by the end of the second term. Finished products are expected to have professional qualities. Students will work in groups; team work is essential for the projects. Each project will have a web site which will be weekly updated. Even if each project has its own project plan, all has to comply with the course's mile stones. For the weekly generic program of the course click here.
Chosen and started projects have a 'team members' section and 'project web site' link in red.
1.
VJ _Machine
This is a sort of image sequencer regarding selected parameters. VJM uses images and videos from a library, can add effects or manipulate them on the air. All resources should have been entered to a database with the parameters which will be used by VJM during the real time processing to choose the next image. User will make some selections to define the parameters and press start button. The selections may be some adjectives to choose which describe the mood of the music to be accompanied. As an option the music can be processed real time and the change of the visuals can be synchronized.

Floppy re-birth
tekrardan merhaba hocam,
proje ile ilgili bilgi:
floppy diske sigacak buyuklukte video klip calismasi.
aradigim kriterler EN AZ 96k ses kalitesi. mono olabilir.
ancak ses kaliteside onemli oldugundan animasyonla ilgili hayati bir durum olmadigi surece 96k nın altina inilmemesi tercihim. ancak parca uzun olursa ses kalitesinden biraz daha odun verilebilir.
ses optimizasyonu ile ilgili problemleri biz decoded olarak cozebiliriz.
kullanilan parcalar copyright problemleri yuzunden yayinlanmamis veya izin alinmis eserler olursa iyi olur.
elimizde decodeddan cikan eserlerin yanisira henuz piyasaya surulmemis islerde mevcut isteyenler icin tedarik edebiliriz.
gorsel kisimi ile ilgili olarak tek kisitlama floppy diske sigicak olmasi. animasyon veya video olmasi hic faketmez.
bu iste ticari bir beklentim yok.
hareketi baslatmak, insanlari heveslendirmek ve bir \"scene\" yaratmak asil amacim. ancak disketlerin satilmasi ve bir kazanc elde edilmesi durumda eser sahiplerine TUM kazanc odenecektir. (ama sanirim akademik islerin satilmasi zaten mumkun degil) bir nevi amiga demo kulturunun upgrade versiyonu olacak.
eserleri hem decoded dukkaninda hemde parti yaptigimiz mekanlarda sunmak istiyoruz.
ayrica dream TV de yayinlanmasi imkanimiz mevcut.
su anda aklima gelmeyen veya sizin onereceginiz veya soracaginiz seyler olursa bu adresten bana ulasabilirsiniz.
