micro-project:
datamoshed/databent video

concept

Datamoshing is a way of glitching digital video. Databending is a way of glitching digital images. Here is an unglitched source video. here is a datamoshed/bent video created using excerpts from that same source video.

assignment

Create a datamoshed/databent video that is 1 minute long. Bake (export) your final video as a quicktime movie. You may shoot your own source footage, use footage from the interwebs, or combine both. Name your video yourlastname.mov and put it in the dropbox called "datamosh project."

resources

In the 330 drop box on the NM server, there is a folder called "datamosh tutorials." Download "datamoshkit.zip" and "complete_tutorial.mov." Watch the tutorial and use the tools in the kit. (The same tutorials and kit may also be found on the interwebs here >>

To databend an image file, just change its file suffix to .txt, open it in a text editor, mess up some of the code, save it, then change its file suffix back to whatever it originally was. Sometimes this works better than other times.
