Abstract:
This paper introduces ongoing work on video granular synthesis. The strategies traditionally used in granular synthesis in order to granulate audio signals are extended to streams of video data. We present initial techniques that are made possible through transforming a video signal into a large array of microvideos, or video grains. These involve the dynamic resynthesizing of the video based on spatial and temporal elements of the video grains. Initial explorations in the creative manipulation of videos using these methods are described. We show that video granular synthesis strategies facilitate novel video processing techniques that could lead to new creative effects.
