Description:
“DIGITALSNAPSHOT” is similar to music-video animations that deal with the correlation of digital manipulations and candid documentary shots. It was produced as part of a media design diploma thesis from the Univerty of Applied Sciences, Mainz ,Germany in 2003. Discreet combustion and REALVIZ ReTimer were used to produce this clip.
What does a moment look like? Can snapshots freeze a moment in time?
In “DIGITALSNAPSHOT,” motion fragments were captured and rearranged in a new visual context via unconventional digital manipulations. A long-take camera-movement cycle generates a unique “digital painting” that enables the viewer to experience a virtual walk through a beautiful park in summertime.

PRODUCTION
Some rotoscoping used. Average CPU time for rendering per frame: NA. Total production time: six months (two months preproduction, six weeks shoot, three months post production). Production highlight: “DIGITALSNAPSHOT” is a kind of “doku-animation” that plays with the correlation of candid documentary shots and digital manipulation. Motion fragments were captured and rearranged in a new visual context. Ninety percent of the clip is based on candid documentary shots.
