Thanks for the review guys…
Two of the videos featured on the Zen Vlog section were raw videos without the effects of Zen Mix - the vlogging tool that lets you mix video from the Web with pictures from the Web.
It is always a little embarrassing posting the raw videos without the effect - and to some degree… demonstrates a use for Zen Mix. For instance you show the video of me dancing in the living room. The raw video is at:
http://blip.tv/file/405579/
The final Zen Mix is at:
http://www.zenmix.com/mix.php?danzen/dancing11~dancing12
In the description area on Blip for instance, I post the link to the final product ;-) These are at http://www.zenvlog.com. So the Zen Vlog at blip is used to feed the final versions ;-)
The video in the woods is used as the example on Zen Mix http://www.zenmix.com and again… an unprocessed video is shown. By superimposing a picture of the trees and applying blend modes, you can get a much more interesting effect in five minutes.
Ultimately, where Zen Mix is going is in mixing interactive works - it already does so… for instance, the psychedelic dancing as exercise mix actually uses Opartica - an online op art making tool - as the background. The background is actually the tool - and if I adjusted the scale so you could see the buttons, the viewer would be able to change the background with their own creations.
An issue is that the final mix is not a video. So it can’t be distributed on Blip or YouTube. This is being worked out in Zen Mix 2 for the fall.
Cheers - caught your show a few times and dig what you are doing ;-)
