And I’m sorry, but if you don’t see anything you like in this video:

then I think conversation is over.

One thing that will make datamoshing… And…well…what ARE we going to call it now?  You didn’t say did you?  I skimmed the article.  I was brought to it while trying to learn how you get the color bloom effect in most the videos.

Working ‘datamoshing’ into a larger effects workflow will smooth out some of its edges, I think.  For example, going back and removing / blurring /whatever, the blocky stuff could make transitions much nicer.

As most the transitions, or p-frame hacks – that’s what I’m going to call them – as they go, they start going with their eye trickery and then break and you get blocks. Smoothing that out – not too hard in After Effects – could help preserve the orientation bending that’s going on before the break.

As I’m writing, I’m realizing I can’t assume to have understood your ‘sometimes tongue in cheek’ article from skimming.

Anyways.  Lost my subject.

My ‘datamoshing’ web surfs are what introduced me to David O’Reilly recently.  So give it that credit, of wiring us all more up.  And, David O’Reilly’s stuff.  Man.  The room changed when I played the first one.  It was late.  And dark.  Then, that crazy f’ing game show, with the murderous flesh eating cat god.  Freaked me the f out.

To be fure, O’Reilly’s talents, skills, and technical achievements crumble any datamoshing test edit.  But I’m sure if O’Reilly gave it a week or two – or a day or two – of playing around, he’d blow your mind, partially to the credit of p-frame hacking.  And, sure, other people should be playing with it, too.

Not O’Reilly.

That was, though.  Crazy shit.

Okay.  I have like ten tabs open now.

Later.

ffmpeg -i infile.flv -g 500 outfile.avi

would produce a file you can manipulate in avidemux, like he does.
