shirin: “i tried to do some databending today, using a starring portrait by Korehiko Hino. inspired by the results, i was desperate to see the same effect moving. so i played a little. so far i have a 10s clip with no sound. it would be cool to create a mashup-video, made out of fast and irritating short clips, each showing an other way of distorting an image. can be simple or extremely creative ;) also there would be a need for music, all suggestions are welcome.”
If you’d like to conrtibute and collaborate on this project, create a 5-10second-clip, showing an aesthetic way of distorting an image or our view. use images from the blog or upload the original image with your clip. tag mashup, video

CLIP 2. shirin: i’m still trying to make the databending do a dance for me. this time, i used a painting by Robin Williams , did some databending to it, cut every image up in to 5 squares and put them together again, in aftereffects - playing irregularly over the original image. for the first 3 seconds i used 10 images, overlayed with no transparancy; for the second half i doubled the layers with 50% transparancy.
you can download the psd-files here: clip2.psd (49)
CLIP 3. Serbé: I’ve just started working with After Effects but here it is a demo: this clip shows a sequence of 34 stills in which the effect shown previously in your videos is here ‘emulated’. The video starts with 3 glitch images generated from an original image of the portrait saved with a raw format. Then a sequence of 31 databended stills is repeated twice changing speed. Sound is based on a superposition of 3 tracks. These were originally obtained reading some of the stills as a raw sound file.
CLIP 4. shirin: i’ve made a mix out of the three clips above. i chose the version with no transparancy in the layers, for clip 2. the whole snippet works as a loop, which i always quite handy. and i really like the mix between sound-parts and nosound-parts.
CLIP 5. sh: an example, of how the clips could be brought together in the end. very chic format and total overload. (could also be used, for just a sequence)
CLIP 6. sh: i used serbé’s clip for this snippet and simply displayed it 6x. really liking this sequence
Music inspiration: Leonel Cunha just sent me this great videolink maybe we can use snippets from the sound here. this one is even nicer
CLIP 7. Serbé: Here, you find the sequences I said before. Thanks for the sounds. I’ll use them. I’ve recompiled your two projects with AE CS4. (I’ve seen your manual approach to databending based on inserting different strips in sequences: very time consuming!) I made two short new files as a start to explore 2-tracks effects in audio and video: a soundtrack with a stereo mixing and a two-channel clip.
CLIP 8. shirin: i’ve managed to do the raw-databending version, and i love it! using an image by Peter Kennard this time. for the clip i simply saved the image 20 times during the databending to play it like a stopmotion. though, the timing isn’t right yet…
CLIP 9. serbé: This new demo was developed upon these Shirin’s principles: 1) Everything would be flickering and irritating; 2) like a hologram with only ideas showing, and never an actual image and 3) whole stripe-chaos turned into an actual coupled image. [To reuse: videos (1, 2, 3) and images (1,2,3,4).] (originals by H. W. Trübner )
CLIP 10. serbé: Another one developed under Shirin’s flying image principles.
