@B3Guy - Holy crap! Jazz at its best - true intercourse. Well... now that we're going in that direction... I live near Denver and there is this great jazz club (small) and we regularly get another favorite of mine:

+1, very interested to see what can be done with this. How much does Twixtor cost? I don't have it right now. (P.S. if Barbara is the jazz Hammond queen, Joey is the king. Also, Billy Preston as far as I am concerned was one of the Beatles. If John wanted it so, so it was.)

I don't have Twixtor and have never used it - so take this with a grain of salt. A couple of things occur to me:

Recommended settings for Twixtor, like shutter speed, etc... assume you want to create slow motion. This would be a different application so those rules may not apply. Specifically, I suspect you don't want faster shutter speeds; rather for 24p, for example, you probably want to stick with 1/50th or thereabouts.

Ideally, you probably want to create something like 10x the frames. These would be combined as overlays using only some of the interpolated frames stacked something like this:

New frame = Original frame plus interpolated frame -1 at 20% plus frame -2 at 10%, same with frame +1 and frame +2. To avoid ghosting it's probably appropriate to blur the interpolated frames somewhat.

Does that make sense to you? I pulled the actual percentages, etc... out of my ass, so I don't know what the actual numbers would need to be. Can Twixtor do this kind of thing?

Starting a new thread is a great idea. After all this thread is about B3's - err, i mean Wabi-sabi ;-)

Ah, @stonebat The thread is no longer perfect. Enjoy the imperfection!

@cbrandin OMG man you worked for Ensoniq. They have some of the coolest algorithms ever. Highly underestimated to this day.

@stonebat Thanks for interesting thread! As for me, it is very interesting that the foreigner is discussing Wabi-sabi, and I also love B3 Hammond! :-)

About Wabi-sabi, we the Japanese always feel it in the life. Since I was often performing JAZZ and the blues before, I can also understand the relevance of Wabi-sabi and B3.

@bkmcwd Globalization man. Darn globalization. Cultures are getting intermingled across the borders. I see more American guys going crazy about SNSD from Korea.

We are imperfect. Gh2 is imperfect. But it's ok if one pays attention to imperfect yet subtle detail.

@stonebat

I saw this movie.

Did not like it, really, as it represents typical journalist approach, and depiction of only sucessfull people in the field. About 90% people who develop mobile games never ever return invertments.

Writing games is how they express what they feel about the world around them. It's quite resonating.

I doubt all this things about "express what they feel about the world around them". This is good sounding words, but they have zero relation to reality.

I'll tell this as follows. This guys do things that they like, about 90% of them fail. And about 70% of this fails are very hard fails, specially omitted by press. So, this film can be viewed from other side - like pro-narcotics film, promoting activity that brings most income to big corporations who own software shops.

You went bankrupt or have $1 per week? This is fine with them, as your app is amoungs this "we have 2 million apps in our store". As this is same motherfuckers who promoted across every major media that somehow people must start to pay $1-$4, instead of $10-30 for same or more work. Fuck this motherfuckers and heroes of this film.

I am all for banning all corporations from right to have their stores.

I wouldn't downplay those who work hard and sharpen their skills even if they don't get paid a lot.

I am also pretty ok with them, until they start being promoted by this film. Plus all the guys who had been promoted had been paid a lot, actually. This is whole point of this film.

The film isn't all good or all bad.

It is not bad. As I said, it is typical approach of journalist.
I call it - 2 points approach. Unproportionally inflated emotions and focus on deadlines.

This film, as I said, also has other main point (why it is being selected for contests and why they could access all this guys) - promoting mobile game developing. This is point I am strongly against.
