The interactive music video first gained mass attention with Arcade Fire's 'beoNlineB' project, directed by Spy's own音乐电视的互动,首先赢得了群众的关注与商场火灾的'beoNlineB'项目,由间谍自己的导演 Vincent Morisset文森特莫里塞特 . 。 In the most recent issue of在最近的问题 Shots射门 magazine; “Morisset can be reasonably described as the godfather of this burgeoning scene.”杂志,“莫里塞特可合理作为这一新兴现场教父”来形容。
Earlier this month in the Montreal本月初在蒙特利尔 Gazette公报 , alongside Madonna and Michael Jackson, Vincent Morisset's ' ,旁边麦当娜和迈克尔杰克逊,文森特莫里塞特的' beoNlineB beoNlineB ' was noted as one of the top six milestone videos in the history of the twenty-five year-old medium. '有人指出,作为前6名在20史上的一个里程碑影片一五岁的媒介。
Other innovative, web-friendly directors have also received the attention of the digital masses.其他创新,网络友好的董事也得到了人民群众关注的数字。 Spy's directing duo间谍的指导铎 Radical Friend激进的朋友 , hit the radar in early 2008 with their own interactive “ ,创下2008年初自己互动的雷达“ rock-smashing岩石粉碎 ” site. “网站。
Several months later Radical Friend garnered the attention of upcoming indie rock-band 'Black Moth Super Rainbow'.几个月后自由基好友积累即将举行的独立摇滚乐注意带'黑蛾超级彩虹'。 Wired有线 magazine attributed the success of the video in Radical Friends' words: “It's essentially the same technology used in video installations where insane programs like由于该杂志在激进朋友的话视频的成功:“它本质上是相同的技术在视频装置用在像疯程序 MAX/MSP Jitter的Max / MSP抖动 are required.是必需的。 However, in these tests it was accomplished using just Flash and a webcam, so anyone with a newer Mac laptop could potentially be involved.”然而,这些是实现只使用闪存和一个摄像头的测试,所以任何人用新的Mac笔记本电脑可能参与。“

Spy Films' Radical Friend completes latest interactive video for Pittsburgh-based band, Black Moth Super Rainbow.间谍电影'激进好友完成最新的交互式视频匹兹堡的乐队,黑蛾超级彩虹。
Radical Friend's BMSR video has been featured in boards, shots, Wired & Urb Magazine, Stereogum, Pitchfork, Motionographer and surprisingly, Kanye West's blog.激进的朋友的BMSR影片已在功能板,杆,有线和urb的杂志,Stereogum,干草叉,Motionographer和令人感到惊讶,Kanye West的博客。
In an interview, RF had this to say:在一次采访中,射频曾这样说:
What was the most difficult element of the project?是什么项目最困难的因素?
RF : A lot of the challenge in this video came in trying to find a balance between fully achieving the mood and look we wanted, while also making it possible for people to actually experience the video (in real-time) without totally freezing their computer. 射频 :甲,在这影片的挑战不少,在试图找到一种完全实现之间的心情和期待,我们要平衡,同时也使人们能够真正体验不完全冻结他们的计算机上的视频(实时) 。 Many standards with visual effects and compositing had to be re-thought in order to achieve this balance, and I think we pulled off what we were going for, although quite a few compromises had to be made for functionality.许多标准的视觉效果和合成不得不重新思考,为了实现这一平衡,我认为,我们脱下了什么,我们前往,虽然不少妥协,必须为功能性的。
How receptive were the band to this idea?如何接受了这个想法的乐队? Had they ever done anything like this before?如果他们做过类似的事情?
RF : I think BMSR were pretty inspired by what we sent them, they hadn't seen the Arcade Fire “Neon Bible” video so the idea of making a video you could interact with took them by surprise. 射频 :我认为BMSR人都很由我们送他们的启发,他们还没有看到商场火“霓虹圣经”的视频,因此使一个视频你可以互动的想法他们带来了惊喜。 The fact that you would be able to physically interact with their video made them very excited, because this kind of Technological Nature Magic goes hand in hand with their sound.事实上,你就可以亲身体会他们的视频令他们感到很兴奋,因为这种技术性质魔术类齐头并进凭他们的手。 When we first started discussing the idea it all seemed like this madman fantasy that wasn't really possible, so I think they were interested to see if we could actually pull off what we said we could!当我们第一次开始讨论的想法是这样的疯子一切幻想,这不是真的有可能似乎,所以我认为他们有兴趣,看看我们其实可以把我们拉说,我们可以!
Technically how did you put it together?技术上你怎么把它在一起呢?
RF : We had shot several days worth of time-lapse to get exactly what we wanted as far as transition between night and day and lighting shifts. 射频 :我们开枪价值数天时间推移得到正是我们希望尽可能过渡昼夜和照明的转变。 Next our matte painter pain-stakingly expanded on each frame to get the specific foreground landscape and composition we wanted. We then shot the live action elements in a way that would correspond to the lighting shifts.下一步我们的雾画家疼痛stakingly扩大每帧获得具体前景景观和组成的,我们想要的。然后,我们拍摄的方式,将符合照明转移居住行动的内容。 Then all of the 2D/3D animation elements were composited together in Flash (which is by no means meant for any kind of VFX!).当时的三维动画的所有元素都在Flash复合在一起(这决不是任何类型的视觉特效的意思!是)。 Next I put together a very rough interactive skeleton that demonstrated how we wanted the interactivity to work, we then sent this to our Action Script programmer in Toronto which is when the really crazy back and forth insanity began.接下来,我提出了一个非常粗略的互动骨架演示了我们想要的互动性的工作,我们然后发送给我们的行动在多伦多脚本编程,这是当真的疯了来回疯狂开始了。 Eventually we reached a version that would perform correctly on enough computers to have people actually experience this the way we envisioned, and that's when we sent it to the label.最后,我们达成了一个版本,将足够的电脑上执行正常的人其实有这样的经验,我们设想的方式,这就是当我们把它交给标签。
How did you make sure the different elements – jumping man, landscape, lighting all interacted?你是如何确保不同元素-跳跃的人,环境美化,照明都相互影响?
RF : Our cinematographer Kevin Phillips had some brilliant ideas as to how to light the jumper during the shoot that would make it possible to achieve the feel of directional lighting (of the sun) in post, and then also extend that to the viewer once it went interactive. 射频 :我们的摄影师凯文菲利普斯已就如何在拍摄过程中光,将有可能实现方向性照明(太阳)后,感觉,然后又延伸,为观众的跳投很好的构想,一旦去互动。 We ended up making a lot of animation layers of just tiny shadows and light play that were programmed to move simultaneously with the time-lapse, so it gives you the feeling that the environment and jumper are changing along with the sun.我们最终作出了公正和轻小阴影发挥这一方案提出了同时与时间推移动画层很多,所以它给你的感觉是,环境和跳线正在发生变化与太阳一起。
How did you arrive at the web cam idea?你是如何到达网络摄像机的想法?
RF : There were these crude tests from 2006 (using Flash) where you wave your hand in front of a web-cam and a red dot on the screen follows the movements of your hand. 射频 :有这些原油从2006年的测试(使用闪光灯),您波前一个网页你的手,凸轮和屏幕上的红点如下你的手的动作。 It's essentially the same technology used in video installations where insane programs like MAX/MSP Jitter are required, but here you could do it with a standard web-cam at your house.它本质上是相同的技术在视频装置用在这样的节目疯狂的Max / MSP抖动要求,但在这里你可以做一个标准的网络科技在你家里凸轮。 Knowing that all the new Mac laptops have a web cam built-in, we realized we could reach a decently wide audience.知道所有的新Mac笔记本电脑有一个网络摄像头内置,我们意识到,我们可以达到体面广泛的观众。 We wanted to take that technology and create something that would feel mystically beautiful and cinematic, where the technology that made it work was hidden and you would feel like you were using your body in some way to alter the environment and video.我们希望采取这一技术及创造的东西会感到神秘美丽和电影,其中技术,使工作是隐藏的,你会觉得你正在使用某种方式来改变你的身体对环境和视频。
And what about the mystic/neo-pagan aesthetic – what was that inspired by?那么,有神秘/新异教审美-那是什么启发?
RF : The last few BMSR albums have been very colorful sounding and almost folky in a very electronic way, while this new album sounds a little colder and in my opinion, slightly dark. 射频 :最后几BMSR专辑都非常丰富多彩的冠冕堂皇,很电子方式几乎folky,虽然这一新专辑听起来有点冷,在我看来,略暗。 Visually we had/have also been moving into the darker side of Psychedelia, and for this video we really wanted to create something that would capture that.我们视觉/如今也都进入迷幻黑暗面,为此视频,我们真的想创造的东西,将捕获的。 I think maybe its our reaction to the neon drenched imagery that's very big right now in art and videos (which is undeniably cool of course), but it was good to put something out there that feels fantastical in a different way and has a darker more mystical undertone.我认为,也许它的反应的霓虹灯湿透的图象非常大的影片在艺术和现在(这是无可否认冷静,当然),但它是把好的东西在那里的感觉幻想以不同的方式,具有更黑暗神秘的底色。
