Another new one that I helped with for The Occidental Saloon. We filmed this at our new house right before we moved in. These guys were great to work with
Craziest location yet for The Occidental Saloon. We woke up early on a Saturday to get out on the ice and film these guys. Also, this was my first attempt at doing the 3D titles for our videos.
A video we shot with Isaac Russell. Filmed in a canoe on the Provo river.
Here’s my list of subscriptions on Google reader for 2010. Continuing my New Years tradition I will clear my feeds back to zero and start over again (although I will use this article as a reference for blogs that I start to miss early on).

My first experiment with Schiffman’s Kinect library for Processing combined with some experiments I’ve been doing with contour (topographical) line mapping.
See if you can make out our poor little dog on my lap wearing his cone due to his surgery last week.
Two new videos I helped produce with The Occidental Saloon
This is a visualization that I built with Processing to illustrate some of the processes of evolution that come from natural selection.
You can download it for Mac or PC here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/symbiosisvizual/
Here’s a full description of how it works:
The visualization starts with a “field” of food and two randomly generated “creatures”.
Each creature has the following attributes:
Age
Life Expectancy
Gestation Period
Mutation Rate
Health
Maximum Velocity
Agility (how often it changes direction)
In order for the creatures to survive they need to “eat” the food available. A faster moving creature loses health faster. A creature will die from not eating enough, not being healthy enough, or by reaching it’s life expectancy.
A creature gives birth to two children at the end of their gestation period. Based on the mutation rate of the creature it’s children will be slightly different from the parent. Approximately 1 out of 100 children will have a “major mutation”.
The appearance of the creature reflects it’s attributes:
Size = Life Expectancy
Color Hue = Mutation Rate
Color Brightness = Health
Border Hue = Age (black to white)
Border Thickness = Gestation
If the creature mutates past certain extremes it’s children will die.
If too many creatures are present (>2000) then there is a massive extinction
If all creatures die a new creature is spontaneously generated
Food will grow out from where it already exists. New food can also be added to the field with the mouse.
