fearmeforiampinkVia a friend on an #exalted IRC channel I'm on, I've found this awesome tool that does funky things with youtube videos.
(Warning: The various links (bar to the base site itself, the first one below) of these have lots of stuff going on all at once, so I can't guarantee that they won't cause epileptic fits, or otherwise cause problems for people who are sensitive to overload from such stuff.)
It's called yooouuutuuube.
The bit I like best is the mosaic function; it basically takes the video and splits it into small chunks, about 3-4 seconds, then shows those on repeat, adding more as the video goes on so that you have the whole video going on all at once at you.
Enough of me telling you. Go have a look. Or perhaps you'd prefer something a bit more musical (admission of interest/bias; the first of those two links is a video I made a few years ago).
I've tried it with quite a few videos, as far as I can tell what you want to make it good is stuff where enough is going on, and is going on in short bursts rather than long stretches, that the 3-4 second repeats work, and stuff where it's interesting visuals and interesting sounds, but it's not critical they intersect — it gets weird when you're looking for which of the many singers on screen is actually singing the current bit of song. That being said, the video I made is designed to have the words and sound being very syncronised, yet it seems to work (to me anyway, I'll admit possible bias). You can click and drag to move around and see a different layout of the video.
Second function is Zoetrope mode. It seems rather harder to find videos that this works particularly well with, especially with the default settings that have it moving quite quickly, and quite small videos, this is the best looking thing I've managed to make work with it. Again, if you have flux turned on, you can move stuff around in this, although it's quite easy to get to a point where you can see rather little of what's actually going on.
So, can anyone else find any other videos that go particularly well with this?
