SÍODA'S SOUNDCLOUD FRAG CANNON

Audiovisual set made for Buelfest, an internet music festival (or URLfest) run by a friend of mine. There are no real rules or limitations when it comes to creating something for Buelfest, but generally it’s encouraged to feature her dog, Bueller, and to make something that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I had a lot of fun with this one.

The music in this set is not my creation; it’s just a handful of random tracks I enjoy that I found on SoundCloud. But each song or mashup has a unique visual scene paired with it, and those visuals were made entirely by me.

Most of the work for these scenes was done in Tixl. Each scene was built and rendered out individually, and then combined after the fact in Davinci Resolve - with care taken to ensure all the music stayed in sync.

The asset management for this project was surprisingly complex! In order to get the crazy displacement effect on the car visible from 9:07, I had to import every component of the car’s mesh as a separate OBJ file and arrange them together in the visualiser scene. This let me apply random offsets to the positions of each one individually.

Tixl doesn’t yet support rigged or animated models, so in order to give the 3D scenes a sense of movement, I used OBJ sequences exported from Blender. You can see this in the mole scene from 12:05, as well as in… whatever’s going on between 6:20 and 7:40.

Here’s the set:
