BIrdman Processing Via Touch Designer

 Over the last few months, I've been working on a custom Touch Designer network inspired by the Dave Jones Frame Buffer (which I first was introduced to in the 1980's during my residencies at the Experimental Television Center). Although I started with a focus on the core functionality his device provided, of course I couldn't help myself from adding extra features as I build out the project. 

(More details on the DJFB project later. For now I simply want to show a couple of interesting processing presets applied to some found footage from Ancient Aliens of a Native American Bird Man ritual dancer.)
