What To Do With Reaction Diffusion?

 After those examples posted previously (below), you might ask just how would I incorporate reaction diffusion into my video work? Here is an example compositing with my 'ghost bark' footage.

Feedback Processing in OBS - Part 6 - Golden Butoh Dancer

Final examples of video FX processing found footage of Golden Butoh (Daidogei) Dance Troupe from Japan. The samples are all based upon feedback processing and reaction diffusion rescan effects within OBS.

Demons or tormented souls for possible inclusion in River Styx video program. 

Feedback Processing in OBS - Part 3

As mentioned in the previous post, as part of the class "homework" assignment, Andrei Jay tasked participants to focus on generation of reaction diffusion field patterns in OBS feedback processing. In these experiments, a video of lightning is used to help "trigger" the diffusion patterns.

Feedback Processing in OBS - Part 2

As part of the class "homework" assignment, Andrei Jay tasked participants to focus on generation of reaction diffusion field patterns in OBS feedback processing. (Such diffusion patterns are a common element of Andrei's own work, as well as his hardware devices such as the RPi-based Waaave Pool and the new HD-based Gravity Waaaves. [You can find to more about his image processing products here.]

To get these reaction diffusion effects, it's important that the feedback camera be zoomed into the source frame pretty deeply (unlike the feedback shown in the previous post of rowing on the lake - where the camera was not zoomed in at all). Also, constant fine readjusting of various color correction filters such as gamma, saturation, brightness, and contrast is required to trigger and maintain the diffusion feedback generation.
