Content Creation for Intelligent Digital Disk Recorders




This is an edited version of a video loop that presented the students' credits for our final concert lab. The artist was a Rush cover band. I chose a retro motif similar to the that of Rush's "Time Machine Tour".

Time and access to the Adobe Creative Suite in the lab room was limited. I had to use the tools that I could afford at home. I used Vectorworks (educational version) to assemble the image, Gimp (free/open-source) to retouch the image and Sony Vegas (software I have been using for years) to add the text and video effects.

This content was projected onto two large projection screens that are hung from the ceiling on each side of the stage. It was played in a loop during the pre-show as guests walked into the venue. The playback device was a Grass Valley IDDR.
