From a rough background

[coopernatural]

All,

Have uploaded to Mediafire an AV ‘From a rough background’.

http://www.mediafire.com/?ueoe2ej0oxv2u1k

Weighing in at just over 25meg and lasting 3min 37 seconds.

An experimental mix of classical works of art and some textures with stone,grass,wood,corroded and painted steel.

I’m sure if they were here now,Botticelli and Da Vinci would be holding me down while Vermeer would be landing a few punches.

Can’t say I’d blame them.

a work of art - the trasitions/fades/backgrounds were perfect

the only thing missing was the winking Mona Lisa that was floating around a few years ago - she would have been great for an ending

Thanks Ken,

I'm sure I will have another go at this.

Winking Mona Lisa Now that's an idea.

Maybe I'll up the age limit and include the Monty Python Venus animation for the intro

Lovely Davy, I loved the transitions. Wonderful work, well done!

Mark,

Thanks for watching and glad it worked for you.

I was none too sure about posting it.

Hi Davy,

Excellent piece of work. I really enjoyed this show with good transitions and well timed.

Your use of textures was also very good.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Hi Colin,

Like you I'm just having a bit of a fun with Photoshop.

Blending textures with artwork created some interesting effects.

I had originally made an AV featuring textures and behind them,an almost

ghostly presentation of these works of art.

It didn't work very well,so just developed the textures into the full blown artwork.

Works much better.

Thanks for watching and your comments.

Haven't downloaded your latest AV (version 2) but will do that later on.

Hi Davey,

Very very pleasing AV. The music was spot on.

It might well inspire me to finish an old sequence that I started a couple of yrs ago having watched one of Barry's AV's with the textured background.

Thank you.

Great texture images & the blending is spot-on, as is the music.

I found this most relaxing & enjoyable.

[Delicate]

Like your work a lot, and this is one of your good one.

Jan Vermeer is also one of my favorites, and I try to watch him live every time I'm travelling around.

He has also a lovely forename,

Anthony,Roger,and Jan,

Thanks all for watching and your comments.

Anthony,

Will be pleased if this will inspire you to do your own project.

No point in it gathering dust on an old hard drive. Look forward to it.

Roger,

I tried a bit of classical music,but it just wasn't working for me.

I used this piece of music {Sally's Dream) and timing with a more intimate sound

seemed to work much better.

Jan,

It was Jan Vermeer (also my favourite now) that started the AV.

Recently in the UK (BBC4) there was a documentary about him,his work and his life.

I was blown away with his talent. So I started looking for his artwork.

So I now have to thank 2 Jans' now.

Thanks again guys.

David P,

We must have been posting at the same time.

Thanks for the thumbs up.

I wonder how a cool ambient track would work with this

sort of thing.

I wonder how a cool ambient track would work with this sort of thing.

Being a 'cool ambient' fan most of the time, I think it would work very well, but it's not everybody's cup of tea.

Hi Davy,

Really enjoyed your AV, great concept,smooth transitions.

[coopernatural]

David P,

Think I might have a try at this. Might need your help with finding an ambient track.

Rick,

Glad it worked for you

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Davy,

Ah, I'll give you any help that I can, but I don't look for ambient tracks, I mix or even create my own. You are welcome to use any of mine, though. There are quite a few on http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=497334.

[Almark]

Some great sounds there David.

[coopernatural]

David P,

Very kind of you.

Just spent a bit of time having a nosey in on your huge catalogue

of tracks.Some ammount of work in there and am impressed.

I will spend a while yet on listening to them all.

Normally I build an AV sound first and pics last. Probably this would apply to

your tracks. The soundscapes you have made will provide a fair challenge and maybe

off my comfort zone with Photoshop.

I will pm you if I can come up with something that I think might work.

Thanks for the help,

Davy

[dpletts]

Thanks Mark and Davy. Any help I can give is yours for the asking. Use any of the tracks as you wish.

As I have been very busy with DigiDaub, and I still have a spin-off to finish, I have been neglecting the music, but I hope to add some more tracks in the not too distant future.

One of the reason's why I became interested in PTE was to add images to my music. Haven't actually done much of that as yet. There's still time.
