Pyro Paper Planes - Endless Blue Christopher Foss 2014-04-14 | This is an original animated music video for the Digital Motion Graphics course at St. Lawrence College. There were many steps in the making of this project. My goal was to compose a piece that appeals to both the calculative and artistic characteristics of art. I decided the theme would relate to two theoretical mathematic infnites: Time & Space. The Creative ProcessFor everything to synchronize, I needed to create a musical piece that I could easily map to my animations and remain at a consistent pace. At 120 bpm, there is a beat for every half second. This resulted in the project evolving naturally throughout, as a new element to the animation and music could be introduced organically every 16 seconds.In order to visualize space & time, I decided that both elements should have their own principles of design. Space is represented by manipulated textures and voids that appear during the course of the animation. Time is symbolized by a consistent revolving clock.The clock presented an interesting a challenge. While visually simple, animating the hands was an interesting task. Due to the continuous motion of the hands, I needed to compose a looping animation. To accomplish this, I created a null object with an angle control. On the last frame (8 seconds), I added a keyframe to the rotation controller with a value of 1x (one full rotation). Finally, I pick whipped the shape's rotation controller to the null object. Both hands would rotate a full cycle. In order to increase the minute hand's cycle rate, I simply multiplied the expression.After pre-composing these layers, it was time to loop the animation. This was a surprisingly complex process. To loop the animation, I enabled Time Remapping for the pre-comp. After doing so, I added the code "loopOut()" to the new Time Remap expression. To avoid the loss of a frame for every loop, I created a keyframe a step before the final keyframe and proceeded to delete the last keyframe. This allowed me to loop the pre-comp for the entire duration of the project.An effect I found very fitting to the project was CC Radio Waves. This effect would consistently produce ever expanding polygon shapes, useful for a variety of effects in the project. Firstly, the effect is used prominently in producing the cogs of the clock. Secondly, the "ripple" also utilized this effect as a quickly expanding circle (with the addition of an echo effect). The "signal" was also a consistent pulse from this preset (with the addition of Time-Reverse).CC Radio Waves proved to be essential in creating not only shapes, but textures that would contrast the clock. These textures were distorted even further with CC Flo Motion. With both effects combined, fractal images were produced. This produced some mesmerizing effects, including a "tunnel" like infnitum.For the illusion of movement, I implemented the very fitting CC Starburst Effect. Over time, I increased the speed and decreased the scatter to give the illusion of motion. To give a depth to the project, I enabled 3D for every pre-comp and moved the camera towards the textures. Finally, I rotated the camera to disorientate the audience. This allowed the clock to continue rotating consistently while still changing its orientation.Finally, to complete the project, I applied minor opacity transitions for every pre-comp. I decided that the clock needed to exit the picture rather than fade out. To do this, I simply applied two pixel polly effects, and instructed it to occur at the end of the piece. The piece concludes with the clock exploding, giving a final sense of closure.

Metroid: Net Mission - SR388 Christopher Foss 2010-01-19 | Watch the video in 480p for the best sound quality.Composer: Ryohji YoshitomiArtist: Christopher FossDownload Link:http://www.mediafire.com/?zzleovnniowMy first composition of 2010! I composed SR388 last year using GarageBand. Now that I've gotten used to Logic Studio, I've given it a proper go. I've made in the style of a groovy techno beat. The song is to be used in a tutorial, or a menu of some sort.I apologize for not uploading anything in a long time. I've been very busy with several things:I've been busy with work with the holiday rush. My schedule is finally calming down a bit, so I have a bit of free time; I have recently purchased a Korg M3, which is a Keyboard Workstation. It really opens up my options in composing, but like all music, is very complicated, and will take me a little time to get used to. I do have a solo piano piece on the way, once I have the recording equipment up and ready; Finally, I have been taking a break. I have come to own a Playstation 3, and have sat down to enjoy some games, such as WipEout HD.Do not fear, I am still working hard on music. I am unsure when my next mix will come in, as I have been lacking inspiration. I am sure the Korg will give me a few ideas though. I also plan on uploading some of my 2009 "Concept" pieces: Songs that I started to work on, but never finished.This was made for the project "Metroid: Net Mission", which is a fangame. It's a 2D Metroid game, where you can select one of the many characters in the Metroid universe, and then battle it out with other players online. Currently, the physics engine is being worked on, and the game has a little while to go before being complete, but it's getting there.
