Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll use the creative Processing creative coding environment to link and synchronize visual assets with audio material. You’ll start by simulating a 3D landscape, then animate a camera flight through the landscape, before cohesively setting your movie to music to create a music video.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.

project authors

Mathias Funk
Dr. Mathias Funk is an Associate Professor in the Future Everyday group in the Department of Industrial Design at the Eindhoven University of Technology. He has a background in Computer Science and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology. Since 2011, he has taught creative programming, computational prototyping, and designing with data and connectivity, and built tools for design researchers.
Yu Zhang
Dr. Yu Zhang has a background in fine arts and design. Her Ph.D. research investigates the theory and artistic practice of interactive technologies for public, large-scale installations. As a researcher and artist, she approaches visual art with mixed reality installations and projections, sensor-based interactives, and computational arts. She has been teaching design and art in international workshops and higher education for over ten years.

prerequisites

For Java programmers interested in developing or rediscovering their creativity with easy visual computing techniques.

TOOLS
  • Basic Java
  • Basics of Processing
TECHNIQUES
  • Basic debugging using the Processing console
  • Basic math such as linear algebra (vectors and vector addition) and geometry

you will learn

In this liveProject, you’ll expand your perspectives on programming and turn a professional task into a fun activity once again. By revisiting computational concepts from a creativity-inspired angle, you’ll learn how code can be an expressive and explorative tool instead of just a problem solver.

  • How to create three-dimensional scenes using the Processing canvas and 3D coordinate system
  • How to create a camera flight with 3D transformations and the Processing camera functions
  • How to animate objects in 3D
  • How to work with Processing audio playback
  • How to render a movie in Processing and align it with a music track
