 | Bach: WTC book 1, 24 scales - chromatic sequence Part 2 of 2. The contrasting 24 keys of Bach's "Well-tempered clavier", played in chromatic sequence (as printed in the book): which brings out much more contrast of character from each piece to the next. Part 1 presents the same recordings, but in circle-of-fifths sequence to hear the gradual modulation. Part 1 is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6ikS0b0p9w The question asked of each prelude/fugue is: IF we were try to retune the instrument per composition, exactly which notes are required in each one, and where should they be? And, what happens when the composition asks for two differently-spelled notes sharing the same key lever, such as D# and Eb? [Coming from the meantone-oriented systems of the 17th century, the D# should be tuned MUCH LOWER than the Eb.] Peter Williams has asserted in print (_The Life of Bach_, 2007, p336): "For all one knows to the contrary, the intention in the Well-tempered Clavier could have been for the player to tune for each key as it was studied, something not requiring great skill. That no individual piece in WTC modulates very far means that no key needs to be tuned except for the piece concerned, even if theorists, who have no thought of playing all twenty-four in sequence, do not say so." Well...that assertion collapses immediately when we study the music closely, listing all the required notes within each prelude/fugue. There are only a few preludes/fugues in the book that stay within 12 notes. Most use 13, 14, or 15 with these enharmonic overlaps. On a standard 12-key-per-octave keyboard, tuning compromises MUST be made to handle these dual-function notes. That is a major point of my research. The music itself constrains any proposed temperament to a small range of compromises in which this enharmonic swapping works passably, playing these compositions that go beyond 12 notes. Bach's drawing on the title page (see http://www.larips.com) then provides the final necessary 10% of detail within that already-narrow range, showing exactly where and how those compromises should be made. The drawing shows what a skillful tuning procedure entails, adjusting which intervals and which relationships, so this one practical temperament can be left in place to play the entire book. (Furthermore, retuning-per-composition isn't feasible anyway on a fretted clavichord, but only on harpsichords.) The recorded excerpts are from Peter Watchorn's 2-CD set, released 2006, used by kind permission of Dr Watchorn and Musica Omnia. Another related video explains why F# and Gb are not the same note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnzGDx-JJ1o Bradley Lehman, http://www.larips.com |

 | title sequence of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Very interesting title sequence indeed, which is created by, none other, Danny Yount. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a 2005 crime/comedy film, which follows many conventions of the classic film noir genre. It is based, in part, on the novel Bodies Are Where You Find Them by Brett Halliday.

 | Carl Sagan - Contact - Opening Sequence This is the beautiful opening sequence to the film Contact based on Sagan's novel of the same name, remixed with Slowdive's hypnotic, meditative piece Good Day Sunshine. Our connection with the Cosmos is intrinsic, echoes of which haunt our motivations and dreams, of wonders existing far beyond our imaginations. Science and religion are but sublimated yearnings for Truth... |
 | The Book of Erania (Opening Sequence) This is the opening of a film created by my students in a theater camp this past summer. While I am a professional fight cooordinator, and post sound guy, my camera & after effects are humble at best. The actors are all kids with the exception of two teachers who helped us out. It was shot on no budget on a small patch of grass behind the playground of the school. |

 | SOCO Main Title Sequence This one is obviously inspired by the graphic novel Sin City. We took the comic book treatment to heart and even placed word balloons throughout the 3d city. Videos we're placed adjacent to the 3 crime scenes we simulated. When all the settings were perfect, we let the camera run wild. :) ----------------------------------------------------- Design, animation, compositing - Ivan Despi 3d modeler - Rakesh Sandhu |
 | Survivor Opening Title Sequence Opening title sequence for motion graphics class. Based on the book "Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk. This is my first time doing a title sequence. I don't know how to edit audio. I don't have my own camcorder. I got the clips from here and there. The concept for the opening was you're a witness to a religion as it turns from something you thought was good into a mass suicide cult. Music: Etta Jones - Swing Low (sweet chariot) Theme from Requiem for a Dream (remix) Go read the book, its good. |
