There is something amazing about the way that muppets move. It is inspiring to me. In this series of videos I'm interested in extracting movement and color from videos and pushing it, manipulating it. This uses a custom process designed to extract the movement of pixels and misuse it in various ways. The imperfection of the "motion estimation" mixed with other image processing routines creates an image that is hybrid, extremely distorted, authentically digital, but still retains something of the original video's feeling, color, animation. Content is stripped away to reveal pure motion and color. This is part of a longer video that I'm working on for a video/print project
