That project is the LSD of coding.
- you get instant visual feedback
- the problem space is infinite and depends heavily on framing and psychology
- success is a moving target based on subjective goals
IMO, "build a system for X" is usually a trap. It's psychologically safer to "build a system for music videos" than to actually make a music video.
- andoando 2y agoFunny you say that. I got the inspiration in part from weed hallucinations. I'd be listening to music and when I closed my eyes, I'd see this moving beautiful 3D colorful visuals. I thought it was astonishing that our brain could come up with these geometric structure and transform them in any way possible. I've spent ALOT of time thinking about the minute details of what Im doing when I imagine shaping/shifting objects in my brain, etc. In my mind, this is far more than just about music videos, that was just my initial goal. But yeah you're 100% right, its an endless pit of trying to do everything and constantly moving goal posts. I wish I stuck to doing something simple and fun and gone from there.
