CT55.A7 · MIDI Flowers

A flower emitter swirls and swoops at waist height, travelling to the right through one of three scenes — a town at night, an autumn town at Halloween, a Kali shrine. Flowers gush out, swirl, fall under gravity and stay, casting soft shadows; you look down at them past the chandeliers and lights. It starts already going: travelling, emitting and swirling. Click anywhere once to turn the sound on.

Buttons (and keys)

◀ Scene ▶1–3 , .the three scenes
● RecordVstarts a movie with sound; press again to stop — the MP4 downloads
▶ TourTone press makes a movie of every scene: each plays 15 s from its opening state with the pulse joining in, fading through black, with its name; at the end the MP4 downloads (press again to stop early)

Camera

Drag = turn around / tilt · right-drag (or Shift-drag) = move the view · wheel = zoom · double-click = back to the starting view. The camera stays inside the scene: it never goes through a wall, the ceiling or the floor. The view follows the emitter; F switches following off/on. H hides the text over the picture, M mutes.

Movies

The movie is the picture only (not the buttons), at the picture's real pixel size, 60 frames a second (30 with the selector in the MIDI panel), with the sound. It plays at the speed you see when not recording; while recording, the screen may run slower — that does not reach the movie.
