视频剪辑的视觉上孤立飞行路径的鸟类

罗得岛设计学院教授、艺术家丹尼斯·赫林斯基(Dennis Hlynsky)想知道，如果他能更好地追踪单个鸟类的飞行轨迹，会发生什么事?2005年，Hlynsky第一次开始用小型翻转录像机拍摄鸟类，但现在使用Lumix GH2记录下从罗德岛周边地区千兆位的鸟类镜头。然后，他用After Effects和其他工具编辑剪辑，以创建简短的可视路径，来说明每只鸟的移动路径。你看到的这些鸟不是数字动画的，也不是分层的，而是它们飞行时的样子，创造了一种暂时的延时。

Chances are if you’ve on the internet over the last few years you’ve run into a few amazing bird murmuration videos, like this one from Islands and Rivers or the one we featured on Colossal from Neels Castillion, where countless numbers of starlings flock together and move almost impossibly in concert. Artist Dennis Hlynsky, a professor at the Rhode Island School of Design, wondered what would happen if he could better trace the flight paths of individual birds, what kinds of patterns would emerge from these flying social networks?Hlynsky first started filming birds in 2005 using a small Flip video recorder, but now uses a Lumix GH2 to record gigabytes of bird footage from locations around Rhode Island. He then edits select clips with After Effects and other tools to create brief visual trails that illustrate the path of each moving bird. Non-moving objects like trees and telephone poles remain stationary, and with the added ambient noise of where he was filming, an amazing balance between abstraction and reality emerges. The birds you see aren’t digitally animated or layered in any way, but are shown just as they’ve flown, creating a sort of temporary time-lapse. Above are three of my favorite videos, but he has many more including the movement of insects, ducks, and other animals.
