Encountered Problems

after speaking to several artists and tutors, I began to realize that the program that Zac was using to create the audio visuals was totally unnecessary and making things more difficult for us than it had to be, when there is already many ready available programs out there which do the job perfectly. But instead he decided to completely re write his own program which took up a lot of the time of the project and encountered a lot of problems and set backs. I felt like because the software was so advanced and beyond my level of coding, I didn’t really get the opportunity to gain much learning from our collaboration like I could have if we had used software such as Mad Mapper, Processing or even Max MXP.

Even though we did manage to produce some good visual imagery and successfully create an audio visual responsive software I believe that if we had spent more time actually focusing on the visuals we could have produced a lot more quantity of work at a better level.
