I had a bit of struggle with my project, largely because it lagged my system to no end the more I worked on it.
My premise was simple: I was to take Michael Robinson’s experimental video, Hold Me Now, and break it up into colored and pixelated quadrants.
I have also gotten into this grotesque habit of using VS Code to do my assignments instead of P5. I think it’s because I’ve accidentally crashed P5 without saving it a few times, and interface-wise VS Code is a lot better.
I’m uploading the code to p5, but I can’t upload the video because it needs to be under 5mbs and I really tried but couldn’t get it much smaller than 11.
Here’s the link.
I had individual quadrants work, but I couldn’t get the whole thing to work. I think it’s because of the load on my system, but I’m not sure. I’m pretty sure I’ve done more demanding things on this laptop than this. I ran into a few issues putting the pixellation together. One that remained was my squares looking more like ellipses. I’m not quite sure why that happened but I couldn’t fix it.
