Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to analyze and examine the production process of music visualization used during the live performances. The focus was on video manipulation techniques which later were applied in the Multicast Dynamics – Aquatic System project. This thesis describes in details the creation process of visualization from the perspective of a novice, who gains professional experience through a series of the live performances.
The theoretical section explores the terms that allow a better understanding of the process of visualization. It starts from a historical background of synchronizing film and music and then discovers the ways of video manipulation. The concept of Live Cinema combines previously described chapters into one whole.
This study was carried out as a project by using artistic research method. The empirical part consists of detailed preparation and progression of the project, active reflection and analysis. The artistic research was supported by data collected from 20 members of the Aquatic System audience. These results suggest that the visualization was successful and that it is valuable addition to the music played live.
