Holographic Music (Watch in 1080p!)

This is the short film I created for my Masters in Animation and Visualisation at the University of Dundee. The idea was to see what music would look like travelling through the air. Inspired by the emerging science of Cymatics, I used footage of the my own music being vibrated through the Cymascope, (a machine created by John Stuart Reid) that allows the visualisation of sound through ultra fine water, and used VFX techniques to interpret and create a holographic 3D version.

A high quality version of the soundtrack is available for download here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/stretch-single/id879857181 https://play.google.com/store/music/album/Baldego_Stretch_Single?id=Bwz4lnz6aknodf3ubmqca3uvr3u http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stretch-Single-Baldego/dp/B00KHZ1HR8
