Naming and Demo Video of Frei0r #17

Closed namikiri closed 6 years ago

namikiri commented 6 years ago

Not an issue, but I didn't find any other way to ask questions that make me curious about this library. Frei0r's website, name and demo video even motivated me to commit two filters (see #7 and #9). Frei0r is a very impressive project! So I have some questions about it and I hope to get the answers.

The Name

What does Frei0r mean? Googling around didn't give me the answer, only small Wiktionary page that says that 'freior' means 'scare' in Occitan language. Who invented the name, what's behind it? Very interesting for me!

The 'Logo'

Additional attention is paid by me to the Frei0r's logo that posted on frei0r.dyne.org. What font is used to make it? And the line striked through zero, it's inverted! Any meaning or just a quick stub?

Demo Video

This video made me to love Frei0r forever. Its' strangeness, weirdness, the sample that is used to test Frei0r's filters — combination of these factors made this video best of demonstration clips ever. When I've watching it, music came to my head automatically. I've tried to add it and it fits perfectly! So, is there any version (maybe HD, or remastered, or in higher resolution)? How did you make it? Programmatically or using software that uses Frei0r?

And again

I want to thank everybody who contributed and supports Frei0r, the most impressive project for me.

Hi, I believe the name frei0r comes from Norwegian, and has rather a rude translation.

I made the demo video using LiVES and a perl script which tests each plugin's parameters. I had not seen the version with music until now but I think it fits very nicely.

@salsaman Hi! Norwegian is an interesting idea too but I want to see an 'official' reply from the founders or those who was nearby about meaning of Frei0r, even if it will be rude (I'm not sensitive to offensive speech).

Is the test video yours? Can you share the script and write a brief manual how to reproduce the same video? I want to make an HD version of it with most recent plugins with the same music.

I made the test video, feel free to use it as you wish, but it would be nice to mention that it was produced with LiVES.

The script is distributed with the LiVES source code, you can find it st tools/lives-rte-test.pl. Just run it and it will give you instructions.

Once you have it up and running just press 'r' in the LiVES application before running te script and the output will be recorded.

Regards, Salsaman.

@salsaman Thank you! I've built the Frei0r and LiVES packages, installed them and even could run the test script, but now I have some questions.

Why the test is so fast? Why there is no generators (or they pass too fast)? How to slow it down? How to add other Frei0r effects like my glitch0r/rgbsplit0r?

And is there any way to contact you excepting this issue (to stop flooding it)?

Feel free to email me directly at salsaman+lives@gmail.com, or better yet, join the lives-users mailing list and ask there (instructions on the LiVES site).
