here are some new dbCinema images: http://vispo.com/dbcinema/kandinsky3
and some writing about them: http://vispo.com/dbcinema/kandinsky3/intro
i've created a new brush for my dbCinema app. so you can import flash swf
files and use them as nibs on brushes. the kandinsky3 images were all done
with the new flash brush.
you may know how, in photoshop, say, you can use or create and import
different brushes. they are static bitmaps. these brushes are animations.
in the kandinsky3 pics, a brush has two types of motion. the motion of the
flash animation. and the motion of dbCinema moving the flash animation along
some path.
during each frame of a dbCinema movie, the brush stamps out an image in the
*shape* of the current frame of a flash animation. the shape is *filled*
with part of some kandinsky painting. during the next frame of the movie,
the *shape* of the brush changes to be the shape of the next frame of the
flash animation. and where it is stamped onto the screen changes. and every
few (configurable) seconds, the kandinsky used to fill the shape is changed
to a different kandinsky painting.
so it's a um graphic synthesizer.

ps: Patrick viewed the earlier dbCinema images and wondered if I had a Naum
Gabo theme going on. I did not know his work. I see now (thanks Patrick) he
was a Russian constructivist (1890-1977) who did sculptural work with wires
and strings such as

ion.htm (be sure to get the full url, it's long). If you put his name into
http://vispo.com/dbcinema , you get quite a few images. Cool. I'm channeling
a Russian thing, apparently. Kandinsky and Gabo. Gotta love those Russians.
