Eye Magazine’s Winter 2008 edition has finally arrived in my grubby hands. Took me a while to track down a copy (I guess the $30 price tag and the British origin keep it rare in these parts) but I finally found a copy of issue #70 at Fog City News (also the best place to buy designer chocolate in these parts).
I was asked to provide some high res images from the (unofficial) Goldfrapp video I made last year. Since that video was rendered out at 1280×720, I didn’t have anything larger to offer. I ended up running the code at a small resolution (500×500) and implemented Marius Watz TileSaver class. I coded in a few time-code triggers and went to get coffee. While I was gone, the program ran at a fast clip (nearly 30fps) and once it reached a time trigger, It kicked out a high-res still (6000×6000+). Looks great printed. I passed a few dozen of these images along to Eye and let them decide their fate.
I was pleased to see they decided to choose my work to be shown on the cover, framed by a ’silent character’ from the font ‘Replica’ which is also profiled within the pages of this issue. Read more about the collaboration on the Eye Magazine blog.
I am even happier with the full spread image they used as a lead-in to an article about digital craft. Like I said, it looks great printed!
