Copepod Dies
Where did this sample come from?
This is from a stream near a grocery store near me. I was just about to finish filming for the day and I thought I'd just do one more slide. I saw a spec floating at the top of the jar and honestly didn't expect much from it. This video is of that spec. You really never know what your going to find.
Music Comments (art):
A friend of mine introduced me to the genre shoegaze. Though this definitely isn't shoegaze, I did get inspire to try to make some guitar like sounds. This one feels a bit more like pop rock with a bit of alt vibes.
Music Comments (technical):
I distorted some synths that were made with SurgeXT's string oscillator. I also used this boosting plugin by AirWindows called ResEQ2 all over this mix. Lastly I did a lot of stuff where I used AirWindows Zoom at values less than 0.5 to try and expand a lot of my tracks. Using zoom like that was pretty helpful since I used a respectable amount of compression and distortion on the 'guitars', and they ended up a little too squished for my taste.
How did I get it to look like that?
This is darkfield. I used a new trick I learned where you increase contrast using the curves tool. You take a stab a guessing the median brightness values and center the contrast around that value. I think it helped keep the tone similar but still allow me to increase contrast. I also bumped saturation and sharpened the video a bit.
