Flocking Birds

More often than not, the pipeline for a project gets overshadowed by the end result. The process of getting from point A to B is often overlooked because point B is just sooo damn sexy. But it doesn’t have to be that way. No really, it doesn’.

Nando Costa from Nervo approached Barbarian Group and asked if they would help out with a project his new motion graphics company  was working on for Fox Movies Japan. He needed videos of flocking behavior. He wanted a couple videos of flocking using a 3D crow, and because of the tight deadline, Barbarian Group opted to script this in Processing. This then resulted in the functionality to capture images and a certain sequence which could later be saved back to video.

The Generative Art Initiative aims to showcase the best examples of the artform to the world. Generative art is art or design generated, composed, or constructed through computer software algorithms, or similar mathematical or mechanical autonomous processes. The most common forms of generative art are graphics that visually represent complex processes, music, or language-based compositions like poetry. Other applications include architectural design, models for understanding sciences such as evolution, and artificial intelligence systems.
