Heading to Düsseldorf tomorrow for Beyond Tellerrand festival, so tonight's the last big push on the title sequence! Tidying & tweaking now!

@jamfactory.bsky.social - Gavin Strange [Jamfactory] Valid

Building a unique musical track for each speaker as part of the @beyondtellerrand.com titles! All created on the OP-Z šŸ‘

@jamfactory.bsky.social - Gavin Strange [Jamfactory] Valid

Right then, that’s all the @beyondtellerrand.com Title sequence Speaker graphics designed and connected to via MIDI in Unity… now time to make 13 new musical beats to drive the performance!

Just one week to go before BEYOND TELLERRAND and I’m in the thick of it with the titles! The visuals are nearly wrapped up, then it’s over to the music which will drive it all! It’s all coming from this lil guy - the OP-Z - which will provide the music and MIDI signals! I’ve customised it a lil!

I’m in the weeds now! Connecting up the different layers of each design and attaching it to a kick or snare or FX from the OP-Z. My Unity knowledge is beginner at best but I’m muddling me way through!!

Beyond Tellerrand is just 2 weeks away so it’s time to get these Titles ship-shape! After work / kids bedtime isn’t enough so searching the wee hours for more time! I haven’t done the 5-7am passion project time slot in quite a few years, let’s see if I’ve still got it in me!

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Back in 2018, at Aardman, I had to create a 'user manual' for the alien spaceship in 'Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon' movie!

Just a few weeks until Beyond Tellerrand [ @beyondtellerrand.com ] and I’m busy crafting the titles! I’m hoping to play the titles - live - via a combo of an OP-Z, GoPro, OBS and Unity!

Shaz is great. Everyone hire Shaz. He also has impeccable dress sense too. Fact. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

The OP-Z is going to feature pretty heavily in the Beyond Tellerrand titles, so I built a surround for it in LEGO so I can mount the GoPro onto it for live shenanigans!

No, *YOU* spent more of your own precious time making an animated holographic version of your silly PokƩmon in-joke!! #tcgpocket

I am here for my first rainbow border card! That’s what I love so much about this game, they get the tactile-digital feel so right! #tcgpocket
