ASCII is an encoding system used to convert numerical values into Roman alphabet characters and other symbols. An encoding system is necessary because computers store data in number and not letter form. ASCII is the standard system used in most personal computers today.

ASCII Art
Because the earliest computers did not have the ability to render images as they do today, ASCII characters were initially used as a way to produce images on computers. ASCII art can either be still images or moving pictures.Roysac.com: The three ASCII Art Styles of the Underground Art Scene3 ASCII art uses ASCII characters to give a stippling effect to show areas of light and shadow. The technique is similar to the Pointillism painting style of Georges Seurat where several little dots comprise an entire image.
My intention to use the ASCII projector comes from a need for further texturing and effects. Also the abstracted characters should provide perfect stimulus for intricacies in the sync with the audio in terms of Drones, Subs, Glitch....
The intentions is that mixing layers in Final Cut in a Vj style, and masking sections that don't need blending, will add another dimension to the film, in turn making it more submersive and involving.
The content from the one minute film will be relayed through the ASCII projector. Rendered out and then sent through Final Cut and mixed to the desired result.
This should make masking easier as the shapes and movement within the frames will match the existing video exactly.
The colouring and tones in the initial edit look ok. I would like to intensify the blues to a more baby blue with more mid tones to exaggerate its contrast and features.
Slight adjustments need to be made to further sync up the audio to.
