Open-source performance

Music video made with Kinect + Processing + Cinema 4D + After Effects. The 3d footage was captured using a a Microsoft Kinect, using Processing to store the sequence files and Cinema 4D R12, with some built-from-scratch python tag scripts to read these sequence files to Cinema 4D in real-time. Files and code available online at: http://moullinex.tumblr.com/post/3180520798/catalina-music-video
