Some Random Dude

A while back, I posted a basic example of layout organizers and layout organizers applied to video. I kept talking about how cool I considered this idea to be, yet I had yet to truly explain the idea and (more importantly) the source code for people to download. I wanted to make sure the code was at a good spot before releasing it; I believe that is now the case. You will find examples, the basic gist on how it works and some possible reasons why layout organizers may just make your life easier.

A while back I published a small Actionscript experiment that sampled colors of video and displayed a matrix of the sampled colors it retrieved. I mentioned that I would be posting a follow-up once I ported all the code to Actionscript 3 and was able to do some interesting experiments with this technique. The current color sampler can give you the rgb code, red channel, green channel, blue channel, hue, saturation and brightness. It took a bit of time, but I have made five different motion treatments generated from my color sampling engine. The port of the color sampler class to Actionscript 3 made a significant difference in terms of performance and offered many more possibilities to what I could attempt. These five experiments are really just scratching the surface of what can be done with this technique - I have already thought of 3 or 4 different methods I would like to create.
