RewindsOfRewinds
For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph:"Rewind”, RewindsOfRewinds is coded in LiveCodeLab, Hydra, SonicPi & LiveCodingYoutube.
Rewinding Process
Took previous footage and original footage from the following Public Domain films
Fantasmagorie (1908, First Cartoon Ever)
Crazy Plane (1928)
Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902)
Steamboat Willie (1928)
Adjusted code that is portraying the concept of mangled lost film footage
Rewind to SonicPi Code written in 2016 as well as my first entry to the WCCC:
Rewind to LiveCodeLab written in 2021
Poem
Press the start button
As the day and its events
Begin to be summoned
How do you plan to transverse
This segments
That you couldn’t rehearse?
Which nutrients will give you the burst
To get past
Into the land that vast
Sustaining motions that can be able last
Be hold , for the times
That we take a pause
To rewind
And gives ourselves applause
Because we are still aiming
If the sun shines or it is raining
So with that said,
How are we moving ahead?
