So, this is what I've been working on for my final project for Pixel by Pixel. So, what is it I am actually doing? I am currently taking a still image and compositing part of it and placing live video behind it that is being processed to be converted to CMYK from the RGB color space. Why do this? I'm interested in the whole content associations that are established with color spaces (probably because I have dealt and worked two long with both worlds and have utterly lost my mind dealing with color spaces, proofing, and the like). Print (C.M.Y.K.- Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, & Black), has a certain of weight and value to it inherently due to the costs associated with mass production print as opposed to the RGB color space. RGB (Red, Green, & Blue) is seen basically in anything that is video, tv, your computer, your camcorder, digital camera, etc. Even though on the high end with broadcast video there are large budgets and big dollars being thrown around on one side of the spectrum there is also the other end which is the person who has that crappy Hi-8 camcorder, little point and shoot digital camera, or even just a computer. All of these use the RGB color space and so there is a wide gamut of who has access to these technologies. The biggest issue thus far with this project was trying to figure out a work around for the issue of two video buffers of different sizes eventually being put into the same destination buffer, aka GWorld, (no relation with Ghandi the rap star formerly known as G Spot"). On that note, go watch Clone High (why did you cancel it MTV!) and I am back to work on trying to make this program work faster than a putrid 9fps.
