I also haven't figured out the title but it might be that. Sorry for the silliness...

What about the color LCD? Is it just a polarizer, the crystal, a piece of plastic, another polarizer and the crystal turns the light to a different angle depending which color is to show? Or how does it work?

Pixtxa

I realized those crazy colors when playing with polarizers and watched the simple black&gray LCD of the heating control that's behind a piece of plastic and also when watching on my screen that had a piece of clear sticky tape on it (I had no post it). But I never thought of such nice use cases.

Video is gooood! I have minor opinions I can share in the hope that they're useful, and does not matter if they're not agreed with. Just hoping to contribute: In a few places near the start, eg: around 3:11, it's more or less "coc**n" with the bleep late in the sound, in those cases it feels a little rough, the joke may run better if it's consistently "****in" or "c***in" (though the deliberate miss later is funny). Basically bleeping out the "cock" consistently. The other thing is, I think it won't be obvious to a general audience, even past the explanation at ~4:55, that you're rotating the filters around the camera axis. Some may get lost at ~3:48 when the colours change strongly, and stay lost a while. In the preceding scene when you rotate the filters, the image doesn't change enough to register what's happening. Something like splicing in 2 seconds just the video of the science demonstration from later ~6:30, would help? Or any other clip that clearly visually shows changes due to rotation (without giving away your discovery). The silliness worked for me, though I'm a slightly silly person too. Maybe only the "oh man it's so extreme" line ~9:40 might be unnecessary? It's funny cutting to you with the CD case, but the tone of the spoken line doesn't match other parts of the video and you already have the end gag with that joke. Which you have as "candidate for removal" but I like. The filter drop at ~5:30 is funny, but the commentary is already the punchline, so could cut the line "that went well"? But silly is fun!

Thanks! I actually made a shot where you see the filter rotating but wanted to keep the scene flowing :) Yeah the "So extreme" joke is a citation from a movie but I think very few people will get that so I should perhaps remove it.

I think you've already seen the "Strange Color LCD's" video but that was my attempt at explaining it 😁 Basically it uses the 'birefringence' effect to create color, by changing the lightness of the display. So it can display 3 grayscales, but because of the filtering effect these grayscales show up as different colors. On YouTube I'll add a link to that video.

Come to think of you, you might be right, it would be better to add that rotation explanation to the first part. Perhaps I can still change that without messing up the timing (of the music).

Yes, I've seen it, but hadn't guessed it's that 'simple'. I'm a huge fan of the FSC LCDs like on the Tetris game in the video. It would be perfect for things like Flipper Zero. But I've never seen them using their full potential: Without backlight: Verry energy saving, readable in sunlight Using RGB as simple backlight: Black on free chooseable background color Using RGB for FSC: 7 Colors on white (standard) But also, when using FSC, the background doesn't have to be white; you could show a red and black warning message on yellow background when disabling the blue channel. Or blue text on magenta. But I haven't seen them doing such things.

Thinking more about it, maybe you could add a short explanation about other use cases of the birefringence effect than just making cool photos/videos, like "converting grayscale LCD to color LCDs" and "making mechanical stress visable". Also, how did you film the speaker? Have you just used a screen as light source?

posy

Good point on the speaker, it is just the reflections that are polarized by nature, (like the water and the sky), resulting in the colors. Perhaps I can say that in the video. In this video I focus on the 'filter effect' of birefringence 🙂 I think other uses would be a separate video though I'm not sure how I would do that at the moment. Regarding FSC, I saw a video of a FSC LCD computer monitor. It's advantage was apparently extreme brightness. I wonder if that's still developed today.

Not too silly (other than the intro, hee)! Bleeping Cokin is really funny. I don’t understand why it being dark and thick is “unnecessary,” other than also being funny! My first watch I thought you layered the CD case/screen protector over the Cokin but I think it’s because I got caught up there.

Awesome video, stunning sound design and visuals. Seeing you create that colour effect with something as mundane as a CD jewel case blew my mind. Excited for the EP, I heard some of these tracks in Inhoudsloos before and thought they were very nice ;) And as always you edit the music perfectly to match the storytelling in the video. As for the sillyness/editing, I mostly agree with Petey although I found the “it’s so extreme” line quite funny (even though I don’t get the alleged film reference) so I’d personally keep it in. At 5:44 you say something like “babbel babbel” that confused me a bit? But no big deal to the overall watching experience. Cheers :) Rob

An Inhoudsloos listener!! Are you the mysterious fourth listener? 😁 Thank you, yes the 'double bubble' thing is something I say when I do a double exposure ever since I misspoke... 😉 The dance track will be named after it so I have to keep it in... Topic for a lazy video perhaps...

posy
>>168613985

Thanks :) Why is dark and thick funny.. Did I unintentionally extend on the ****in joke? 😳 That might be inappropriate... 😓 Anyway the reason it's unnecessary is because with a thin piece of thin film and a polarizer, an identical effect can be achieved.

Please don't call these filters useless in a technical sense: They have given me an idea for a color schlieren setup I am currently working on.

Nice! Let me know if I can see the results somewhere :) I'm hoping do do Schlieren myself some day, but the problem is that my house is too 'wiggly'. Even in the shed there's always some vibration from nearby water and traffic.
