2. The Art of Stop Motion…
v4q0&t=1m40s
RhDg&t=0m30s
Takes 10s (or 100s!) of hours.

3. Can We Make it Faster? “Play” the videos with a MIDI keyboard
“Play” the videos with MIDI file!
Automate video segmentation
Onset detection
Pitch detection
Ultimate Goal:
Input: videos and MIDI file
Output: a video that “plays” the MIDI file

4. Input Video and MIDI File
qDo&t=2s

6. Challenges Frameworks…. Onset detection is hard
Oh, quicktime. Why are you so bad?
Onset detection is hard
Try for a do-all solution?
Allow users to tweak parameters?
