FreeFrame (Andrea Terrasa)

While playing with some of the FreeFrame effects on Isadora, I discovered that I like three of them in particular: Kaleidoscope, Tile, and Wave.

Kaleidoscope is an interesting effect to use on more than one image. It makes the images appear as though they are being seen through a kaleidoscope. I placed this effect on both of the videos that I used. The videos differed, however, in the timing and shapes of the kaleidoscopes. It was interesting to see how a single FreeFrame effect could be overlapped with different settings.

Tile breaks up the video into smaller versions that are organized into rows and columns. This is interesting to use when you want to call attention to a certain aspect of the clip or to emphasize repetition and a large quantity. It's also interesting to play with the angle of this effect to create a completely different mood.

Wave is useful for sequential and drawn out movements. It draws out certain movements as others commence like a "wave". This effect seems never-ending.  It looks as though someone is taking snapshots of the clip, but it never stops moving.
