hidden within this shell of vdmx are two epic quartz composer patches, one dealing with pixel grids, dancing eq’s and transitions / compositing, and the other reading in and animating the user-generated content in the form of text and images. the layers are combined through two main custom image kernels, and there is much jiggery-pokery to get the custom animation styles such as undulating pixel transparency on the photos (another image kernel) and animating on the speech-bubbles (a lot of pain and maths in quartz composer)
