Apologies for apparent laziness, and for not directing this at the Jitter

forum, but for reasons below I'm deliberately casting wide...

My wife is involved in a theatre piece for which they need a projection of

falling letters - you know the kind of thing, random slo-mo typewriter style

It sounds like the sort of thing that would be quite doable with Jitter, but

downloading/learning Jitter is still on my 'to do' list, and I find myself

too busy right now. I'm guessing that LCD might also be my friend here, but

I could probably do it in Final Cut Pro/Motion/Live Type, but was wondering

if there happen to be any such Max/Jitter patches already out there...?

The latest version of the collaboration "Urban Echo" from includes a visual like this (as seen at ICMC this year), written in Processing. The physics library extensions made it possible. Worth a look -

I've done a piece with several varieties of tumbling - intruding - rising- emerging letters and I

have to say the easiest way to do this(IMHO) use Flash. took a day to do a 9 minute visual poem.
