Max is used in every way imaginable. Initially designed as a prototype tool for creating custom GPS experiences on a laptop computer the idea was to create a modular reusable framework using coll objects for assigning GPS coordinates to a particular movie and for creating lists of text to speech scripts using the aka.speech object. aka.bookmotion provides 2 degrees of freedom for calling up a map and approximating the horizon. cv.jit objects and jit.findbounds are used creatively to emulate markerless tracking (based on luminosity and mass). Dynamic chromakeying, assisted by jit.3m, was also used to create the volcano effect at the end. Special thanks go out to _vade for his glitch effect patch which was used heavily in this work.
