SYSTEM

What is Ressentir ?

It is a universal visual filter that communicates emotion , context and sound to enhance cinematic experience. With the help of this visual system augmented in videos , one can watch any digital content without audio.

What is needed today ?

A system which can smartly improve cinematic experience through the use of superimposed visuals.

Why do we need it ?

Cinematic experience is completely lost without audio. People who can not hear find it exceptionally hard to follow along since there are no visual queues that can serve as an alternative to audio.

How is the problem solved ?

A visualizer that communicates emotion , context and sound by harnessing dynamically changing shapes , warmth of colors and rhythm of visual pulses. A unique language that translates all aspects of audio into video.

Cinema = Video + Audio

Process

Coming up with a very dynamic and easily comprehensible visual filter for any recorded content was a challenge. The design process is quite long and had several iterations for each attribute. The visualizer was designed to precisely communicate all attributes of the video and serve as an alternative to audio. The design process includes multiple iterations of simulations.

Solutions

A series of well refined simulations visually demonstrating how these filters can be effectively be incorporated in videos. Two distinct approaches include the usage of icons and overlays to enhance movie experience.

Explorations

The visualizers have gone through turbulent changes and have been modified based on where and how it can be seamlessly incorporated in any sort of recorded content. Each version serves a specific purpose .There are both 2-Dimensional as well as 3-Dimensional visualizers , being driven by the exact same input parameters. These prototypes can provide endless possibilities .
