Adobe Can Has Science

Dan Goldman is an old friend of mine from ILM. He now works for Adobe's top-secret God Dammit Put This In A Product Now division.


Interactive Video Object Manipulation from Dan Goldman on Vimeo.

Its no Cartoon effect, but it's got promise.

And where Dan is standing is very nearly the exact view from my old cube at Adobe Seattle. Sigh... I miss Fremont and the salad days of 1999 -- my misspent youth.

Your friend is officially the coolest person in the world. But he'd be a lot cooler if he got these into CS5.

That is very, very cool. I'd like to see that merged with some of the outrageous video tools we saw demoed by MIT!

That is wickedly cool..

I aspire to someday work in the "God Dammit Put This In A Product Now" division of a company, because that's truly the best departmental name ever.

That is some pretty awesome indeed! I'd love to have that arrow-path tool to analyse reference clips.

That is awesome! Would love to see it also on CS5!

wow, finally some software which would allow me to create the high tech effects seen in the peter gabriel sledgehammer video but without all that stop motion nonsence.
i suppose potentially it wouldnt be a stretch to create a plugin in 3dsmax which rendered out a characters head from a range of angles and facial expressions and then do all the animation in 2d....very cool

No kidding, I saw something very similar last night.

This has automatic rotoscoping and 3D(?) tracking.

Wow.

this is awesome -- loved seeing the visualisation of the data points when the guys were walking in the woods...

Re. to the ability to drag stuff around on a video, I saw something similar quite recently, titled video browsing by direct manipulation -- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WcIy9O344bI

looking forward to seeing that functionality around soon consumers... keep up the good work!

This clip is Inspring!, I would for this to become a part of Adobe's new developments. It seems so easy to use and I could see this application used in many different ways!
