Getting my feet wet with some audacity bending. Still trying to get an idea of what effects all the effects have.


Here's a couple of those "made to look glitched" things you mentioned in the OP. It's just some stupid PS/AI technique I started doing to random pictures when I get bored.

that donkey kong one is so good. what effect was that?

I take the image into photoshop first and get it into cmyk color and split the channels. After that I turn each channel from greyscale to a bitmap using the "halftone screen" setting. Here you also want to make the output DPI 300. You have lots of options for the way it calculates this, you can make it do dots or lines or crosses as the shape of the black spots it uses to recreate the image. The line frequency is pretty self explanatory, bigger number means more lines are used to make up the picture.


Then I copy paste the channels into illustrator, apply color to them and move them around a little to give it that effect that makes it look like a printer went on the fritz.



I guess you might have thought I did these with audacity. There are some cool glitches in there, but nothing I found really interesting. I want to mess around with my capture card and some VHS I can screw with to see what kind of stuff I can make.

I think the switch I use with my capture card is haunted. I plugged yellow into the white plug, and got this result. The creepiest part was when I unplugged the audio out from the switch to kill the horrible screeching the picture cut out.

oh, idea! Split an image into separate r, g, b, save each as a greyscale, glitch each differently and then combine back into an rgb image.



What I edited and the glitched individual channels are available at http://imgur.com/a/04VRv

Artificially glitched GIF. I took the idea of messing with the individual channels and thought "what if a gif forgot how to put itself back together." The result was having each color channel run slightly out of sync with the others. Original

e. one without the nonsense. I could see these looking really cool with the right gif.

I revisited the concept of a gif that forgot how to put itself back together.

Incidentally I'm still writing the novel and a few months away from editing it so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. :)

You should try to mimic some classic video game glitches.
