PACK ⬕ Tracking Corp
We live in the age of everything being tracked. Corporate chasing that money. Gov watching the masses. But I think computer vision is a strange thing to directly experience since it's typically hidden away. It's particularly interesting to watch the tracking errors and remember that the world is becoming increasingly automated by AI models with little human oversight.

I've always steered clear of using any pre-made stock footage in my VJ packs, but in this specific instance it was actually the perfect way forward. I was aiming for two central themes: tracking data of crowds/cars/airplanes and then also the banal corporate obsession with tracking data but ironically mapped back onto itself. I ended up sticking with using footage only from Pixabay and Pexels since their license terms were very clear that I could commercially distribute the footage so long as I creatively modified it.

I had to jump through all sorts of technical hoops to pull off the next steps. I wanted to use the Blace FX to block out the eyes of each person and then use the Vision FX to overlay tracking boxes/labels, although I realized that both of these FX are very heavy to render out from After Effects and yet I wanted to create some glitch variations. So I had no choice but to pre-render so that I could bake the Vision and Blace FX into the footage. While waiting for those AE renders to finish, I got curious of what sort of other object tracking visualizations that I could do. I tested out the ComfyUI-MotionDiff extension to generate OpenPose footage. I also tested out the ComfyUI-DepthAnythingV2 extension to generate depth maps footage.

This has been the most tedious project I've worked on in a long time but I love the end result. I wanted to make even more variations but this VJ pack was already humongous. But I'd suggest throwing a threshold FX on the DataOverlaySolo scenes for some gritty vibes. Or maybe some VHS noise FX to make it feel like security cam footage. Welcome to the future, it's full of glitches.
