The Archival Composite Did Not Land

A short Week 4 experiment proved that compositing many video and image sources was possible, while the final cut still failed to cohere.

Original note

Sometimes the project doesn’t quite come together. This was an idea hatched during Week 4, but isn’t quite it. I was taking the idea I learned in a prior week that threejs can composite video and turns out you can composite a lot of different video and images with a little ai help. However, it doesn’t mean it all comes together. This archival footage didn’t quite land.
