VJ Suave

Ceci Soloaga and Ygor Marotta are a duo of audiovisual artists based in São Paulo, Brazil.

VJ Suave bring something colorfully unique to the international panorama of audiovisual art. They have been combining street art and projection mapping since 2009.

Thanks to their innovative audiovisual approach, they are able to travel around the city with portable projectors and draw with lights on the streets, buildings and landscapes. In real time. Improvising. Like a graffiti writer would do.

Audiovisual and street art are in my opinion the true forms of contemporary art, as they reduce the distance between the art world and the people. They speak a more familiar language than any other art forms. They are anti-elitist by nature, not as a result of a specific political statement.

Vj Suave audiovisual live stories are called “Suaveciclos”. They make use of Tagtool, an app for tablet allowing drawings in real time.

These itinerant projection mappings are colorful, imaginative and highly engaging. Kids absolutely love them as they perceive immediately the drawings are made specifically for them to play with.

VJ Suave create fantasy friendly characters on the go that take on the streets, riding on ethereal light beams. As they come they disappear. Only to then reappear somewhere else. Constantly playing catching up.

It’s very hard not being immediately charmed by their delicately funny audiovisual storytelling. And there is no reason to resist! Their communication with the audience is honest, inspiring and most importantly inclusive: none is left out in this projection mapping extravaganza.

More recently the audiovisual artists have been taken a step further allowing the viewers to step into their visionary world by using VR.

In their enchanted forest (“Floresta Encantada”) the explorers are invited to build relationships with the native inhabitants of the forest: indigenous and animals. A very powerful example of how virtual reality can be used to get us closer to our ancestors and the natural world rather than alienating us.

The viewer is invited to find their own inner harmony with the sounds and visual elements of the forest in order to become unified with the surrounding environment. The result is an unique experience with plenty of food for thoughts to be snacked upon.

As we often advocate the meaningfulness of the artistic experience depends on the artist intent more than on the tool that is being used.

ProRes RAW: la RAW-volution?

Le ProRes Raw a été annoncé lors du dernier NAB et depuis quelques semaines, on peut l’enregistrer sur les Atomos Sumo et Shogun Inferno depuis la sortie d’une EVA1 par exemple. Mais au fait, le ProRes RAW, qu’est ce que c’est? Est-ce vraiment une révolution, et… Comment ça marche? Petit tour d’horizon des possibilités offertes, et des limites.

Le RAW, pour ceux qui l’ignorent, c’est la possibilité en vidéo, de faire la même chose qu’en photo: enregistrer absolument toutes les données brutes du capteur sans aucun traitement de la caméra et confier cette tâche d’interprétation de l’image à la post-production.

Avec le RAW, c’est un peu comme si on développait une pellicule après la prise de vue. Avantage: on ne perd rien en terme d’informations et on peut donc quasiment tout rectifier en colorimétrie etc. On augmente aussi la dynamique puisque dans les très hautes lumières et les ombres, on peut récupérer presque tous les détails. Inconvénient majeur, le poids des données est énorme. Il peut atteindre 1 Go/s soit des Tera-octets de données pour une seule heure. Ceci suppose d’enregistrer sur des médias qui soutiennent ce débit, mais aussi de disposer d’une machine de post-production ultra puissante pour traiter les images. Et ne parlons pas du temps de calcul. Pour résumer, tourner en RAW n’est pas à la portée de tout le monde.

La promesse d’Apple, s’affranchir de toutes les contraintes du RAW

Le ProRes RAW, sur le papier, c’est un peu le beurre et l’argent du beurre. La baseline l’annonce clairement:

« La performance du ProRes, et la flexibilité du RAW ». Ok, en effet, quand on lit le White Paper édité par Apple, il y a de quoi s’enthousiasmer. En effet, le constructeur offre des débits équivalents en RAW et en ProRes « classique »! On arrive donc à des seuils tout à fait gérables sur des enregistreurs accessibles: les Atomos avec même bientôt le Ninja V (mais pour l’heure aucune caméra ne sait sortir du RAW en HDMI). L’intention est donc bien d’uniformiser tous les formats RAW autour de cette plateforme unique puisque pour le moment, chaque constructeur a le sien. Mieux, en termes de performances, le format est promis comme étant bien plus optimisé, ce qui permettrait même à des portables de le monter.

Ce tableau montre que le ProRes RAW utilise le même débit qu’un ProRes 422 HQ… Pour du RAW

ProRes RAW: on a donc testé

Nous avons téléchargé sur Internet des fichiers ProRes RAW depuis filmplusgear.com et Media division. Et nous les avons passé sur notre MacBook Pro, modèle 2015. Autrement, une machine avec une mini carte graphique et qui n’est plus tellement d’actualité. Premier constat: ça passe sans problème, même si la machine souffre en calculant nos modifications en tâche de fond. On arrive à lire les fichiers de manière fluide, alors que pour d’autres types de fichiers RAW, il nous faut passer sur notre « vraie » machine de montage, qui est équipée de 64 Go RAM et d’une très grosse carte graphique pour parvenir au même résultat.
Deuxième constat, la récupération d’informations a priori disparues, est bien réelle. Pour vous en convaincre, il suffit de le constater ci-dessous.

Malgré tout, les outils disponibles dans FCP X ne permettent de pousser autant les choses que dans Resolve par exemple. Et c’est ici qu’on arrive aux limites des promesses du ProRes RAW.

ProRes RAW, quelques incertitudes

Premier point noir, le format est exclusivement réservé pour le moment à Final Cut Pro X. Et aux enregistreurs Atomos. Nul ne dit pour l’heure si Premiere Pro ou DaVinci Resolve vont se conformer à Apple alors qu’ils disposent eux-mêmes d’autres formats de traitement du RAW. De plus, le format ne pourrait concerner que les Mac et pas les PC pour des raisons de licence. Pire, Apple a depuis longtemps laissé pour compte les grosses machines pour se concentrer sur les iMac et les MacBook Pro. Pour traiter du RAW même en Prores, sur de grosses productions, il faut des chevaux et donc attendre la sortie d’un nouveau MacPro.
De plus, côté fabricants de caméra, tous ne joueront pas forcément le jeu. Si Panasonic a bien débloqué la sortie RAW de son EVA1 avec la dernière mise à jour, nul ne dit si les autres feront de même. Autant de paramètres qui font passer de l’optimisme à l’attentisme. L’année à venir devrait voir cette situation se décanter.

Pour aller plus loin, je ne saurais trop vous recommander de regarder cette vidéo de yakyakyak.fr. Elle couvre absolument tous les aspects de ce nouveau format.
