A video of the swallowtail butterfly which shows what I mean when I say that I make video chaconnes / passacaglia

Both of those terms are used of music which repeats an element which is modified in some aspect each time. My music expert friend doesn't know which one is more apt of my videos, but since chaconne gets more than twice as many hits as passacaglia, I'll go with that.

Vid description

The repeated segment is 1/16th normal speed unless otherwise noted.

Holcomb gardens is a delightful public space at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana.

I call videos such as this a video chaconne or passacaglia because of the repetition with variations of a segment.

I find when my brain is most overloaded with pain, such projects are among the only ones I have the concentration to do, and in getting involved in such projects I get more relief than I do via my medicines.

I did this in Windows Movie Maker beta instead of Power Director because it allows the layering of multiple effects on one clip.

The Bach passacaglia is from musopen.org - I used the latest beta of Audacity to adjust the time and add in the "insectile" effects, mostly using the wawa plugin. A screen cap of the settings used is included.

Audacity is outstanding open source audio editing software available for most platforms.
