We demonstrate that a wide range of novel video processing effects can be generated through conceptualizing a video signal as being composed of a large number of video grains. These grains can be manipulated and maneuvered in a variety of ways, and a new video signal can then be created through the resynthesis of these altered grains; effects include cloning, rotating, and resizing the video grains, as well as repositioning them in space and time. These effects have been used successfully in a series of interactive multimedia performances, leading us to believe that our approach has significant artistic potential.I.3.6 [Computer Graphics]Methodology and TechniquesGraphics data structures and data typesI.3.7 [Computer Graphics]Three Dimensional Graphics and RealismAnimation.10.2312/exp.20151192195-201
