i always like the way film artists like stan brakhage

and many other sites....
created visual experiences by printing in certain ways on optical film printers.
thats why there is a random play mode....

I always liked the experiments with film loops.

So in the software a key thing is to be able to do rhythmical effects like play 2 loops together - of slightly different lengths - with a different blending mode.
You then get a visual rhythm set up - and the image doesnt repeat - its like a sampler.

Im quite influenced by experimental films....
