Python + TouchDesigner: No freedom without struggle

The main video was taken from a recent train journey from Tainan to Taipei in Taiwan. I applied the intense skipping frame edits, the words over the video, and squares using TouchDesigner.

I used Python to add some RGB channel offset, vertical and horizontal tearing, block displacement, slight warping, and a few split second frames of television static.

I then used another Python to create a scrolling text video in English and Chinese saying “No freedom without struggle” over a black background.
Finally, Python is used to combine these two videos, glitching the text video at random intervals, for random lengths of time, over the main video.
