Perhaps the video I'm most proud of is novOstinatOpusIV

Based on "Opus IV", the last "Lichtspiel" film by Walter Ruttmann: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_IV_(film)
As mentioned by Wikipedia, the four Opus films by Ruttmann "are famous for using geometric shapes, basic lines, and abstraction to create optical images".
While watching the film I had an idea: Why not making some of Ruttmann's shapes transparent, and overlap non-abstract video frames onto them?
I decided to put some effort on this idea. I turned certain color intervals into transparent background. Then I selected a picture of the moon and, by using my veemadge tool (https://gitlab.com/Eidonko/veemadge/), I created 700 frames of a zooming out sequence.
After that, I wrote a Bash script that invokes Imagemagick so as to crop the moon frames to the size of Ruttmann's, and then overlaps the latter on the former, frame by frame (see [3] in the comment below). No AI, no sirree.
Then I selected one of my pieces as a soundtrack. My choice went to "novOstinato", https://eidon.bandcamp.com/track/novostinato, a reworking of a piece from my album "Ley Lines", https://eidon.bandcamp.com/album/ley-lines.
Finally, I sped up "Opus IV" to 34.48 fps to match the audio duration.
The result was good far beyond my expectations! It's like the moon is also taking part into the rhythmic Dance created by Ruttmann!
