Project Details

Various projects using video on the web need to create innovative and non-standard effects to transform the video, for example, applying filters, altering the video, using 2D and 3D effects, etc. This project will create a library that provides some commonly needed effects (e.g., colour filters, tilt shifting, etc.). This project will overlap and support the HTML5/Video Comic Book project. The follow is a list of Candy effects:

• Normal - Displays the original video used in the <video> tag
• Comic -
• Grayscale -
• Sepia -
• Green Screen -
• Rotate -
• Negative -
• Modulate -
• Brighten -
• Darken -
• Emboss -
• Blur -
• Tilt-Shift -
• Disperse -
• Modulate -
• Pixelate -
• Pointillize -
• Color Filter -
• Dynamic effects -
