Crosswalks and Cigarettes; Playing around with the Stripemelt process

For today’s appsperiment I wanted to try to emphasize a certain area of an image by using a combination of StripeCam and Interlacer. The end result is sort of a “drippy” focal effect that I call Stripemelting.

I started with some moody Hipstamatic shots, that I then ran through StripeCam multiple times. I kept the stripes on a horizontal plane, while adjusting their vertical starting positions. I then took the StripeCam images and layered them together in Interlacer.

Here’s another example of this effect, but this time I did some stripes going left to right, and others going right to left, thus giving the effect on either side of the focal area.
