VJ Loops – Moiré pattern Videos
Ever since I was a little kid Ive been fascinated with Moiré patterns and the resulting Twilight Zone effect that occurs when you have two similar patterns overlaid with slight differences. You see this in fences, screens, and fine sheer fabrics. I’ve been playing with creating this effect from scratch in After Effects for a little while now and decided to share my findings.
The first is the most recent utilizing some new After Effects FX – Mainly Turbulence Displace, Its almost like it was made for this sort of thing. This is not a seamless loop, sorry.
The second is the same set up as the first with different settings this one is decidedly more crazy and spastic
This last video is the first one I created tweaking at least 7 different parameters at once – its a little fuzzy but there are moments, especially the end.

Thanks for having these videos up. They came in real handy when trying to explain the graphical artifacts created when upsizing low resolution indexed artwork with gradient blends in a prepress/press application. Textbook revolving moire with light-moderate-severe representations allowed for quick conveyance without having to talk over their heads with the math. Good Jorb!

Hey thanks for the Videos – I am a puppeteer from Berlin and my next project is Alice in Wonderland – I will play a lot with shaddow-effects and since i saw a very interesting (live)moireeffect today i found your pattern which is very nice to watch! could you mail me the two layers as a jpg (or are that more than two?) and maybe explain in wich way you move them – that would be really great! also i would really like to get in contact with you to talk about that effect. Please send me an email nervmich(at)gmail (dot)com,thanks, bruno
