I was going to use old fashioned games to make my “meme remix”, using a USB NES controller, but “hi” couldn’t seem to find the device. So instead, I went with plan B, which was a bit more meme-y..<\/p>\n
Cat videos!<\/p>\n
Like any sane person should, I have a healthy obsession with cats (and their cute antics). So for my project, I found four of the spiciest cat memes on Youtube and imported them into Max. I set up my Xbox 360 controller so that the 4 videos could be selected to play with the D-pad. Then I routed the A, X, and Y buttons to three different filters one could apply to the videos. The B button was used to reset the filter effects. The joysticks affect the filters in different ways, depending on how far left or right they are pushed.<\/p>\n
That was fun and all, but to add just a little more spice to my project, I added a “Bass Boost” effect, activated when one presses the right trigger. To turn off the bass boost, just press the left trigger. Unfortunately every time I close the file the settings for the Bass Boost get reset, and they can be a real pain to fix.<\/p>\n
I would say the project is most fun when one activates both a filter and the bass boost at the “punchline” of each video.<\/p>\n
See for yourself!<\/p>\n
