Awesome! Nice realisation. Though the link to the video didn't work when I tried it.
didn't work here either, but looking forward to see it!
I have updated the post and uploaded the video to Vimeo instead of YouTube. Sorry about the wait, gentlemang!
fantastik!
Nice work.
I am curious as to how you came to reinterpret the work itself using this approach. As you're aware, I have researched this work inside out and I'm always interested in reinterpretations of it.
Hi Tristan! Actually, this is a compromise. We originally had planned to do the speech in hardware using a speak and spell, but the unit wasn't working at all. So we had to go with a virtual voice, which is not favourable but was the only choice. On the other hand, the mac speech is an iconic sound anyway, so I guess it worked out.
Very nice! Love how you realised the text! Also that AppleTalk voice is so cool _O_
This cannot truly work, I believe so.
