Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll use p5.js to link and synchronize visual assets with audio material. You’ll start by simulating a 3D landscape, then animate a camera flight through the landscape, before cohesively setting your movie to music to create a music video.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
