# Scanimate × Video Synthesis — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=scanimate+video-synthesis
# Scanimate carries the structure. Video Synthesis appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Scanimate (Technique, 1969–1980s) and its accent from Video Synthesis (Technique, 1969–). Structural cues: Glowing outlines; Electronic undulation; Rainbow glow; Scanline texture. Accent cues, used sparingly: Modulated signal; Feedback vortices; Waveforms made visible; Television sets repurposed. Composition: One element on black, stretched from far to near. Type and lettering: Heavy single letters lit from inside their own outline. Let one material quality come from the second style: Color from oscillator waveforms, layers from camera and monitor recursion. Mood: Technology, Nostalgia, Exhilaration, Rebellion, Play. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Two techniques rather than two looks. Decide which one runs last in the process, because that is the one that will show.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Scanimate: Layering glow and scanlines on top while the undulation itself still moves with the smooth interpolation of today's tools.
# - Video Synthesis: Stopping the moment feedback throws up a pretty accident, then stringing accidents together without learning which control produces which image.
