Ezra Cohen: Modular Retro Visual Elements

posted February 13, 2019 #

Ezra Cohen has a portfolio filled with interesting video textures and presentations for products and artists. I'm not quite sure what the official name for such a thing would be but his own byline is "Creating memorable visual textures for films, commercials, and live concert environments" - which feels pretty apt.

He also offers a number of video filters to help you make these sorts of things on your own. There's an 8mm film grain texture pack or a repeater template but what caught my eye is the Modular Retro Visual Elements pack. It's 30 different elements, glitches and textures that all loop and interplay with one another. Mix and match to your own desires!

Personally, I have little practical use for this but I appreciate that it exists and lowers the barrier to entry for video creators to put together a compelling display to augment the right artists performance.
