twociz

Description

Applies a distorted, delirious visual effect meant to simulate the hallucinated perspective of a zombie under the fictional TC-1 compound.
The aesthetic is disoriented, chemically corrupted, semi-conscious, and grotesquely vivid — combining abnormal color shifts, lurching motion, and sensory confusion.

Purpose

twociz is designed for creators who want:

a surreal, undead, chemically warped visual tone,
heavily altered perception aesthetics (swaying, drifting, disoriented),
toxic, bruised, unnatural color bleed,
a cinematic “drug-trip-from-the-grave” interpretation,
a one-command surreal filter requiring no tweaking.

How It Works

Toxic Color Distortion
Colors skew toward bruised greens, rotting purples, and necrotic yellows — evoking a zombified visual palette.
Hallucinogenic Drift
Subtle geometric warping, temporal wobble, or disproportionate scaling may occur to mimic unstable perception.
Consciousness Fade Simulation
Highlights bloom erratically; shadows collapse unexpectedly, resembling moments of slipping awareness.
Encoding
Output is encoded using global Videobeaux codec settings (CRF, pixel format, preset).

Program Template

videobeaux -P twociz \
  -i input.mp4 \
  -o output.mp4

Arguments

(No additional program-specific arguments; uses global videobeaux options only.)

Real World Example

videobeaux -P twociz \
  -i myvideo.mp4 \
  -o twociz_styled.mp4

Program Output

Program output video omitted due to size; see repository for reference clips.

Technical Notes

Works extremely well on footage with faces or skin tones, which become grotesquely reinterpreted under the effect.
High-contrast movement exaggerates the chemical hallucination look.
Compression artifacts interact unpredictably with the warped palette — often desirable for this aesthetic.
Stability varies depending on input content: calm scenes look feverish; chaotic scenes look apocalyptic.

Recommended Usage

Horror or undead-themed sequences.
Music videos requiring surreal, lurching, toxic hallucinations.
Psychological visualizations of decay, delirium, intoxication, or inner collapse.
Glitch-art or experimental montage with a corrupted-organic tone.
Any sequence where a “rotting consciousness POV” enhances storytelling.

Quality Tips

Lower CRF yields clearer hallucination layers; higher CRF introduces gritty decay that suits the undead theme.
Pair with septic for medical-shock surrealism.
Combine with bad_contrast for a bruised, collapsing palette.
Layer with lsd_feedback for intensifying delirium loops.
Apply before overexposed_stutter for a chemically panicked final effect.
