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

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

Program Template

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.
