Projection Mapping - Update 4
So, now I have a collection of images from which to choose from. I now need to devise a visually attractive way, of displaying them in sequence. For inspiration, my first stop was the brief itself. I looked back to the links that were attached to the end of it. All of them gave great examples of very slick, very creative light shows and projections. All were promoting various products, events etc. Our goal, was to promote the work here at NUCA. From the original examples the tutors had provided for us, I searched the web to find more of them. There I saw some spectacular shows, that illuminated the facades of buildings, and transformed them into incredible visions.
One such video, was projected onto the immense 'Christ the Redeemer' statue in Brazil. It consisted of various urban and natural vistas, followed by the statue being outlined with bright neon. The most memorable part came last. Firstly, the statue returned to its original look, but with a small, delicate butterfly fluttering up towards the chest. When the butterfly settled onto Christ's chest, the arms folded inwards, gently clasping the butterfly with his hands. The illusion was so believable, as the space where the arms would be, were completely blacked out, and with the combination of the night sky it was an incredible effect.

Projection Mapping - Update 3
I took lots of examples of student's work from our website, and grouped them together into overlapping fields, based upon various parameters. Such as; text, dark imagery, fun etc. I did this so to have a smooth transition in my projection. Where artwork would roughly match with what was coming next, giving it a nice sense of cohesion.
Dark Imagery |
Text Art |
Projection Mapping - Update 2
I've chosen the main building on Duke Street to show my project on. Its a large, impressive building to look at, with beautiful, old architecture. Its got three main plains, or 'layers' to work on. These are its; roof, the main body of the building, and the three forward jutting facades. Its often used as a foyer to visitors, or to potential students on open days. Therefore, I think it would be suitable choice to showcase NUCA artwork on.
Projection Mapping - Update 1
The first thing I have planned to do, is to visit all the Universities buildings. I will take some reference photos of them, and decide from these, which building to focus on. Hopefully, the buildings will inspire ideas from which I will work from.
