Project 4: Projection Mapping
For my final presentation, I stuck with just music videos and had no animated effects. Unfortunately, there was little time to create additional content as intended, so I had to scrap animations I was working on in order to adjust to using keybindings for MadMapper. Despite being unable to proceed with my initial idea, I still liked how I mapped out the wall and adornments because each portion of the wall felt well contained. Each of the three disks contained a different video, and the floral wheel was mapped so a flashing light would appear only on the spokes. The video above on the right shows a clear example of how each area and effect was mapped, masked, and bound to keyboard. On the left is how mapping looked on the wall with "Lilac" by IU in the background. On the right is how mapping looked on the laptop screen with "Bones" by Imagine Dragons in the background.
Unfortunately, the black and white patterns obscured part of the videos, but overall I think the project was a success. Many of my goals were met, and I liked the result I whipped up using limited content: the floral wheel seemed to pulsate, the keybindings worked well, and I was able to toggle certain areas effects, and videos.
Two rough animations that were not used for the final. Given more time, I think the next step would be to explore more of the performative aspect because I didn't have sound and I didn't perform live. Since there was an interactive gallery that passed through my area, I set up the mapping and left it running so people would be able to access the limited space and properly interact with the walk-through. I also didn't want to feel out of place and make things awkward for people passing by. Even though the live performance aspect was taken out, I think the techniques I learned are very beneficial to general video editing and effects. Additionally, my location was one very nice because my projection went uninterrupted by passerby and energy short-outs.
