Project 2 Proposal

For this project I wanted to create a more interactive piece.

There will be a video camera on a tri-pod  linked to a projector.  Another projector will be set up playing a looped video of a scene.

When the audience enters into frame of the video camera, they will be simultaneously projected onto the looped image thus becoming part of the scene.

Whomever is in front of the camera will be positioned so that they are facing the projected images and therefore are able to see themselves in the scene and able to interact appropriately.

Video Samples

Some sample videos of particles in after effects.  Using a "V-Shaped" screen and using the line at the crease and a focal point to base the particles and visual effects from.  

Projection

I want to take this idea and expand on the idea.  With three large screens arranged so that the audience would be able to walk into an enclosed area while the screens compliment each other with the motion appearing on the front screen.  Because it is a larger scale the audience is going to feel as though they are traveling with the motion occurring.  While this is only one example of the front screen I would like to include backward motion as well as frontal, as well as alternating between the two for a dizzying affect.

I was also contemplating the idea of moving through space (Star Wars warp speed).  However, I would use Adobe AfterEffects to create my own particles to incorporate the idea.

Sound would be a crucial part in order to further engage the audience with the motion occurring on screen.
