Problems occurred in terms of facilities, for example low definition of web-cams, limit length of camera cables, the angle of the camera. As the idea of digital mirroring has been settled, I'll try my best to complete the whole composition. Here are several thing need preparing: a structure to hold 2 cameras on the ceiling (there is an iron wire on site); cables long enough to connect computers with cameras (two of them, look into fire wire camera or 5m USB cable wire); two monitors out of Resolume (Matrox Triple Head to Go card and its software); the projector distance and the screen size (big mirrors/ short throw lens/ www.projectorcentral.com). Another issue is to find 2 people to give a hand setting up, that might take a whole day to do the documentary and that also requires at least 3 days mock-up with all the devices and loan the Matrox Triple Head to Go card from Sean, it will probably happen in week 12 or the SWOT-VAC week (Oct.15-21).
So here's a rough schedule for what's happening for the next couple of weeks:
week10:
Sort out the cables, projectors and cameras that can be used, design and make the structure of camera holding system (wood? steel? http://www.bunnings.com.au/), drawing grids as digital mapping at site and script of the design
week11:
Go on building the structure of holding system; decide what animation's used in digital mapping and test in the model, readings and documentations of the project
week12:
Testing @ home, documenting @ site
SWOT-VAC:
Video editing, prepare on presentation
As the problem of not relating to technology and building structure came from last presentation, I need to add a playful video about the site as mapping the ceiling rafters maybe, more explorations have to be done asap. and in the end it can be edited into a movie with narrative happens in a real site.
This is getting rather fun and haaaaaaaard...
Finger-crossed...
