Week 8 Presentation















Process:




Upper Law Theatre
1:20


Material: Cotton
Size: 27mm x 32mm



Working condition
Devices: projector, laptop, model



Material: Cotton
Image projected: model front view




















Material: Cotton
Image projected: model front view


Material: Linen
Image projected: real site front view























Material: cotton
Footage projected: video from former week 




Model making was completely finished by adding rafters into ceiling.
These wooden rafters were made from cardboard; roof and wall facade made from  white heavy poster board; and inner walls made from white core 5mm foam board.
Different types of cloths, composition of the screens, effect of the projection were tested in the model.
Linen cloth tend to create a drawing-like texture but rather opaque while cotton cloth creates a translucent effect and a mysterious atmosphere.
The model was put close to the window to create the light condition similar to the site.
Still images were first tested in the model. Images of real site same angle, model same angle, model different angle created different effects such as doubled space, distorted space or real/unreal space.
The footage from previous week was put to test the effects by moving images. The vivid movement add to the contract to the space and has a better walking experience in the site.




Next Step:

Cloth hanging detail
Video making and editing
Life size experiment























The process of setting up included several problem solving matters.
By only projecting live video on the wall, audiences are likely to block the projector, while putting the projector close to the wall might not produce the right size.
By reflecting video projection on the wall using a mirror, and adjusting it to the right angle, the distance of projector was no longer a problem.
However, the shape became distorted from reflection, and resulted from the location of the camera, the video on the wall was horizontally flipped.
Within the help of mapping, and video transformation in Resolume, a small set was finally created.
