In this project I was also part of the animation team, where I had to
animate the artwork given to me by the concept artists in my group. Chris Portelli (illustrator / concept artist) and I help each other on the illustrations and animations assigned to us. Our job was to design and create a scroll that says (Is-Sena t-Tajba) and the confetti both for the end of the projection mapping. Using Adobe After Affect I started working on the confetti while Chris Portelli was creating the illustration for the scroll (later to be animated). I’m not a expert in After Affect but from what I know I managed to animate the confetti that where going to be projected on the Palace and creating a glittery effect. No illustrations were need for the confetti but to accomplish this I had to download a plug-in for Adobe After Affect called (Particular). Particular creates tiny particles which can be shoot out of a point to creating the confetti just like in real life. These particles can be replace with any object, in my case I have created a polygon using the pen tool in After Affect. I added two layers of the same modified particular, one in white colour and the other in yellow. Also added random rotation, random size, lighting, wind direction and gravity to the particular to get a realistic look for the confetti. We finally got to see the inside of the palace, to take photos of the
surrounding and to get an idea of the textures and patterns that were used back then. I took plenty of close-up photos of armoury, shields, swords etc... to study the designs engrave on the metal and to come up with similar yet modern kind of designs for the projection mapping. Tokyo Station Vision is one of the wold famous projection mapping ever created. Held in 2012 as a reopening for the restoration of the famous red-brick Marunouchi building to its original appearance. The building served as a big projection screen using state of the art sound and light 10 min show. It features giant steam locomotives billowing smoke and a stunning fireworks display. The show consists of 2D and 3D designs dancing across and shifting around the building by introducing a visual history of the station and made very clear the continuities with its present and future. A beautiful advertising campaign made by the South Korean company LG in Berlin in 2010. This campaign was to promote the New LG Optimus One. Starting by breaking down and building and transforming it into an android floating and interacting with the audience, by waving and beaming light from his eyes. The rest of the projection mapping are all short clips of 3d mapping to portray the power of the android smart phone, its true colour and feature more like u are looking at a real thing. A very interesting technical feature in this projection mapping was the amazing very realistic thing that’s some of the objects seems to be projected out of the projection area of the building. At the end of the show balloons were mapped on the building falling down from the sky holding an android soft toy which eventually came to life as an interaction with people. The Box, is a name of a project by Bot and Dolly to promote their line of work. It is a San Francisco-based design and engineering studio. It features a filmed clip demonstrating a mixture of robotically controlled monitors, projection-mapping and choreographed human interaction. This interaction between projection mapping and robotics is one of a kind. It consists of 2 panels/canvases attached to separate robotic arms to create the illusion of interaction with the human being while the projectors are doing their job by mapping straight on the panels. It makes u believe that the actor is actually moving the panels around. This short film was described to be an artistic statement and technical demonstration that explores the synthesis of real and digital space through projection mapping on moving surfaces. As a result this project captures multiple technologies working together to literally transform theatrical presentations, and define new genres of expression. By using projection mapping the surfaces are transformed into boxes and moving objects, using only black and white colours. Within the boxes, are moving object which levitates, transforms, and teleports from one box to another. At the end of the film lines appear on the panels outlining the hidden parts of the robotic arms. Great choice of audio with pitch perfect synchronization. |
