And they are off!


Projection mapping a building in 24 hrs. work has started about lunch time, a modicum if content has been created from scratch & mapped to a basic structure in about 1hr, the signs are good, we have windows chasing, & spinning etc I was keen to look at some basic animation techniques & see if we can create an interactive video mapped building. This
Phone grab is the first try & was done in 20mins! Basic & yes, the top half is not there- but that's the point- to make it accessible we need to avoid expensive media systems & specialists- check on wednesday for the compleat product there's a lot of potential here- we managed to produce fairly convincing content in 20mins with no wireframe & no after effects
We are going to have another bash on Wednesday, this time a full day - the target will be a recognisable mapping with some branding & more custom animation work on the building.

Animate a building in less than an hour

To map a building in 24 we need a powerful server that can manage content quickly & some subject specific content. So one of today's tasks is to animate the building as part of the arsenal for the final product. Along side that we will design the playback system for the server to make it playable.

The mission make architectural mapping accessible & affordable.
The target to arrive on site in the morning & produce client specific content by evening & run it on the building. Want to know more watch this space...... Development & r&d start next week- here's where we start, the worst senario we can replicate.

video mapping for stage sets

I've been keeping my head down for a while on this project. It was a tall order-video mapping on a budget & I was making some very bold claims when I stated the blog...... but I've cracked it! we launched it in February at the event production show after locking myself away for 2 weeks in a dark room with nothing but a set model & Alex Allen to keep me company( thanks Al). we took two bookings straight away all done & dusted within 7 days.
I figured I could be onto something here & after some persuasion booked a stand at Confex where I was inundated with enquiries & expect to take bookings within a week. check it out www.astral- media.co.uk.
catch me if you can.
