architectural projection mapping in 24 hrs

Projection mapping model

After the success & subsequent success of our video mapped stage sets, we go to Switzerland in a month.
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.
let the fun begin.

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.

video mapped sets at confex

If you can spare a couple of minutes & you’re involved in presentations have a quick peek at this http://www.astral-media.co.uk/video-mapping-for-stage-sets.htm  its real video mapping,  I know everyone is talking about & let’s face its expensive. We’ve changed all that...

 We’ve found a way of providing a set like the one in the video for a price that’s comparable to that of a standard set, complete with server, projectors & set -no catch.  If take into account that that includes the branding with no print fee you can see why at the launch last month we found we had a shocking successes on our hands.

We will bringing a scale model of a set to the show at stand P832 come and see how to apply this new technology for your greatest gain.

If that has whetted your appetite you can find links to our site at the bottom of the page.

flat out with projects

I have managed to get the catalyst system out in the last few months to play with here are a few links to some of things we are now exploring virtual stage sets
AND we've been very busy at shangri-la Glastonbury this year. fa too busy to blog but here are some pics Glastonbury shangri-la lighting and projection
 we doing a projection project in a fortnight at Canterburyy University, we have a project at Secret Garden party, and Bestival, and finally I had a site visit at St Mary's lighthouse near Dover with the National Trust where we will be doing some projection with the new catalyst mobile branding system we are building.- more about that soon

Glastonbury content in the bag

Tim has come up with some great content for Shangri-La at Glastonbury. As well as the video mapped wall that Bruce is doing we will have Several other video installations. first off is an interactive piece using a kinect camera where the subject recreated on screen & then attacked by alien viruses which he has to fight off.
then we are hoping to introduce some infestations on buildings outside the hub area, possibly the Decon chambers and the hotel, these are a custom program of ever changing bugs swarming over the surfaces. on top of that Tim has made us a library of virus bugs that we will be tracking over the bridge and food concession area.
the whole caboodle will be driven by up to 4 catalyst media servers, an uses number of area heads and orbital head systems. we are also hoping that Ian at Robe will be loaning some digispots to the project too. needless to say control is from Avolites who are providing 2 Titan expert touch consoles to supplement the one we have and the Titan mobile we've just bought.

So, a lot of you know I have been flirting with projection after a long absence.

This was the result of a low budget challenge to cover a building with content using stock kit. I was looking for somewhere to stretch my wings as it were and try out a few ideas, Fortunately Liam rich at Chelmsford BC gave me an opportunity. Shire Hall is the only building worth looking at in Chelmsford with any character & it is located at the very top of the high St.

 The event was Jibber jabber in Chelmsford, a storytelling festival & amongst other things we projected some animations specially made for the event. We used a catalyst media server and 4 Sanyo xp100l projectors controlled from an avolites pearl expert. We knew from the onset we were on the much on the cusp of what was possible so the entire escapade was truly a projection adventure.
