Idea notes & technical stuff: ====================== Since this was my 3rd project for the museum as artist-in-residence, I was pressed on time in every sense and so everything was finally figured out and finished just before the 1st showing in June 2012 ! Thus it's a simple mapping, more about cinema, trying to make a universal show in images, no dialogue and with very little text. However, from the scene of the 'escape!' to the end, it's slower and less dramatic than I intended it to be. Overall, the whole presentation was too long, 5 minutes would have been best.
This was my 1st video projection mapping show which was created with VJ software Resolume 3.3.3 and a mapping plugin called IR Mapio (now referred to as Visution Mapio). Every time I did the show, I also VJed live with some effects (see end of video with credits). I used a 4000 lumens Acer video projector with a video resolution of 1024x768, running on Windows XP (Dell laptop 5 years old, did not function with a higher resolution).
During the 1st showing I had video lag issues which I resolved for the 2nd showing. For each showing, the video projector had to be re-placed onto the stand which caused issues for proper alignment every time, even though markings were in place for the VP (and very little time to redo before show).
