Isadora

Now I am busy practically testing round with what I want to present in a month. I have done a bit of everything involved. My project conceptually won't change much except for fixing the holes. These holes can be fixed by how I technically create the artefact. The more I show people what I am doing the more I can see how it is perceived to others, this makes me drive into other ways of showing this content in relation to my concept.

The Auckland Museum. My choice of filming location. View looking outwards. 

What is important right now in my content is the experience location I am trying to express. There are different elements that can affect it. For one I want it to be a place that is an impactful situation that I myself have felt. It also should be a place that is generically pleasing to the audience and gives this impression of wanting to be there for a sort of aesthetic reward. Once they enter and interact with the projection it changes to the perception of a camera that then needs to be interesting to explore and move around in. Right now I am looking at a place that I find rewarding personally while also a tourist location for taking pictures. It has a mix of everything to help with being generic. I think my photography skills and the technology used may influence how great this content is.

Isadora editing

An affect created using Isadora

I have been looking into installations that give similar effects as to what I want. The program I am using for the video editing will most likely be Isadora. It is simple to use and looks to do what I want it to. When playing around with both this and when using After Effects for the simulation video I realise how many variations I can create of my artefact. I am aiming to showcase my artefact as best as possible to fit my concept and this is where the technical components can be manoeuvred for that. Right now I have a close (but laggy) version created.

Right now most technical aspects are there and I have most of the problems and questions answered for. It just needs to be formed together as one.
