Innovation and Interference - Idea No. 2

My second idea which would be more based around Fields and Frames would be to either experiment or create a story through lighting and projection mapping, mainly using landscapes as a base.
This idea came to me when I was researching on petapixel.com, they have an inspiration button and I just went through several pages until I found a video using projection mapping in nature:


Photographer Tarek Mawad and animator Friedrich van Schoor took a computer, a projector, and a DSLR on a slider out into a forest and mapped projections onto various parts of nature. I think it's absolutely stunning, it takes beautifully shot footage and takes it up a notch as it is so wonderful to watch and they really bought the scenery to life.


The next one I looked into is by Director / Animator / Cinematography / Editor Kevin McGloughlin. He took a simple car journey and filmed it from various angles, and used techniques like time lapse to create a really trippy video.


"This video is a result of countless experiments in a similar vein.
All footage/photographs were shot from the inside of a car.The most prominent effect is generated from the 50mm's depth of field,the use of 'echo' effects or 'mirror' effects were were not employed with the exception of less than 25 seconds...

For my time-lapse sequences......I first shot long exposure time lapse's of a car journey . I then spread the photographs out in 3d space and flew a virtual camera through them , tracking the camera to a real camera on a separate car trip.
For the footage sequences.....I shot various city lights , constantly shifting the depth of field,and pieced them together in a seamless video, I then set this video out in 3d space duplicating the clip multiple times and spreading them out ,playing each video 1 frame later than the video previous.(this gave the illusion of moving forward) I then set up a virtual camera and re - shot the scenes from new perspectives with an additional depth of field.

For the morphing parts..this was a regular 2d time-lapse using pixel motion and time remap to generate a morph."

Then after researching into lighting and projection further I found a video that adapted a kinect in an innovative way, the band plays in the dark with a kinect projected on them which an adapted RED camera (where the filter that blocks non-visible light was removed) picked up the spectacular effect shown below:


And finally I found a video I watched a couple of years ago, I believe this video went viral which is why so many people know about it but it involved projection mapping onto a moving object.


I've always loved this video because it really drags you in and makes you believe the box is being changed when its all just the projection, I think it really shows what we can do with projection and lighting.
