Future Cinema workshops October 16, 2009
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , add a commentOn Thursday 15th Oct and Monday 18th Oct we will cover some ideas and resources relating to interactive-cinema and Future-Cinema, these included:
Zbigniew Rybcinski: The Orchestra (1990)
http://www.zbigvision.com/

This early HDvideo film uses extensive motion-control cinematography, with camera-movements rigorously plotted against a digital print-out of the audio-volume envelope, to create a work that combines music, choreography, dance, costume, - with the motion-control rig creating a kind of ‘choreographed camera’ - in a highly surrealist style.
AES+F: The Last Riot (2007)

http://www.aes-group.org/
This remarkable multi-screen video was the Russian entry at the Venice Biennale in 2007 - an immersive multimedia, multi-screen experience with Wagnerian-style classical music. The film makes extensive use of computer-generated animation, film loops and colour-keyed live action with dancers and actors.
We agreed that each student would bring an example of work that would be relevant to Future Cinema - and present this on Monday 18th (max 10mins each).
We looked at a number of relevant websites and online interactive works, selected from a list that included:

Eye tracking October 15, 2009

Recognising objects October 15, 2009
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , add a commentHere are some useful thing that you might want to know! This morning we discussed the idea that you might want to recognize objects on for example a table. One of the ways in which you could do this is by using the Reactable fiducial symbols.
To use the coding with these might be a bit daunting but we do have 10 copies of MAXMSP with Jitter, this is a modular programming tool that can be used with video and external devices.

Youtube Video Annotations October 4, 2009
Posted by admin in : Interactive Narrative , add a comment“In 2008 YouTube added Video Annotations as an interactive layer of clickable speech-bubble, text-boxes and spotlights. Users may add interactive annotations to their videos and by that a new trend of interactive videos arose, including choose-your-own-adventure video series, online video games using YouTube videos, spot-the-difference-game videos, animal-dubbing and more. In 2009 YouTube added a community aspect to its Video Annotations feature by allowing video owners to invite their friends and community to add annotations to their movies.”
Here is an example of how its done:

Carousel - Philip’s TV Advertisement October 4, 2009
Posted by admin in : Interactive Cinema , add a comment“Created for Tribal DDB, Amsterdam, Stink Digital and Director Adam Berg deliver this interactive campaign for Philips new CINEMA 21:9 TV. The cinematic proportions of the display became the theme of this piece. Adam responded with an idea for an epic frozen moment cops and robbers shootout sequence.
This 2:19 film runs as an endless loop, allowing viewers to control their moves through the scene. The film also contains embedded hotspots, which, when triggered, give us a behind-the-scenes look at some of the shots.
