City Hall Pics

However i though because this is going to be a video that pictures wouldn't be adequate so i returned to city hall to take some video shots

first half of animation

This is the first part of my animation complete, it demonstrate how the interactive board would work in theory.

Next its onto animated the City Hall

animated files

these are some of video that have been projected onto the wall

The video above is meant to demonstrate to the person watching that their design is saved into a file to be used later when projected onto City Hall

How i created the buttons

I wanted to show more interaction with the board with other things than just the can, so i came up ith idea of having touch screen section, so people can touch select different items. I created simple 2 framed animations to give the appearance that something has been selected.

animated files being projected

These are the video that i will be projecting on to the wall. The idea being that a person mimic the shape of the line and make it look like they are creating it. It took some trial and error but i eventually got the shots i want.

To save time i'll upload a couple and screenshot of a selection of the rest

setting up projector

So i borrowed a projector from uni and then set it up in my bedroom, linking it up with Mac meant i could project whatever i had on my screen onto the wall.

Also from a little tester i noticed whoever i was videoing would have to stand to the side of the projected screen, otherwise their shadow would cover it, i did some test shots seen above, which show from the right angle i can still get the shots i want.

Storyboard for animation

So after i made my quick mock animation i thought before i do the real thing a good idea would be to draw up a storyboard so i can plan all the shots in advance and know how i want it to look like.

These are just simple sketches, but they get across the idea of the camera angle and what i want to shown in each shot.

 the animation will start with a person looking at the interactive board ready to start...

 then two quick shot which show the participant grabbing the headphones and putting them on. I see the animation as a sort of 'how to' video as well as trying to promote it.

 It then shows the person selecting a brush a colour ready to start spraying.

 the camera angle changes so it can be seen clearly when the person starts using the light graffiti can.

 a close up shot shows a zigzag motion as the person gets creative.

 a wide angle shot now, which shows a laptop near by which is capturing the motion and images the person is drawing in real time.

 This shot is to demonstrate that the person can select different colours throughout making their design.

 This represents the idea that i want lots of quick close up shots of different designs being created.

 Then the camera goes wide again and you get the image of the final design.

Finally it shows the design being saved to the computer where it will be compiled and projected onto the city hall later on in the day.

Throughout my animation i'm wanting a piece of music to be playing in the background. Im going to look into the alight twilight event again and see if it gives any information as to what songs are going to be played so i can choose a relevant song that people can design to.
