External Project

So we have been given a new project until we break up for the holidays.  We have been shown some videos of projection mapping on buildings ( links below) some of which are amazing and so well thought out and executed.  After seeing them we were told we had to design a projection to be used on one of the NUCA buildings promoting NUCA and its courses and that we had to try and make it interactive in some way for an audience.  We are allowed to be in teams and in the end we have to pitch our ideas to the class.  I am working with Dom, David and Lee; i have worked with Dom and Lee before and i enjoyed working with them! Lets hope this projects goes well too!  

Points to keep in mind for his project are:

• to promote NUCA and its courses
• to creatively use the buildings architecture to enhance the effectiveness of the projection
• to make it somehow interactive for an audience

We have had a group meeting and we have taken some day time pictures of possible choices for the building we are going to use to put the projection on.  We then took some night time photos and are currently deciding which building we like the best to use for this project.  We ran thorugh some ideas but decided not to settle on anything untill we have decided on a building to use.  We also thought about how to make it interactive.  I suggested that we make a flash game projected onto the building where behind windows there would be different animations and you could interact with them via an iPad e.g. behind one window could be giant flowers and you touch the flowers on the iPad to make them bloom.  Dom wasn't sold on this idea so we are still thinking of new ideas.
