Video Projections on 3D Objects

May 20th, 2009

Lately I’m really into these video projections on 3D objects and buildings. I always wondered how they do that, how they match the projected animations with the objects. Last November there was a workshop for the students of Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd how to do this with vvvv, a toolkit for real time video synthesis. The students got quite a headstart because they had a scale model of the building and digital 3D models to start with. The position of the spectator is of course quite important to obtain the desired visual effect. If you want to try it out yourself, then you might want to read this guide on the vvvv website: How To Project On 3D Geometry. You can see the results of the workshop here, unfortunately they only used the scale model to show the final animations.

Real Time

May 20th, 2009

During the Milan furniture fair, Maarten Baas presented his latest project called “Real Time”. He made 3 clocks, actually he made 3 movies, which are each 12 hours long. For the first one “Grandfather Clock”, he filmed a man drawing the hands of clock during 12 hours. This is also the only clock for which he made an object: a standing clock with a screen displaying the video. It gives you the impression that there is someone inside. The second one, called “Sweeper Clock”, shows you 2 actors wiping garbage 12 hours long. The garbage forms the hands of the clock. In the third one, the “Digital Analoge Clock”, you can see an actor painting the segments of a digital clock black and wiping them clean again.
He sells a a limited number of the videos on external hard drives and 3 pieced of the Grandfather Clock.

At the end you can find a video of interview with Maarten Baas where explains it a little more and where you can see some more footage of the clocks.

Rubik’s Cube Font Generator

May 20th, 2009

Jas Bhachu made this very cool Rubik’s Cube Font Generator. He attached rubber stamps to 4 sides of the cube, so you can create you own characters. It comes in a really nice package with some instructions. You probably can’t buy one as this is project which he did at Liverpool School of Art & Design.
