Senior Project

DANCER BENDS LIGHT IN STUNNING 3D PERFORMANCE IN NEW YORK

“Inside a cube fashioned from translucent veils, a dancer takes a visual journey into a 3D space between dreams and reality. Hakanaï is a digital solo performance from Adrien M / Claire B that made its debut at BAM’s Fishman Theatre on March 17, 2015. The choreographed performance installation combines video projection mapping, CGI, and sensors to dynamically respond to the movements and proximity of its performer. Its visuals and sounds are generated and animated live, offering a uniquely different performance for each and every iteration.”

Projection Experiments

In a nutshell I just got really bored with what I was working with. When beginning my senior project I wanted to expand on a project I completed for a class about a year ago.  I experimented in many ways, however I couldn’t find myself inspired.  I kept finding myself wanting to experiment with projection in other ways and forcing myself not to because I was set on expanding on the old one.  

Finally about three weeks ago I let myself conduct multiple experiments and got myself out of the rut I was in.  Recently I created videos, which I will upload, of the original project, my progression with that project, and the experiments I have recently done outside of that project.  

Three Transitions (1973) Peter Campus

He challenges the medium of green screen and its form of technology by superimposing video and images of himself to create and interesting illusion.  

Here we see the execution of a illusion in a Ames Room.  The illusion uses a fixed viewing perspective to trick the audience to believe the men are of different heights.  Instead they are at varied distances from the camera.  The right of the room is much closer to the camera than the left.  

The High Seas (2007) Jennifer and Kevin Mckoy

A video camera and light circle a stationary boat model, moving up and down along a wave guide as they move. The projected image creates an illusion of the ship tossing and pitching on stormy seas.
