Video Mapping!

[Poor Bison]

Hey all! It's been some time since I posted here, Poor Bison has been busy :p

So let's talk about... video mapping! Haha. It seems kinda random, but it's what I'm going to be busy doing more of in future, plus it's awesome, so let's talk about it :p

Basically it's when you get like, a projector, and aim it at a building or structure and 'map' the content of the video to the object it will appear on. For example:

Cool, huh? So many applications. If you've heard of Amon Tobin you may have seen this, but check it out anyway:

So I gave this sort of thing a go to see what I could do!

I came up with this:

Basically only two main mapped layers (foreground and background) but worked pretty well. This was my end of year project at EIT where I studied graphic design (well, even though this is more motion graphics haha). What do you guys think?

Feel free to share examples of this type of stuff, or even videos that you've taken of projected stuff you've been lucky enough to witness!

It's definitely a more common form of advertising these days.

Same as me, I took a three month long hiatus. I came back in April. You should check out the "GAME: who am I?" thread (http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=124631). Pretty freaking fun if I do say so myself.

Anyway, sorry for getting off-topic, I'm just glad to see you back. :D

That sounds like something from 1995 where they'd put videos of real people on virtual backgrounds etc. I remember when it first came out it was revolutionary. They had this title that got banned I think called 'Sorority' or something. The plot was to just kill girls. He he. Oh the limited mind.

A wee bit late reply, hehe, but that's pretty awesome stuff there, Poor Bison :thumb:

And the first video is pretty epic. What a cool way to ring in the new year! Where was that?
