For the final project I wanted to incorporated my costume design into media. I wanted to test painting designs onto fabric while a performer is moving around. For this project I brought in several skills and learned new skills while creating the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing for the final project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to create a skirt that would also act as a media surface.\nI decided to go with a hoop skirt as that would provide a large space to\nproject upon. I ended up drafting a pattern and sewing a skirt made out of\ntaffeta. I purchased a white turtle neck shirt to allow for more surface to project\nupon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to obtain the audio and visual aspects of the\nexperience. When I first put together the project it was just a dress form in\nthe middle of the space. After running it one time for the class and obtaining\nfeedback as well as experiencing Andre\u2019s multi-media experience, I knew that I\nwas missing elements that finally came to mind. I needed more atmosphere. This\nis when I had to decide on a story and find audio and visual elements to go with\nit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to utilize a Blue October song as their music\nthemes had been weighing heavily on me lately. It was after finding one that I\nliked that I knew I needed to find some corresponding audio as well. After\ncountless hours of searching on the internet I finally decided to pull audio\nfrom five sources. Those were One Republic\u2019s Connection, Lovelytheband\u2019s Broken,\nBlue October\u2019s Daylight, a short film called Siren, and Lindsey Stirling\u2019s\nFirst Light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For visual I utilized top down images that were found randomly\nthat included mandala\u2019s and geometric shapes. This was projected onto the performer\nfrom the grid. I had two side scrims that I put images on that were very similar.\nThe images included people in crowds where they did not interact, geometric\nshapes, a disco ball type lights as if you were inside the ball that were\nturning, a hillside looking down to the ocean, and then the northern lights. The\ndisco ball lights moved in a direction going towards the center screen. The\nhillsides were similar but different in that they both went downward towards\nthe middle screen. The center screen started with a man who kept going through\na crowd of people where he was not able to interact with anyone, then we moved\nto an eye that had digital images on the iris, the next video was two videos overlapped\nwith the visual of rain falling on a window with words that corresponded to\nlyrics that showed up. The lyrics were recorded in a PowerPoint slide show, the\nnext video was where you were underwater looking at the surface, followed by\nvideos of ink being injected into water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before this project I had not done any audio or video\nediting. I ended up finding a program online called Video Pad Video Editor. I\nwas able to get down to the single frame to be able to edit the different\nimages to change at the same time. I first edited the middle video to the audio\nthat was my starting point. It was definitely an eye opener as to what video\neditors go through which I now have a new appreciation for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used Isadora to create the framework for the videos to\npush through the projectors. I also utilized the Kinnect to follow the\nperformer. I connected the Kinnect to Isadora through the program Vuo. Everything\nhad tested well and worked on the last class period and when I got into the motion\nlab the day of performance the Kinnect was no longer in the same spot. I even\ntested the top down projector and it seemed to work. Between then and when I\nwas able to set up again for the actual performance there were changes to the\nprojector in Isadora which caused the projections on the performer not to work\nthe way it had previously.  Luckily Alex\nwas there to create a new projector for the video to go through correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looked like the audience enjoyed the experience. After\nthe performance I was able to get another video for archival purposes. After\nthat there were three faculty members from ACCAD, Design and Theatre and I was\nable to run it one more time. After reflecting on the conversation that happened\nafterwards, I realized that I have grown. I was able to describe what was technically\ngoing on fairly easily. At the beginning of the semester there is not a way\nthat I could have done that. Overall, I am very happy with the way everything\nturned out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
