  • ACCAD Production page
  • Theater Department page
  • Cycling '74 Jitter page

• Hardware System Diagram
• Video Sequencing System Diagram

• Technical Examples:
  • virtual 3d theater for training and visualization (Carrie)
  • multiple alpha layers looping at different rates (So Yeon)
  • user interface design (Fran)
  • Dripping blood writing (Jon)
  • Earth writing (Jon)
  • Envronmental Triggers: (Marlon)
    • sound triggers animation
    • camera motion detection triggers animation
    • midi sensor triggers animation (waiting for equip)
  • store frozen audience from video when comp fire and writing (since can't comp audience and writing and insert fire between...)
    • live audience feed from both cameras
    • writing (style?) over freeze-framed fire + live audience layers
    • live audience goes high contrast, then writing "falls into" fire
    • writing wiped away by drifting/exploding smoke
  • test dual firewire inputs blended
  • network control: one machine triggers/controls another (w/MIDI)
  • image spreads across multiple screens on cue (w/MIDI)
  • random clips on random screens for random durations
  • record/store/process/replay video: suzanne's desk, audience (?)
  • fingerprint writing (still needed?)
  • writing interacts with blood layer (still needed?)
  • multiscreen speed/reverse/random control (needed?)

• Matt Tasks:
  • need to know what writing over fire looks like
  • does sep firewire card in tower mean two firewire channels at once?
  • investigate whether OTHER dazzle is better
  • shopping list to Mark
  • ask Jim/Mark for the writing PC
  • create simple patch page - add / document what I've got
  • scene3 video layout: what goes where when? (KT)
  • create resources page: theater - 2 imacs + 1.7ghz PC from Jim Knapp (get specs) note our machines: laptop/iLamp/G3/DV/pb
  • send URL with links to Matt Feeman for meeting

• Wish list:
  • live/processed video of audience "hidden" as they enter
  • extract moving foreground from prior captured background
  • interactive particle systems: "moths to the flame" (actor/light)
  • fade multiple video layers in and out
  • actor profile extraction: teddy's shadow
  • video flies into particles (teddy's shadow flies into smoke (ash))
  • turbulent procedural cloud/smoke animation (renderman shader)
  • actor motion tracking controls an effect parameter
  • side/angle 3D projection demo
  • wearable wireless for audience/actor cams?
  • interactive morph between 3D objects
  • face tracking
  • project live shadow, modify it
  • get/process/use digital copy of script (animated text)
  • poser hands
