I set up my 5K projector on the floor to project images on the plywood set, and an identical 5K borrowed from a friend on a 10 ft pole connected to a live cam either facing the backdrop and placed inside the set right beneath the window or overhead. I also installed the new 3K ultra short throw about 7 ft away from the backdrop and 2 ft above.
I moved my whole MacPro with quad monitors to the space, and we started playing with things.
We don't have time to put together a "real" show for light Dreams by May 5. So we ended up with ideas for 4 short very simple demonstrations that could be followed by public interactivity periods:
1."SHADOWPLAY": Very basic, but effective. A bright graphic image is projected and the dancers move in front of the projector.
2."GIANT CLONES": A live camera is mounted beneath the open window facing backstage, and the enlarged live image is projected on the plywood panels, while the dancers are seen through the window and move from the front to the back of the set through the doors interacting with themselves, the set itself, and their virtual selves:
3."NEWTON CHALLENGE": An overhead live camera image of the dancers crawling on the floor is projected on the front plywood set, giving an illusion of weightlessness:
Charling may do a version of her hand and feet drawing.
4."BARN FLIP": The front of the barn is projected on the plywood set and the inside on the backdrop. Then the point of view is turned
180 degrees and the inside wall of the barn with farm implements is projected on the plywood set while the landscape outside is projected on the background while the dancers circle in and out:
