The Maccabees (in the dark) – Live performance recording with 10 Kinects

Category Members openFrameworks People , , Posted on:

Two weeks ago we were invited to be at the filming of the new video of the The Maccabees, presented by Vevo for the Magners ‘Made in the Dark’ campaign. Unfortunately we could not make it but earlier today, James Aliban posted details of the result. Project is the brainchild of Directors Jamie Roberts and Will Hanke, and the performance contained a combination of live action footage (shot with an Alexa on a technocrane) and an animated sequence by Jamie Child and James Ballard. The scene was all shot in 3D, with a rig that contained 10 Kinect cameras, each attached to a Macbook Pro. The technical consultant on the project was James Aliban.

The Crystallisation Event – Endless digitisation and supersaturation of data

Created by Jayson Haebich, The Crystallisation Event explores a speculative future in which the endless digitisation and quantification of data has caused information to become supersaturated and begin a process of crystallisation. The project is presented as a speculative museum exhibit showing future artefacts from this post crystallised data world.

Kinedioscope: Muir Woods – Advancing photogrammetry for depth and masking

Created by London based convivial studio, Kinedioscope is a technique used to create animated depth effects on static photographs. The process is comprised of reverse-engineering the technology of photogrammetry in order to perfectly align the photography with the perspective of the 3D model and create depth and masking effects.
