A visual projectory show was created for Ralph Lauren in November 2010, supposedly the first 4D experience in the world.

Leonardo Di Vinci: The Camera Obscura

A Camera Obscura is an optical device which can project an image of it's surroundings onto a screen. The Camera Obscura will have a hole in the side. Light from an external scene passes through the hole and makes contact with a surface inside where it is perfectly reproduced upside-down. An artist may use this image for tracing and drawing with more accuracy.
Some Camera Obscuras may use a lens instead of a hole because it allows a larger aperture, giving a usable brightness whilst maintaining focus.
This technology was later used for developing cameras that exist today.

It has been said that the artist (and inventor) Leonardo Di Vinci used a Camera Obscura for creating the famous Shroud of Turin. It was never 100 percent proven that this was the case, however it was thought that with all the chemicals and attributes at his disposal, this shroud could be one of the first photographs in history, which Di Vinci created.

Teamwork

We are encouraged to develop skills associated with teamwork, problem solving, information gathering and communication from this project. The tutorials made preparations for the exhibitions and enforced a teamwork spirit.

Task one

Using “water” into its theme, we draw a picture at same time. Firstly, we need do planning for our picture. Secondly, the group's members worked together, with an appropriate division of labor.

The hard part is that simultaneously, we need manage the time and fulfill a task.

Task two

We dropped an egg from upstairs and keep egg does not break. The group's members have different ideas and it is not easy to reach an agreement. Anyway, we reached a consensus and smoothed completion task.

Kseniya Simonova

Kseniya has been a keen artist and poet all of her life. Raised with the strong inspiration of her family, her mother Irina Simonova was an artist, stylist, theatrical designer and teacher of fine arts and she was sure that her daughter had to develop her talent from early childhood.
She studied in Volkoffs Artistic School of Evpatoriya and the School of Fine Arts Evpatoriya.

Kseniya Simonova has developed a very unique skill of creating multiple images with the use of sand and can create these artistic works in front of a live audience whilst projecting an image of the work in progress on a screen.

Ross Ashton: Projection Artist

Ross Ashton believes that a projection artist must be able to effectivly use every skill needed to become an expert in the medium. As a projection artist, he is involved in every stage of his work, which includes locations, surveying the projection surface and creating/producing the image that will be used in the project. To fully complete his work, Ashton is also involved with the effects, music and writing/scripting of the idea.

Images of projection

Producers claimed that there is no SFX, no post production, no cuts in the video and everything you see here is 100% for real. We can see how magical works of projection in the video. The movie takes 3D projection mapping and gives the viewer a new marvelous experience of projection.

In the past, images of projection worked from a single, static view point, and thus were very limited. By attaching the PlayStation Move to the camera, we can track projections to screens in real time, enhancing the effect of spatial deformation and false perspective on the projections and allowing viewers to look virtual corners, bend walls, create a hole in the wall, or remove the walls altogether to reveal vast expanses of virtual worlds.

I watched this video .However, I hardly think this can be considered post-production and I have no doubt it was shot in one take.

DIY Projector

The Practice 2 module need group works. I met our group member. Actually this is my first time work with group. I always make animations by myself and never thought that I will work together with others in different subjects. Group works is not only exercising our good teamwork spirit, pragmatic style of work, but also cultivate own higher in the organization and management capabilities.

Firstly, we did simple projector. We really enjoy process design.

I am exciting about this joint project which can cultivate students' ability of practice, teamwork and to resolve problem.
