+
== Synapse ==  
=== Description ===
+
*http://synapsekinect.tumblr.com/post/6305020721/download
Pick a topic where a clear change / transformation occurs.<br>
 
Make use of both conceptual and visual contrasts;<br>
 
conceptual: poor/rich, left/right (political), village/city.<br>
 
visual: black/white, small/big, hard/soft.<br>
 
  
On the basis of the chosen topic, you make a visualization per group in the form of an image sequence. This sequence can be; photographed, filmed,
+
== Brekel ==
drawn, etc.
+
*http://brekel.com/
  
Via an existing template (which can be customized per group), the image sequence is connected to the Kinect. The transformation happens by body movements of the user.

=== Assessment criteria ===
+
For each assignment the group delivers:
* Conceptual development and research on the theme of 'transformation'.
+
* Textual description of the the concept
* Technical skills and realization of the prototype with the Kinect.
+
* Visual research, sketches, sound?
* Personal development, be able to develop new insights.
+
* Cast, who is responsible for what?
* Collaboration; being able to make an active contribution, meet deliverables, take responsibility.

== Assignment 2 - non linear storytelling ==
+
== Second Assignment ==
=== Description ===
 
Video is often presented in a linear fashion. In this assignment you create a nonlinear interactive video / animation. On the basis of the movements of
 
the user different scenes are triggered. Within this video you make use of video loops.
 
The topic for this video is "new / artificial nature '.
 
  
=== References ===
+
Scan (at least) one object or space using Kinect. Create a video where you used the scanned object or space to create a narrative (of at least 90 seconds).

=== Visualizing and Fixing 3D scanned models (Mac & Windows)  ===
Each student delivers a selfreflection based on the 2 assignments in which his or her contribution within the group becomes clear. Next to that analyse the process, and take into account what went well or less well,  ie where you personally could benefit from a continued effort.

*Meshmixer http://www.meshmixer.com/download.html
You have the option to deliver your selfreflection in the form of a written pdf, or a short video.

Processing + Post-production example

Sound Library for Processing

  • Examples:
  • IO -> AudioInput
  • Soundfile -> Sample

  • 2 Assignments
  • 50% of total score each one of them.
  • Working in groups

For each assignment the group delivers:

  • Cast, who is responsible for what?
  • Short video registration of the prototype / end result (each group is responsible for the filming and editing of their finished works)
