Format
Students work in groups of max. 5 people.
For each assignment the group delivers:
- Textual description of the the concept (+/- 1 A4)
- Visual research, sketches
- Cast, who is responsibale for what?
- Short video registration of the prototype / end result (each group is responsible for filming and editings of their finished works)
The documentations described above is required to be assessed.
Assignment 1 – Transformation
Pick a topic where a clear change / transformation occurs.
Make use of both conceptual and visual contrasts;
conceptual: poor/rich, left/right (political), village/city.
visual: black/white, small/big, hard/soft.
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, drawn, etc.
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.
Duration 3 weeks:
- week 1: Introduction Kinect. (connecting, drivers, plugins, scripting) + discussing the assignment
- week 2: conceptdevelopments / create prototype
- week 3: presentation prototype
