Elective - Kinect Hacks
1 quarter / 8 weeks / 2 hours per week
Teachers
Olivier Otten
Brigit Lichtenegger
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
Description
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.

Assignment 2 - non linear storytelling
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 '.

Self-reflection
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. You have the option to deliver your selfreflection in the form of a written pdf, or a short video.
