Work Day - 2/6/13

During class time, our group had the opportunity to work with the stage space to determine if there were any issues with our setup. We found that with the scrim up the Kinect sensor would need to be placed behind the scrim in order for sensor to capture my movements. Even with the scrim up, the projector is still projecting onto the screen behind and on me. The effect made is not what the group wanted to do. We decided on placing the projector behind the scrim and projecting  it forward towards the audience. Since there  is a bright light emanating from the projector, we will need to place the projector on a diagonal and correct for the distortion onto the scrim.

The graphics and the motion capture are meshing nicely and working correctly. We are in the process of determining the exact graphics we would like to use. As of right now, we have circles emanating from my hands which change color based on height and disappear after a certain distance is met. I believe we are on schedule and will be ready for the performance next Wednesday.

As for the dance, I realized  my phrases were not long enough to meet the required two minutes. I used the time during class to elongate the phrases and begin practice on the structured improvisation part. I was able to practice in the space which allowed to understand how much space I had to work with. I was also about to determine what moves would not be captured by the sensor and at what level.
