Video Projection
Studio at 550
In this SKILLSET learn what’s involved (and what’s possible) in video projection. From integrating video clips, to live interactive camera feeds, and even some talk about projection screen materials. Manipulating light with projection can be effective using the simplest elements, such as a simple line that moves through the space. Projection design can go far beyond just playing a movie in the background while your performance happens in front. There will be some talking, some doing, and perhaps some interactivity with the technology while performing.
