Accelerating Dimension

Dance artist Zelia ZZ Tan invites the audience to join her in an interactive dance adventure. 

The experience blends live performance, improvisation, motion capture, projections, and AR. Audience members follow hints and complete simple tasks as dancers move around the venue. This interaction blurs the lines between spectators and performers. 

This programme is part of Freespace’s “Phygital D”.

TEAM SIZE AND WORKLOAD

1-point perspective to 2-point perspective :
Exploring The Mirror Effect

The drawing below(left) shows the exploration of different ways of mirror effect to create different spatial narratives.
The video below(right) provides an animated pre-visualisation.

Screen A creates a different visual narrative depends on the way of mirroing

Screen 1 creates different visuals depending on the way of mirroring for 1-point perspective shot.

Virtual Camera Design : Final Shotlist

We have implemented 4 types of shots for 2 screens:

1) Extension shot - 2 screens project a wide shot (the 1st shot in the 1st column)

2) AB shot - 2 screens project different shots separately  (the 1st shot in the 2nd column)

3) Mirroring shot - can be found at the 1st shot in the 3rd column.

4) Single shot - only 1 screen shows the shot (the last shot of the entire shortlist)
