Pico Projector Project

 
 Orginally I had intended for this piece to be displayed on the lockers near the classroom.
After testing it on the lockers I decided I needed a new location. I tried projecting it above the heaters in the hallway, but ultimately decided on the large vent on the ceiling in the classroom. This was my first foray into After Effects. I had trouble masking the background and unfortunately didn't realize a simple black background would've done the trick. From the beginning I had wanted to create something with light. Originally I looked into making light streaks, but that was too difficult. So I decided to make fire in After Effects. I went through several tutorials before finding one that was successful in helping me. I followed the tutorial, but made some of my own alterations to achieve a more convincing flame. Delving into video mapping and After Effects was difficult, but I'm proud with what I created.
