Project 03 - Memory - Things


Projection Based Project at Olveston House from Oliver Lodge on Vimeo.
A Projection based work looking at objects and memories.

Project 03 was our site specific project, based at Olveston House, once again the project revolved around photography so I came up with my own idea. I took reference photos of things in order to recreate them digitally.

In the Room we were working in there was a cabinet full of various different interesting objects. you could tell these objects were of importance, and could tell they had a history just by looking at them.
I wanted to make an CG version of each object but with less than 2 weeks for the entire project and my limited skill, I was forced to come up with something else.

In a workshop with Ted, I got the idea to use projection, I used a reference image that I had planned to project the contents of the wardrobe into the wardrobe, using one of the art schools full hd projectors.
Using this as the basis, I used some of the animation I had already made, along with other reference images to create my animated projection.

The original video was rather fast paced and after some feedback I extended the video and spread the animations further apart. making the video significantly longer.

The plan was to have the video constantly looping but due to technical difficulties with the media box on the day, I wasn't able to keep the video in constant loop. but while it did work, I feel the work as a whole was quite succsessful.

Project 03 Research


After getting the idea to do projection I had a look into projection art heres some great works that I found.



Projection art focus's a lot on site specific works and thats really what I tried to accomplish with this olveston project.
