New Idea: Interactive Video

Scratch That!

I have been trying and testing out the code for my surveillance installation piece but it's just not coming together. I had trouble with setting up the Kinect for motion detection and connecting it to the code because I am pretty new to coding. There was a bug in the source-code that I could not access and debug. There was no possible way of getting this done in the time-frame that I had left.

The next step was to figure out something that I could do that still related to the concept and research that I was looking into. And also that I could code.





This is the final idea that I came up with. 

To prepare to start learning the code for this interactive video. I have to quickly type up some positive and negative characteristics of each of the 12 zodiac signs to make each video.

The next step is to start filming the videos, which I need an actress for to read the characteristics of each sign. She will have something in the video representing the elements of each sign (fire, water, earth & air).

I will be using a canon 700D and an 18-35mm sigma lens and rode mic to film the video. 

Step 3 is to make sure I make the photo that's going to be in the overlay of the code, and also an overlay over the user on the picture that will be posted to twitter.

After this I will need to think about making each title in Photoshop for each one of the signs. and a prompt page to let the user know when to press the buttons.

A background image that will be shown when the video is sleeping during the exhibition.

Then I will create a twitter API key so that the code would actually be able to connect to the twitter page that I created.

Once all this is prepared it can be implemented into the code which I will be learning in the python programme on the Raspberry Pi.

I know this is all very ambitious but I'm determined to make this all work before the exhibition in January.
