So got a major pitch coming up...

And on that count i have to get a working example of the work i am intending to produce. After more research and some practical experiments i have found out a few things about projection techniques and its limitations. This includes the ammount of alteration to geometry where the effect is believable; and what kind of surfaces accept the projection best.
I have begun to work on using normal maps as projections. This involves exporting normal maps from image data and having it interpreted in After effects.
I have had some success with a projector borrowed from the Uni; but unfortunatly; i can not show you the results as i am waiting for a camera....long story.
The main idea i have is to map Tremough House.
As you can see the middle bit with the nine windows could be a real possibility. On failing that i may approach the theatre dept and see if i can do anything with the staging crew to tie in with a performance. This is not what i really want to be doing; but it may open up other avenues or possibilities.
