It took me way to long to finally recognize that I would have to do most everything myself after all. I tried and tried to find help and thought at one point I did, but in the end, nobody has come though with anything at all, so I am re thinking the whole concept. I was going for the most sophisticated animation possible, but it would probably be a waste of time. There are so many unknowns and things I cannot control: weather, ambient light, other shows nearby, degradation of image in projection.
I went to the technical meeting at the new Red Cross building Monday, and was told I would have a 20000 lumens projector and a big sound system, and will be able to use a scissors lift the day before the show to set up, but that I would have to find funding for the foam panels and tape to board up the doors and windows. I was also told we would have a dress rehearsal the night before with the projector, and that is a big relief... We should be able to get all the adjustments taken care of in advance, and be operational quickly on Saturday night.
Randall Crow, a local professional Photographer, Videographer, Movie Maker and Artist was just now recruited by PTTR, and is going to try within tight time constraints to come up with a short show to play on the same building, and share the projector with me.
I believe I will take a more cartoonish and stylized approach to the animation, and play up the strength and originality of the images, the surprise factor, the colors, the movement, alternating "mapped" sequences of the building itself in various guises, and fantasy images.
I will work up the main sequences to an adequate stage and put together a playable movie. Then, if time remains, I will go back refine the details, and possibly add more sequences.
