Description

Projection Mapping – mapping, Fluid, and GarageCube LED – Breaking free from the 4:3!  As a performing VJ you’ve probably started with a projector, laptop, controller and your artistry, your individual style and content.  Breaking free from the rectangular confines of the standard projected image can push your shows (in some cases) into a third dimension.  Max. 7 participants.

You will get hands-on experience with theLABVisuals 3D projection mapping kit, explore projection in 3D spaces and experiment with LED pixel mapping utilising GarageCube’s LED batons. 

Who is Projection Mapping – mapping, Fluid, and GarageCube LED aimed at?

Intermediate Course – An understanding of visuals and VJ performance is essential. You should have taken Creative VJ at Film Oxford, or have had similar training and experience. Learners on this course should have a good understanding of VJ related software and will have the opportunity to push their understanding outside of the boundaries of a projected image, experimenting and performing on differing environments utilising differing technologies.

Wikipedia on projection mapping – “Projection mapping is a projection technique used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into a display surface for video projection. These objects may be complex industrial landscapes, such as buildings, small indoor objects or theatrical stages.”.

Projection Mapping – mapping, Fluid, and GarageCube LED is a two-day intensive course is led by Tony Coleman & Michelle Ferguson (theLABVisuals), a duo based in Leicester UK. Introducing the skills involved with mapping, Michelle & Tony will clarify their process of working with VJ-specific hardware and software to create immersive environments, and use it in a creative and engaging way.  

Throughout the two days, learners are encouraged to document their own experiences through photographs and video capture. 

Software used includes Resolume. 25% discount available upon completing the course

The tutors

Tony Coleman first caught the visuals bug with the beginning of the Commodore 64 demo scene, hanging out with the prolific demo scene creators Ian & Mic in Basildon in the 1980’s and feel in love with electronic music throughout the same period. Utilising a Commodore Amiga he created his own software and produced VHS video cassettes to mix at a local nightclub and decided he wouldn’t pay to get into another venue again.

Michelle Ferguson has been a creative writer and performer for over a decade. Producing her own projection mapped theatre as well as performing live at many events throughout. Together they perform at many cross-genre events and pride themselves on their hands-on approach to playback. Further Credits include The Brickworks, Detonate, Detonate Festival, Shambala Festival, Green Meadows Festival, Toxic Orange, Secret Garden Party, El Dorado Festival, London Warehouse Events, Spectrum, Next Door, Global Gathering UK, We Are FSTVL, Glastonbury Festival, Shangri-La, Ministry of Sound, Eclectricity, Drop Beats Not Bombs, Firefly to name but a few.
