Custom video content creation is a crucial aspect of projection mapping that involves designing and producing unique visuals for a specific event or space.
The process involves creating 3D models and animations, mapping them onto surfaces, and synchronizing them with the audio and lighting effects, resulting in an immersive and unforgettable experience.
At Lumenarius we love combining the worlds of art and computers to make visually pleasing and captivating presentations of light and architecture as one.
Below are some of our favorite methods for creating this video content.
Pre-Recorded Video Footage
Using found video footage, such as video camera recordings and cinematic real world footage, is a great way to create dynamic and immersive video content for architectural projection mapping.
The footage can be edited and manipulated to fit the unique contours and details of a building, resulting in a stunning visual experience.
Analog Scale Model
By creating a scale model of the architecture or projection surface we can create extremely creative and playful video content. We do this by placing a camera above the surface of the scale model.
Once we hit record we can then apply liquids, objects, light and shadow, and so many other dynamics to generate wonderful effects and looks that are very modern yet entirely hands on.
Computer Generated
Design tools like After Effects, Blender, Stable Diffusion (AI), and custom written software allow us to manipulate digital assets and create immersive 3D environments for projection mapping experiences.
Through the use of these tools, we are able to bring our creative visions to life in increasingly stunning and visually engaging ways that reflect the technology of our era.
Live Video Feed
Integrating a live video feed into the video projections for a live event or interactive art space can add a dynamic and immersive element to the experience for the audience.
This technology can be utilized to showcase real-time footage, close-ups of performers, or other interactive elements that can enhance the overall environment.
