Developments (isadora)

All of the footage below has been edited using the ISADORA program which when arranged correctly can allow the user to input live footage which can edit the form of other media i.e. pre-recorded videos or imagery. 

In previous projections and printed pieces, I have tried to somehow change the 'narrative' of Will Finns photographs from Nowa Huta; in turn presenting a new narrative - while trying to connect the audience, so using a program like isadora, that allows the user to interact with the footage through  a live feed,  would present this process perfectly as they would be able to directly impact all facets of the design simply through a live feed 

Test 1. Threshold filter/actor applied to live feed imagery (webcam) - this footage would interrupt/cut off the 2nd set of footage; which was of the edited images of Will Finn's photographs from Nowa Huta.

Test 2. Here I have arranged the set up of ISADora to record the movement of my hand - in turn spinning the pre-recorded footage round when I make certain movements 

Test 3. Here I have added a shape 'input' to track the movement of my hand (through webcam) - This same effect could be applied to multiple shapes or images. 

Test 4. Here I have applied the same effect as seen above, but to multiple shapes. I wanted there to be more variation in this piece so I have made it so the that some of the shapes follow my hand as I move, but then some change size and move. This creates a more 'jarring' aesthetic - In previous projections and printed work, I have tried to somehow 'take away' or 'obscure' the content - while trying to connect the audience, so using a set of shapes/images that could interact to the movement from a live feed would present this perfectly. 

Test 5. Shapes mimicking the movement of pre-recorded footage. Could layer the imagery so that there is content reacting to live-footage and to prerecorded footage (moving cut up images of will finns photographs from Nowa Huta) . 

Test 6. Shapes reacting (moving/enlarging) to footage tracking the eye movement of lewis trying to follow previous gifs I had made of cut images fo Will Finns Nowa Huta photographs.
