Week 9-12: Relief Mapping - Pablo Reyes

Concept

Continuing on the concept of my Room Mapping Project, this composition expresses a different perspective towards my idea of allowing the viewer to step inside my mind and with it, to have a moment in which my memories are seen through space.

The second composition is the successor of a work created in my video production class, the story talks about a hacker who lost his wife due to an automated car accident. He loses his mind throughout the video and creates an Artificial Intelligence that replaces his wife but such becomes a much greater burden than her physical state.

Process

The first composition was created in After Effects and Mad Mapper, I initially exported the line output from MM and used it as a base to create the animation of the videos within AE.




Interpretation

Week 6-9 Classroom Mapping - Pablo Reyes

Concept

Its hard to keep my mind together sometimes, especially when there are so many things to think about; Family, Friends, Career, Food, Nature, and Indulgences. This composition shall allow the audience to step into my head and get a taste of goes through it every day, it's a lot I know, but wear my shoes for a moment and understand my story. It's important for me to share where I come from since I got big plans for where I am going next and I want to make sure that everyone knows that dreams come true if you work hard for them and that some will have to work harder than others but that is perfectly fine!

Process

This composition was created by analyzing every possible surface in which the light from the projectors would hit, every single pixel! From boxes on the shelves to pre-made sculptures at the studio, I aimed to interact with as many surfaces as I could. I created a quad for each individual video and placed it according to the following layout.

Here lays a bonus composition due to my latest party mood. 

Rainbow Veins Composition

Pablo Reyes - Assignment II - Tape Mapping

Concept:

Inspired by the origins of this origami crane, I constructed a composition in which all of my hypothesis regarding the nature of such are designed in a single layout. 

Crane Setup

Process:

The creation of this composition was serviced by a pre-made origami stop motion which served as the main video, free footage of a swan swimming on a lake, and a slow-motion cloud formation visual. The videos were compiled in adobe premiere pro and animated in adobe after effects.

After Effects Sound Reaction Process

Interpretation:

This video represents three theories regarding the origin of the crane: The first is that of a single piece of white paper, folded with care yet accurately, it initially transforms into a more organic form of a crane then into a standard origami style. A second theory involves a reversed transformation, from an organic shape into a two-dimensional form. Lastly, a third theory is based on a formation of clouds that were compiled and compress until the crane shape was formed.

Concept:

Inspired by the music video Human by SEDVALIZA, this composition is organized as of how I perceive the visual to be projected into the following static wireframe.

2 Projector Setup-Left Projector

2 Projector Setup-Right Projector

Process:

The composition was edited in adobe's after effects and premiere pro, within the latter a series of masks were created in reference to the rectangle design of the right projector, as well as a sound reactive opacity. On the opposite side of the design, the sound reactive rectangle lines were animated in after effects implementing the keyframing assistant, a blender effect, and the ease(value, x,y, minx, max,y)  expression. The animated lines on the sculptures, speakers, the projector, and the pipe, were created within the MadMapper software using the projector as a reference.

After Effects Masking

Interpretation:

The meaning of this composition relies on SEVALIZA's song Human, which was introduced by a friend of mine, during a trip to Cici's pizza. I interpret the video of this piece as stating that she is a human despite her minotaur half and with the lyrics, "I am flesh, bones, I am skin, soul, I am human, Nothing more than human" resonates with my perspective on how one should compare itself to another being.

Concept:

This creation was inspired by the lamp setup and the functionality behind candle lanterns, though they are not convenient during such modern times, I always wanted to own one thus the following composition.

Lantern Setup

Process:

Pre-made footage of some animated 3d candles was taken into adobe after effects and altered using a scatterize effect, sound reactive scale transformation, and color correction. The orange lines and sound reactive ellipses were animated within MadMapper.

Interpretation:

This is a lantern that is traveling through space. A distorted flame appears whenever the lamp goes through a wormhole and arrives at a dimension where enough gravity allows its shape to remain unified.

Concept:

I drink monster's zero ultra energy drink whenever I need that extra push. The latter inspired this composition to be a commercial implementation of projection mapping where the company would project this on a wall next to a corner store and even a building.

Lion Setup

Process:

Compiled in adobe's premiere pro, a monster energy drink 3d animation commercial by youtube user Vproductions was altered one and at times two mirror effects in order to create a kaleidoscope visual, creative lumetri color corrections and a glitch reaction to Monster Energy's logo made from scratch. 

MadMapper Setup

Interpretation:

Power, energy, and lots of movement are all I think when I see a visual of a lion, thus this composition is created based on such. I decide to keep the original audio of the animated commercial since it produced an active yet controlled sense of energy, which represents the feeling I get whenever I drink my emergency dose of this energy drink.
