HOBATION

Concept

According to the official Cimatics Festival website, Cimatics Festival focuses on presenting to a large and diverse public what is taking place at the cross-roads of art, media, music, design or technology. After taking some research about audiovisual art, I like the idea those artists use multiple screens to show their artwork. Moreover, the trailer of the video game "Crysis 2" inspires me. In that trailer, they use many crystal objects as screen to play video on. As the result, I think multi-screen projecting and those crystal screens can be fit for Cimatics Festival open sequence.

Process

I made several small test boards to see if I can put some information on a "crystal screen," and I think it works. Next, I make a lot of crystal in Maya, and I use a video clip as the texture for those crystal objects, and then I use After Effects to add information on raw video footage from Maya.
