Augmenting the World with Light - Projection Mapping

Learn how to take control of light in a whole new way, and augment the world around you with animations, color, simulated lighting, & more.

We’ll start with a quick conceptual overview, analyze various opportunities/limitations of the medium, then dive into a few live demos of what’s possible with projection mapping, using MadMapper.

Once you know the basics of mapping, it’s all about content! This workshop will be content-driven, sharing how to optimize your workflow by organizing a video template, tips I’ve learned to map rapidly during different “projection-a-day” road trips, live-video mixing, and using MIDI to make that job a lot smoother.

We’ll also touch on the fun logistics behind organizing a mapping installation, deciding what projectors you’ll need, how to mount them in difficult spots, and how to put together a mobile mapping setup.

Craig Winslow is an Adobe Creative Resident 2016/2017. Over the past year he’s been focusing on a project called Light Capsules, utilizing projection mapping to bring ghostsigns back to life. These worn ads are digitally recreated following much research, then projection mapped back onto themselves, literally shining a light on history.
