Breaking the Frame

On Tuesday Mike got the ikcam client discovery software working. After this turning point, the actual cameras needed to be bought. Also the method of how to assemble the different forms of footage needed to be thought through.

On Wednesday the cameras were acquired and Mike connected them to the software. Subsequently Carl and Dan mounted them on a quarter ark. The initial idea to create time lapse videos that change from speed (depending on the users activation), was dumped down. Now every time a group swipes their tag only one frame of the continuous stream of video will be captured by 10 separate cameras, put together into an animated gif that will be embedded into the profile of the user. How to make such an installation look nice was the next phase of the construction Carl and Dan had to tackle.

Finally arriving at the Gashouder, the tent is not exactly what the group imagined; it is a circus tent with 8 different colors. This is another (cool) challenge. A problem that presents itself however is that there is not so much light. This takes away from the quality of the photos; they get very grainy.
For a next project this could be easily solved depending on the situation. Dan, Carl and Mike were however satisfied that the project works and the actual results are directly embedded within the profiles of the users.
