Hello to a new episode of Gerrit's diary!
About one and a half years ago, Sven and I thought about old ideas we could realize.
One of them was doing a video projection on a little white house.
This small idea turned out into a big project for Tim.
You are now very busy doing video projections.
Your first big project was the National Monument to Victor Emmanuel in the Italy section.
You could say that the others got the hard work, we've got the fun, because the model builders have been drawing the monument for months
to get a 3D drawing at the computer.
Then it was produced by the CNC milling machine and by weeks of handiwork.
But we already have the drawing and just need to upload it or is there more to do?
I need to do quite a lot, for example deleting lots of data I don't need.
Then I start unfolding the building into digital squares.
Then I've got a canvas to paint on.
Are you later able to chose any perspective or do you need to decide on one perspective early?
Like if the projector is there, from which angles can they project?
Do you need to know the area you're projecting on before creating the film?
I could do that, just like I did with the Northern lights.
There is a flat surface and when I create content for it, I can just upload it.
It is like a movie screen.
3D-mapping is different because you need to unfold every single surface.
The way I unfold it determines the way the animation is put over the drawing.
I need to think about what I want to achieve.
For example: I can't let water run here because it would look like the building is flooded.
That would be animated with after-effects.
Here are lots of screens and the media server. Do you use all of them at the same time or are you just too lazy to change plugs?
I really need some more computers.
First I upload the building's data by using blender.
Then I work with these single areas.
In the end I get a picture that looks like this.
It represents my canvas.
If I would write "Hi Gerrit" on here, on the original building, that is shown on that computer, the content would be on this and the 3D model on that side.
In the end, the content is put on the 3D model so the pixel show up at the place I want them to.
That's a good keyword.
Theoretically you could use the software and the media server with 7-8 projectors that create a projection all around a building.
That is super exciting and we will do it some time.
Until then, we will do some small gimmicks with a big effect like the Northern lights.
Exactly, that was the last project. I'm not even sure where this idea came from.
I think the idea came up a long time ago.
And when I had a week without much to do, I tried to realize this idea because we have the technology here.
Sven? Tim didn't have much to do, did you hear that?
Where did I stop?
One of the biggest challenges while doing the Northern light project with the latest technology was projecting on three walls.
We had a distance of 2m from the projector to the wall.
We needed to cheat and use a short-throw projector.
But the problem was that we got a trapezium.
We needed to adjust until we finally got a smooth screen that I could produce content for.
When I got that, Sven and I just needed to use our rudimentary after effect skills.
And then it developped.
First we created water and animated it.
And then the Northern lights Sven created were added.
Finally we added some little gags.
There is for example a Titanic passing by at midnight.
In the end, we were happy when we saw the surprised visitors' faces.
It makes me very happy when my work is appreciated, especially when you're not a professional- but on the way to it.
If you saw the Wunderlandians' episode with Tim where 3D-mapping was already a topic,
you know how hard it was for him to get through the exhibition with that huge machine.
That's why our fans gave you a present. You won't have any problems from now on.
Venice has got another problem- Venice is sinking.
We sat together and thought about how to present this.
The idea was taking a house and letting it collapse.
Collapsing would be the best, but the problem is rebuilding it.
You need to imagine how the house falls into 70 pieces.
That's not a problem and looks very cool, but we are not able to rebuild it automatically.
That's why we reduced it a little bit. We thought of a little scene. Venice is also called the city of love.
I can already hear them, two people have found each other.
Starting leisurely, it turns out into an increased love act.
In Venice, this can lead to shaking houses and a resonance catastrophe that makes the house collapse.
You can see them, they are still quite slow, but we will change that.
This is more realistic.
Daylight seems to disturb them and they stop.
The house can be rebuilt again.
That's how we imagine it, this is the beta-version. Let's see how it will turn out in the end.
This is this episode's last topic.
And because this is the last topic and you can see the Formula 1 over here, you can imagine that there isn't a breakthrough, otherwise it would have been my first topic.
But there is a little progress: The test track has arrived.
The producer needed more time because the circuit boards were a real challenge.
The heat due to strong power and the conductors' distances weren't easy to handle.
But now they're here.
That means our test track is waiting for Axel who is putting it together. And I don't want to disturb him.
Let's just hope that you can see some moving cars in our next episode.
See you then- Tschüss!
You could say that the others had the hard work, we've got the fun, because the emanuele elevittorio monumente
fun, because here at the monumento vittorio emanuele.
model builders had been working for months on the vitmonu.
for months on the emanuff
Monumento Vittorio Emanuele is that place's name I think.
The model builders have the Emanuele Vittorio thing.
Others had work, we we have fun because the model bui...
In the case of the Vic...
And again.
In the case of the Monurent- mumu äh Vittorio.
In the case of the building.
So with this thing, it's like this- what was the question?
Our fans made you a present.
Now you won't have any problems- If the flashing blue light would work.
And go.
Contenance!
Camera is running!
Oh no!
What could cause rhythmic vibrations in "vitaly"?
They're happy about the daylight at their... fun.
But we also need to set it back, so I'll slow the boys down... Uhm boys?
