What is Digg?63 Comments
- Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19For those who don't speak french, here is a rough translation of what the caption at the beginning and end said:
Beginning:
The video you are
watching was made
in Dijon, during the
Christmas season.
This video measures,
in effective surface,
750 square meters.
The technique used,
coupled 4 video projectors,
allowed the application
of making together
a "matter" video. (doesn't make much sense to me either)
With the "mapping video" technique
we are the only
ones who could do this.
Here is an extract/summary of the spectacle
"Fairy"
End:
The video projection
a medium of the future
In effect, before too many
years, we will
in mass create
video projections
painted on
buildings of all types,
mixing
real perspectives
with those projects,
creating a
triumph of animated light
and hyper-realism.
Excuse my, french, seriously. At least my translation is better than Google's. - syowr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Really not the same thing at all...
When you watched volleyball on your frat house did the ball sometimes bounce into a window on the wall and disapear? If you don't get what I mean you need to watch that video a lil closer.
The part where the blobs of goo roll down the building especially you can see that the goo is refractive. The windows and such "under" it deform just like if real goo rolled over it. Very few scenes in that vid show the building being used just as a screen. - reaver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Very cool. Here's the youtube link so people can see the vid when the site gets owned:

- mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I love the way it's been designed from the ground up specifically for that building.
- MrFisty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Awesome. Now I can project a video of the Death Star on to the moon.
Freak that pesky Alliance out. - streetstealth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5You mean anyone who does *not* realize?
- streetstealth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Look closely, and you'll see even the beginning bit with the fairies is "casting shadows"' on the building's features.
Think about that for a second; they've modeled the entire façade of the building in 3D to render shadows making it look like there are light sources just inches away from its surface! Amazing! - MugatuOT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Are you serious? Think of all the work that went just into making sure the images align well with the building.
- thetasine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That was amazingly cool, I especially like the part near the middle where the virtual openings go in and out between the windows, good stuff.
- phunlee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Since we're swapping projection stories. We had an old 8mm projector and one 8mm reel of porno. We beamed it across the street on the apartment complex. It was clearer than you'd think.
- lukes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3jguy584 > psst, click the play button :)
- cantrap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Clever use of the structure of the building into the video...
Now there's potential for setting up a house for Halloween: flames!
or Christmas... set up normal lights have them flicker off occasionally, and add flames! - phidong, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I didn't think the first half of the video was that impressive, but the second half (about in the middle) when the building starts moving and when they start taking advantage of the shape of the building was pretty awesome.
- Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Anyone else see the part about 4/5 through with the light flashing across the frames of the windows and think "ultimate Christmas light display?"
- mikevaus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Technically VERY impressive. Think of the work involved to develop the video based on the building shape and features, align 4 seperate projectors to suit, and syncronise the output to the projectors to produce a seamless video.
- ZapWizard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That rocked.
There are so many cool things you could do with this.
Make the building look aged, war torn, on fire even.
A permanent install for some building like an Art museum would be very cool. - SoberEmu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4yes, you probably would. Even though this may not be technically impressive, it is fun to see how they used the building's design to create a sort of light show.
- Gills, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2that was sweet, but the cameraman should be shot. dude lay off the zoom
- intoflatlines, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3i thought it wasn't all that interesting until the section where it seemed like the building was like opening up sections of its walls and windows. the scene where the liquid-y stuff dripped down the side of the building was pretty cool too..
+digg - kuba425, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This is really awesome...I've never seen anything like it.
If this had been done with one or two projectors I still would have dug.
The fact that it is based on the features of the building is amazing! - zenscope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2wow, the clock and window interactions were amazing. wish i could have seen it in person. nice find.
- kd5ftn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is really amazing. A ton of work went into this project.
1) Just designing all those graphics for the video is a ton of work. Then designing it so it plays perfectly on a multi-head display of 4 projectors on a precise building is really difficult.
2) Just think how perfectly aligned all those projectors had to be to give this effect
3) Those must be some DAMN bright projectors. And if the images looked that good on video, they must look amazing on the actual wall.
Simple idea, but great execution! - dougallj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes, but not watching volleyball either... watching in a volleyball court.
- FiveIron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I saw something simalar done on the centre building of parliment in canada a few years back, I think they only used 3 projectors, it was pretty sweet then, but that was like 4 years ago, it's not so impressing now
- jchalmer85, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, totally looks like barco 10K or something there about - I'm wondering about their media server and what kind of backend they were using - that kind of alignment and sync is fairly tricky. This kind of stuff is just starting to trickle down into Theatre, so I'm starting to see more and more of it cross my desk.
- chosenone-, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Man am I jealous of those who saw that live on psychedelic substances. Bastards!
- jeolmeun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They should project some people on the ledges.
- donsherio, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2OOO! lol ive seen this before, but not at this scale and not anything like this where the video interacts with the wall its on. I watched a presentation that projected on 3 screens hand had basically 3 projectors hooked up to i think 3 DVD playyers that simultaneously played a 3display wide presentation. it was pretty sweet, but this one kicks!
- buryme, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Beat that Crazy Christmas Lights guy!
- moshisushi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The green projection in the beginning (that followed the lines of the facade) was really cool. Would have been awesome with more stuff in that sorta "kraftwerky" style. Too much out-of-context eye candy in this one i think.
- spect3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is pretty cool; I think Disney Land's Hanted mansion uses the same technique.
- mroony, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool!
- brucebeh, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2This is very cool, very very cool concept and amazing to seel it all work together!
- knightmare, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2super cool...if i saw that tripping i would freak out....or a quick glance would make it appear real...the angels flying aorund....would def creep me out it i saw it fast driving by or something
- potifer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Meh, only thing I saw that impressed me was the opening/closing doors & windows thing.
- Stockwell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Wouldn't be amazed if they used a digital projector or 4 supplied by Barco (Media & Entertainment division) - Belgian company woehoe!

(I'm not into shameless self-promotion - but this site shows the kind of job of I do...)
Dugg for nicety - mikeyaj86, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Agreed, not the same .... AT ALL !!
- CrackHappy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Damn skippy...
- theRIAA, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1IS this that building i was in the olymips????
i just saw it when it was blue - Initram5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0In Budapest, Hungary there is also a similar thing. Very cool!
- jguerry, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1i like the clouds rolling across the building and the sun...
i wish there was a pro-stationary shot video that i could download.
i'd make that my screensaver. - intoflatlines, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1lawl
- sapo916, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Damn, only a CAM release... im waiting for a screener.
- imightbewrong, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2its really cool but its a shame the video is such lame quality
- Gills, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1
- slack31337, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5That is the coolest french thing evar :) ...... retreats ........like the french ...... aw damn .... ducks :P
- jdgivens, on 10/12/2007, -10/+6pretty sweet. I did that at my fraternity house and we watch a movie on the side of the house in the volleyball court with 5.1 surround sound. It was sweet
- Jaxor, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2Pretty good. Interesting concept.
Does anyone know if the residents/people in the building knew what happening? I would have been freaked out to see this going on without prior notice. lol
Did the intro and ending have to be there?
+Dig Overall. - giid, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0anyone have a mirror of the youtube link? youtube is always so skippy as to be unwatchable for me.
