One of the first things I wanted to research was other projection mappings, I quickly realised that the best mappings used high contrast and didn't have too much going on at any one time. It is also the abstract ones that caught my attention the most. For this reason I think that I might use some abstract imagery within my design.
Whilst doing this research I found an artist called Rebecca Smith. She runs Urban Projections, which showcases various mixed media experiences that she has created both by herself and with collaborators. I find her work engaging to watch. This is a trait I want my projection mapping to have. I want to be able to keep the viewer interested in what is going on. I think by using bright assets on a black background I will be able to catch the attention of the audience. Another thing that I wanted to look into was how to make a good storyboard. Although I had a rough idea as to what to put into my storyboard I wanted to look into this further. The above examples show some storyboards that I feel work well and others that I feel don't. One of the main things that I took away was that the most comprehensive storyboards have numbered shots, a brief description about what is going on in each scene and make some reference to the sounds / camera angles. The ones I thought didn't work well had little or no explanation of the scenes. Because of this different people may interpret them in different ways which could lead to the same storyboard producing multiple different stories. This is why I feel it is much better to include some information about each scene. One of the other things I picked up on was that the quality of the drawing doesn't have to affect the quality of the storyboard as long as the image is comprehensible and gives the right information about the scene in question.

The theme for this project is The Night Before Christmas. It will be based around the poem by Clement Clark. The first thing that I needed to do was to look at the lyrics. We have been asked to create a 30 second animation to be projected onto Eastbourne's Town Hall Tower. In this animation we need to depict and adventure or chase, involving three protagonists. Jane (10), Tim (8) and Santa.
