Video Mapping?

We all know the video projections that VJ's do during concerts and in clubs on big screens. Most of the time this is just on a rectangle white screen where they show their visuals that supports the music or act. With some software it is possible to use more video samples at the same time and place them at different positions within the projection area of the beamer. This is called mapping. You draw a map of where you are going to project on and place the video in it. You can also project on a building or object and use the mapping to define exactly where on the object you want to project a specific video.

Here are two examples of video mapping that inspired me. One is an abstract sculpture with video projected on it by Pablo Valbuena. I think it's to abstract for what I want to do but still a very beautiful peace. I think it's beautiful how he creates suggestion and get so much out of such a simple object.



The second example I want to show you is from easyweb.fr. This is a company in Lyon that has created their own software to make more advanced mappings. I thought that their level of creativity was not very impressive, however they are very good in using the map to it's full potential.
