holey holographic hydras!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist the alliteration.
My brother just sent me this youtube viddy today. It looks A LOT like my blot no. 12 + friends (even the coloring is similar). I hadn’t seen this when I was making my monster friends, so it’s just a weird (but cool) coincidence. This catwalk is worth checking out—the visuals are stunning.
Barcelona animation studio Devin + Danish multimedia production agency Vizoo created these animated projections for Diesel’s catwalk. They explain a bit of the process:
“The visuals are projected through a series of ‘foils’ into mid air, so you see the images in mid-air. The models can then interact with them and walk through them. We used plastic foils placed at 45-degree angles so that the projected light from the ceiling goes onto a foil, is reflected on to another and then into the air.
We worked it so it had a real catwalk feel and so that you could view it from both sides: You can see the models, the holograms and the public from both sides. It’s never been used this way before as the technology has just been used in the corporate world before, for sales presentations, and the visuals have always just been viewed from one side. So we set up two rigs instead.”
