After discussing my project with one of my tutors, I was made aware of some of the problems that could arise with my initial idea. Firstly, if I was going to be projection mapping onto the house directly I would need to look at hiring a powerful projector which could cost a great deal of money. In addition, I would also have the issue of possible bad weather conditions and how I would ensure the safety of both myself and the electrical equipment. Moreover, as I would be projecting from outside the house, I would need to think about the health and safety of others and how I would tackle insurance.
In order to appease these growing concerns, I decided to alter my original idea slightly and look at scaling down my project. As an alternative, I decided that I would projection map from inside my private property onto the front bay window, to create a fun and entertaining window display. By doing this, I am able to focus my attention to the development and narrative of the content which I will create. Using a combination of motion graphics, animation and music, I will create some short sequences to play on loop for passers by outside to enjoy. At this moment in time I am looking more towards 2D animation however, I will nonetheless experiment a little with 3D animation to assess whether or not I think this would be better suited for my project.
