My Meeting:

This space is an alternative interpretation of my very first meeting (Atea) idea of Chance Meetings.

 It encourages the concept of chance meetings through the concept of synchronicity
(synchronicity noun; the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection) through the installation of a public walkway located at the Clyde Quay boat sheds.

The walkway is both practical and interactive with the ability for the public to project digital images of themselves, events and places from their past onto the metal reflective walls of the walkway while they use the space. Only the images of those who are inhabiting the space will be projected, once they leave so too will the images. If someone is walking through and sees an image of someone they know, an event they were also at etc, there is then the possibility they will meet the person from their past and experience a chance meeting.

Editing Drawings as a result of In Class Critique

Before:

It was suggested I increase the opacity of the book cover as it is quite dominant within the frame and obviously the walkway is off greater importance, with this critique I decided to remove the image altogether. The quote alone is enough to help communicate the concept of chance meetings and synchronicity. I also increased the opacity of the people inhabiting the space as it makes for a softer composition and the depth of the walkway behind can still be determined. It was also suggested that I continue the theme of water colour in association with the Clyde Quay/Oriental Parade location.

Improvement in CryEngine

The walkway is now actually visible and inhabitable.. yay!

Filming in CryEngine and Sketch Up Animation

I used FRAPS to film CryEngine and the animation feature in Sketch Up to film the inside of the walkway. There is an obvious quality and render difference between the two sources but as so far I have been unable to film a realistic view of the inside of the walkway inside CryEngine the combination is the best I have untill I hopefully solve my issues before submission.
