Collaborative unit: week 07 – Film and Recording

In the seventh week, our focus shifted towards creating our artefact video by capturing the essence both from outside and inside of the MR experience.

Before embarking on the recording, I received valuable feedback from Manos regarding our project:

• The making-of video should include self-reflection about the project.
• It’s essential to reduce the artefact video’s duration (achievable by speeding up renders and cutting some MR demo footage).
• Exploring ways to blend plants with shadows on the background could enhance realism.
• Don’t forget to insert a voiceover.

Implementing these suggestions, we successfully completed our project.

For the filming session, we secured a multipurpose room, conducting a comprehensive scan for MR. Following the recording, we sought feedback from technicians at the Creative Technology Lab, receiving invaluable insights. Their feedback, coupled with some interview clips, enriched our making-of video. After concluding the indoor scenes, we moved to a park, lush with greenery, though flowers were sparse in early March. Nevertheless, we captured the beauty of the surroundings with a verdant backdrop and a few blossoms.

Our collaborative project is now on the verge of completion, and we look forward to showcasing the final result.
