Janelle, and Connor :
Can you please prep hi res videos for us? —>
I’d to beam two different "naturalistic" videos on the floor (as well as a vertical surface like the one that I hope Megan (Pete) will be able to hang).
(1) The first one is natural terrain: the Ohio river with flowing river texture clipped to the sinuous contour of the map. Let’s try to make it as high res as possible.
(2) The second is urban patterns, from overhead POV:
Here are some examples — but find better ones if you can.
2.1 Chicago aerial view day (daylight PREFERRED ) http://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-4247351-stock-footage-aerial-sunset-cityscape-view-chicago-skyline-chicago-illinois-usa-shot-on-red-epic.html?src=recommended/4246655:8
2.2 Chicago aerial view night http://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-4246655-stock-footage-aerial-vertical-illuminated-night-view-chicago-river-trump-tower-downtown-skyscrapers-chicago.html&download_comp=1
2.3 An absolute classic! The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces: by William H. Whyte The Vimeo is poor quality — we should get a high res archival version maybe w Library help?!
Pay special attention to the first 90 seconds and 6:52-11:10. https://vimeo.com/111488563
Fascinating observations.
Notice that Ozone:Urban aims to to present not abstract or gods’ eye view but the lived experience e.g. 10:02 - 10:28 So we can switch fluidly between Data view — vector fields God’s eye view — overhead video (Chicago from airplane) Live POV — project city walk (like a better quality version of Whyte 10:02 - 10:28) onto vertical screen suspended from grid.
Don’t worry about watermarks — let’s just grab highest res we can and project on the floor to try it out.
Cheers! Xin Wei
PS I will ask the Ozone core team to check in on Monday 4:30 in iStage - those who can come. At minimum I’d like to project a variety of videos on the floor, and on the walls.
