Projection

I know I would like to use projection of some sort. To begin with, I started my research with projection on to the body and found a couple of videos that appealed in some ways.

 

(Roura, 2017)

The light that gradually fills up the torso upwards (1:24-1:38mins) is something that I can see working for the entire body. The light filling up the body would signify the warming up of the body for exercise. This projection could be instead of using glow in the dark paint as I believe I do not have access to UV lighting.

The little dot of light moving at 8:50 mins is not something that I want to use however, it did spark the idea of having dots of white light falling projected on to the space. The idea seems almost dreamy to me, it would let an audience know that the state is changing and that they are entering an abstract world.

I searched You Tube for some falling light, focusing on space and the universe as a search because supernovas appeared on my mind map I did as a starter exercise so I wanted to add some colour to the falling light. Here are some of the videos I found which are contenders:

I will have to wait until I have use of a projector in the studio that I am performing in before I know which video would work best projected on to me and the black curtain that will be behind me. I feel like the red or the gold one would probably be two of the best choices as there wouldn’t be a harsh line where you can see where the projection ends as the backgrounds for these are very dark.
