IDAT209 - Stonehouse - 2nd Projection idea


Well once our first projection idea was deemed to be impossible at the moment we set about thinking of a new idea.

This time though, we could start the idea, by thinking of where in the Stonehouse area it's possible to do a decent projection.

My answer to this was the Royal William Yard. The main reason was that most of the buildings in there are offices, this means at night time the yard should be pretty clear. The other reason for this area is that even though there is a road running through it, this road isn't busy during the day at all so should be dead at night time.

The next bit to come up with was what our actual idea for this area. Since day one of this module ive been quite interested with the fact that this area has never really been used to it's full capability. So i started to think, what if?

What if the cooperage, brewery and bakery were used all the time to supply the ships with food & drink.

This thinking has led me to the idea of recreating some of the iconic things around this area. For example, on one of the buildings you would see something that looked like a shadow of a large ship sailing past.

To develop this idea further i thought it would be quite cool for the projection to act like a huge x-ray machine, so when the projector was on, it would show people inside the bakery for example baking bread.

Hopefully Shaun likes this idea and i can start putting it together.
