The Filled-Wall Theorem
Since the exhibit that I choose heavily features poster-esque artworks, I figured I could play into that and looked at the zoom background area as a wall filled with posters.
01.Static Direction
The layout of this direction is arranged so that there is a significant focus on the posters themselves.
The arrangement of components is up to the creator and also the amount and orientation of the images. I created my version with Photoshop. My version also consisted of 4 vertical images, and it worked effectively by giving focus to 2 main posters.
The viewer could admire the posters, but the lack of text description makes the poster unsearchable. Here is the zoom bg I created.
Directions
1. Find the images you want to show
2. Arrange them accordingly and in a way that gives focus to at least one of the images
02.Video Direction
Since the static direction lacked information, I thought I could relay the description through the video direction instead.
To create this direction, bring the images individually into After Effects and play with the images' opacity. When an image is focused on (100% opacity), there should be accompanying information appearing on the screen's top center. When moving to other photos, the current image should have a reduced opacity, and the description should disappear.
The video direction is a better extension of the static one as it allows the image's description to exist.
1. Bring the images individually into After Effects
2. Add the text description on the top center
3. Play with the timing and opacity effect of each image
03.AR Direction
For the filter, I wanted to give focus on the images and thought it could be interesting to hide the user’s face altogether with the pictures. The idea would also change when your mouth is opened.
To do this direction:
1. Start with the Behavior template.
2. Replace the Image Object of the Head Binding effects with the desired images.
3. Edit the Script under Face Interactions and change the Trigger and Event Type, and also the Items,value into your image names.
Editing the trigger and event type allows you to choose what action will change the image.
I think this direction will allow more appreciation towards the images and less on the information about them. Here is the behind the scenes, the result and the QR code and link to the filter.
1. Start from the Behavior template
2. Replace the images in the Image Objects under Face Replacements
3. Go to the Behavior Example Scene and find Face Interaction file
4. Click the script file, then change the Trigger and Event Type based on preferences
