Welcome

Hello and Welcome to the development blog of "Group 1" from the 2010 Interactive Technology 2 Group of CMT at the University of Hull, Scarborough Campus - focusing on Trade Charms as part of our exhibit on "Charms of the Sea" to be on display soon at the Rotunda Museum in Scarborough, United Kingdom.

Update - John Maguire

So with the design under way I have the basis of our 2 interactive screens as well as a large image of a cart which will be resized to fit in with the size of our environment.

 Screen 2 (game)
Cart

Screen 1 (Market table)

I have yet to apply filters to keep all screens conformed to each other. I plan to update these over the weekend and finally fill up the empty space in screen 1 as it needs to have sides added, all attempts so far have looked tacky, maybe a material curtain around the edges? 

I have also made a start on the charms themselves removing the background, Although the material that was placed under the charms have made it awkward thou in time they should look cleanly cut.



Just tested a charm video around 10 seconds long and its rendered fine at 1280x720 but file sizes are huge! 800mb using .avi so I've started to try Quick time movie format which has decreased file sizes a lot, even on the lowest setting in Adobe After Effects (using Quick time) its rendering at 180mb hopefully ill have this sorted soon!

  1. Hi John,

    Shaping up. Good!

    Try using Quicktime and Photo Jpeg compression. This is the best for using with Jitter.
