the scene in tartuffe will be only a huge elastic band screen. the projection has to be a environment description. the actors will cross the curtain in defined position to create the illusion of enter or exit a door. live, prerec and 3d graphics will be used to create the scene.

right now I'm testing two software for the setup. the choice will be between isadora and vvvv.

preproduction

in this phase I'm creating some "idea modules" to use during the rehearsals. based on the combination of live and prerec the modules will define the timelani and workflow of the final programming project. the use of a graphical programming environment helps to create patches for the various modules implemented during the creation process.

3d environment & editing

the projection will have live camera video, prerecorded video and 3d environment mixed with the prerecorded and the live video feed. to create the 3d environments I tested some software and eventually use the DAZ3D studio 4. Studio 4 let me change the views and the POV of the cameras in a very fast and useful way for my purposes and the easy way to modify the environmental elements of the scene is the reason why I choosed this software. the rendering will be in a first moment a preview rendering then a final rendering just before the premiere. The compositing will be done with After effects and the editing in Premiere Pro but the whole Production Premium Creative suite will be used.

stay tuned on #tartuffeSSG
