Jess Medenbach – Looking Outwards 7

“Clouds” is an interactive documentary that was made by the interactive film company Scatter. In this documentary, the filmmakers used a depth kit using a kinect to take video footage of their interview subjects. They used a video editing program on top of OpenFrameworks where they had multiple coders take each interview segment and manipulate it in any way they chose.
Rachel Binx took this information and then messed with the data points of the subjects, messing with the mesh of the points as well tweaking the color.
What I think is interesting about this project is that they are attempting to take the form of documentary film and bringing it a step further into VR. They are also making more room for the coders using the footage to express the information in a more artistic way and play within the medium of media and interactive art. http://rachelbinx.com/CLOUDS-Interactive-Documentary
