End of Semester Plan

As I have repeatedly discussed with classmates and Nica, I would like to use the rest of the time in ExCap to explore slit scanning. I have already experimented with the technique, as seen in one of my previous posts. Since I cannot work with Julie, though, I plan to make this into a project about myself and my thoughts during quarantine. I think I will end up with a series of self portraits, via compositions of objects and ideas important to me, and perhaps parts of my body. I will continue to experiment with the limits of the technique and my capture apparatus, and I’ll share the best results.

I do have a few specific goals:

  • Hook up my DSLR to my laptop so I can run a Processing script with a higher resolution webcam
  • Automate my rotation mechanism with Arduino stuff
  • Try out this After Effects technique
  • Attempt to do slit-scanned photogrammetry
