We had a meeting with Jessica, Adam and Randy the other day to brainstorm about the project, review what could be improved, and discuss new ideas and concepts.
We considered and rejected the idea of moving the main projection surface to face the street. But we retained the idea of expanding the Festival area to include the portion of 10th avenue facing the Alys Stevens Center, since the Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts will be opened by then and will be a wonderful backdrop and potential projection surface. This would require asking the city to close the street to traffic and turn off more street lights. That would also expand the Festival Area considerably.
We also floated the idea of renting the Red Cross dome for projection and silent disco.
I proposed doing as much of the show as possible in 3D, which has not been done yet as far as I know for architectural projection.
I also proposed a ground projection inspired by a show done in Belgium called "Fiere Margriet". This show was in 2D and gave a great illusion of depth. I would like to push it even further and do it in 3D. I suppose it really could be done anywhere on the grounds of the Festival if we either use a light colored concrete area, or lay down a piece of fabric and set up my 5K projector on a tall pole directly above the middle of one of the long sides, as long as we somehow restrain the viewing public to one narrow end of the rectangle:
I have done a very preliminary tentative layout on a Google Map:
