On Tuesday of the tenth week, we showed the demo to Andrew. Andrew suggested adding a transition between the human and dog perspectives, and mentioned using thermal imaging to show the smell.
On Wednesday we went to Calton Hill again to record additional video and sound materials. This time we used a shotgun microphone to record a single point sound source. We also went to the church to record bells to provide more sound effects for later sound design (Blog- Cathedral Recording).
In addition, we are also preparing to provide project easter eggs for the audience. When the audience walks along Calton Hill and reaches the end, they can use Max to perform real-time sound and picture conversion and experience the changes in the picture brought about by the sound on the spot. I think this will be very interesting.(Blog- Live Experience by MAX)
Coincidentally, there was also an exhibition on Calton Hill recently. After finishing the work, I visited the exhibition and found it quite inspiring. We’re planning to design a postcard for our project and have come up with a slogan:
“Walk the City Through a Dog’s Eyes, Hear the Adventure in Every Sound.”
We also included a brief overview of the project on the postcard and plan to imbed a QR code linking to the final roaming video. This way, even if someone doesn’t make it to Calton Hill in person, they can still experience the world through a dog’s eyes and enjoy the landscape of Calton Hill.
