Roly Poly Spinning - Filmed From Further Distance

When I was playing with it I found it interesting how it distorted its reflective objects when I bended it. Even a tiny change of the angle resulted in very strong effects. I filmed Christina and Kindro bending the mirror paper placed under their chins and projected the videos onto the mirror paper. It turned out really blurry as the footages were reflected by the mirror, so I changed the surface to a plain black paper while creating a space with the mirror paper underneath along with two other mirror papers standing on the sides. It was like a kaleidoscpe. I also put a bottle in the middle of the space, creating a really cool 3D effect when different facial features moved onto the object.

Content could hardly be seen due to heavily reflective material.

Projection On Red Chairs

I projected it onto the chairs in the canteen in a huge scale. There were about 50 chairs, breaking the video of various facial features in too little pieces. 

Projection On An Orange

I projected my video on to an orange. It was really cool to see its scale being minimised and looking very delicate and almost creepy, like a evil pumpkin. 

Projection On Clothes

 I projected it onto my beige jacket and had Hanna wear it. The effect turned out to be visually good as different parts of the faces were turned into different shapes of her clothes and body. 

Printed Screenshot In a Roly Poly Ball

I printed out three screenshot from the video in A3 before placing them in a transparent ball-shaped container. I then turned it upside down and realised that it could actually work as a roly poly doll as I pushed it. What's interesting is that when I pushed or spin the container, it looked as if the images were responding to it by squeezing the face.

Projection On a Pile of Papers

 I projected my video onto a pile of paper that was in a shape of cube. It looked as if it was in an office, giving it a bit of digital era and futuristic vibes.
