Project 1 - Relaxing Jellyfish Projection

This was a group project and I collaborated with Krista Simandl, Estefani Flores-Ortiz, Elizabeth Stephens, and Joanna Zhu. The purpose of the project was to create a relaxing video and project it using VPT7 software. Many of the ideas we came up with were water themed. Estefani came up with the idea to use jellyfish and animated and modeled them. The movement of the jellyfish swimming creates a relaxing pulse.  The structure we used was created by Krista, and it represents a fish tank protruding from the wall.  Our group wanted another visual element to go along with the jellyfish. We came up with the idea of adding bubbles and Joanna created them in after effects. My job was to find appropriate music that fit the video and created a relaxing mood. I also took all the assets into after effects to create the video and rendered it. Elizabeth figured out how to get the bubbles to change colors and made them pulse along with the music that created a relaxing effect. We all worked together to get the final projection to match up correctly. The final result was enjoyed by our class and they found it relaxing when watching it.
