This film shows the creative potential of projection mapping in organic environments.<\/h2>\n

Most video producers and filmmakers are accustomed\u00a0to having their finished work projected on a flat screen, but have you ever seen footage projected on organic surfaces<\/strong>? That\u2019s exactly what Friedrich van Schoor<\/a> and\u00a0Tarek Mawad<\/a> did in their art film Projections in the Forest<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Instead of using a traditional projection mapping surface like a screen,\u00a0building<\/a> or wedding cake<\/a>, the artists decided to use the rugged and organic surfaces found in the forest, from mushrooms to spiderwebs. The result is an avatar-like image that can only be described as amazing.<\/p>\n

\"Projection<\/p>\n

The film was inspired by a natural phenomenon known as bioluminescence<\/a>, the emission of light by a living organism. The filmmakers took careful considerations when projecting their video on the forest to play off the natural beauty and shape of the objects in nature, rather than simply project a square image on them.<\/p>\n
