You Music Video (uMV)

Description

• Motivation

I've had interest in rotoscoping and animation in videos and dance for a while - and I'm interesting in mixing them, live.

• Interactive paradigm

As the person dances/moves, animation or other features will react to their movement, enhancing it on video, and basically creating a music video on the spot.

• Technical Description

The person would be caught and tracked on camera, and we could use frame differencing to track the magnitude of his or her movements and the pre-coded/drawn animations would react accordingly. Background images can be added and changed over time to improve the effect.
