Interactive drawing

[Anders]

Hey guys, i just got booked to do a electronic event for kids, it will take place in the day time, so im planning on using plasma screens(led is too expencive here)


i was hoping to do something interactive in the likes of letting the kids do drawings and then scanning them, if you know of anyone who has done something like this i would love to see it and get some inspiration

There was an installation at Ars Electronica in... about 2008 (?.. yegads, seems long ago now that I was there) that encouraged people to draw things with textas then put them in the special/magic photocopier... your drawings were then animated on a screen.

I don't of course know/remember who that was, but it's definitely been done, so you should be able to find someone who has done it.

Try using modul8 and the painter module, you can set frames as you draw by pressing space if I rmember correctly.

also alchemy is free software which allows you to draw 'live'.

I've used this and VDMX together as VDMX has the functionality to catch other application windows

Something I did with a very talented illustrator last year: Photoshop, tablet, th2g, qtz for the compositing.

Long time no see Anders, and I know this is probably too late. Just wanted to share something:

In 2009 I went to Esbjerg Music Conservatory and they setup and electronic music program for kids. One station involved 4 drawing tablets, each with their own sound. If you used the eraser on the other side of the pen, you would get another sound, so 8 sounds total with parameters changing on a x/y value. It worked basically as a midi controller. Maybe this could be something, just translated to video.
