Projection Mapping is a technique for manipulating video to create illusions of deconstruction and redefinition of physical shapes, by moving away from traditional flat projection surfaces. This workshop serves as a comprehensive introduction to methods for creating projection mapping for beginners. Students will learn how to make animation using Modul8, and how to map the three-dimensional surface using Madmapper.
