Our first week after quarters, we took a little time to recoup. We got quite some valuable feedback from the quarters, something we as a team had to pore over and address some of the issues raised. We revisited the storyboard and the our visual concepts and tried to figure out how to move ahead from the prototype that we had.
Our art team began making solid concepts for the visuals that we will be seeing on screen. While the artwork is something that will constantly be evolving, it was a good place for the tech team to start from.

The other major deliverable we had from the ETC standpoint was our project’s website. While part of the programming team concentrated on researching and trying out new mechanisms that we could use for our performances, Victor, along with Nayoung and Christina, set to work on the project website. A perfect marriage of tech and art, the website came together by the end of the week.

Christina and Nayoung also together and began work on the virtual instrument design for our visualization. Christina shared her musical expertise and guided Nayoung about the intricacies of each woodwind instrument, mentioning which key on the instrument would be used. This will help Nayoung in creating the virtual instrument concepts by early next week.
We got cracking on getting our equipment. We identified all the sound equipment we would require and started requesting for them to be purchased. We also requested for a dedicated system that could support 5 screens, thus allowing us to simulate our eventual system for the final performance. This would also allow the tech team to begin testing input from multiple instruments and output to multiple screens from the same system. By the end of the week, our brand new equipment arrived. This sets us up for the next week, when we can start tech testing in full flow. Looking forward to moving forward strong in the coming weeks.
