Here are the details on the two internships that I am working on this semester for my DIVA 300 class – the first being the Motion Capture Studio at Emily Carr University and the second being CODElab, a look into surveillance during the Olympics taking place here in Vancouver in 2010.

IDS Motion Capture Studio Internship
http://crossfitmocap.wordpress.com/
- blog setup to provide project info to participants and show progress
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=177700972600&ref=mf
- Facebook user group setup as well with video links on group wall
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Rick’s philosophy on learning is to be fluid and allow for creative freedom
- he did not want me helping with mundane tasks such as answering email
- seeing as how he has no set schedule, he wanted to have as much fun in the process
- on his own, he would calibrate the cameras by running back and forth = boring
- having me working with him, gives him a greater chance to explore new outcomes
- “If I have to do one more damn US Marine with a machine gun walk cycle again…”
- CrossFit coaches and athletes were brought together with artists for group meeting
- much easier to learn by bringing in and suiting up actors to have them perform
- ability to work with the performers and fine tune walk cycles or isolated movements
- unfortunately, we had a major software glitch which nixed our live MoCap filming
- Rick pulled up some pre-recorded footage to show multiple data captures instead

LEARNING OUTCOMES

- our first task was to get a video camera and go around Granville Island and record
- criteria asked for unique and creative locations in order to record people and events
- possible location of setting up a “Ministry of Mis-Information” at Granville Island info board
