The Evolution of our 3D Background

The interface will feature a 3D animation playing behind the video clips to give it a more floating feel. Here's a look at how the concept for this animation has evolved over the last few months:

Version 4: May 2011

Version 3

Version 2

Version 1

Working on Final Video Sequence in Motion, and General Updates

Is it as complicated as it looks? Yes.

In other news, we had our Demo with all the lecturers of the department yesterday, where we had to present our progress 3 weeks ahead of the deadline. They seemed quite happy with the fact that we now have a fully functional application, with all video clips loading and unloading as needed. They also seemed impressed with the GUI and interactive hardware (we presented the video which was posted here on this blog earlier).

Most importantly for us at this stage, they seemed to be on board with our two main requests ahead of the exhibition; supplying us with a power-house Mac Pro with Flash CS5 installed, and also with our own room some distance from the centre of the exhibition. We await confirmation of either though, so stay posted.
