MAKING the MOVING IMAGE 

I attempted to create a digital work to be projected ontothisfulldome space, enveloping the observer with a poetic narrative in which images of surface, volume, depth and bodies emerged. 
As a result, my work consisted of two distinctive, yet inter-related, types of moving images: computer-generated animations and real footage of the bodies of contemporary dance performers. 

For the digital animation, I used software such as Maya and After Effects. I decided not to import any real footage, but use computer-generated images alone to create an entirely surreal experience, as if the viewers were immersed in a different dimension.  In making moving images, not only my concept but also the scale of the dome (20 metres in diameter and 13 metres in height) was critically important as it provided a completely different viewing experience. The dome was not only a surface for my projection but also a space that had depth and refraction. 
This was the biggest challenge for me because I was unable to fully estimate the distortion of the animation when it was projected onto the massive space. Therefore, I conducted many simulation and calculation procedures in an attempt to achieve my intended result. Thus, throughout the entire development process, the concept, narrative and design aspects of the moving images were inseparable from the environment into which they would be projected.
