Our Findings are Inconclusive

What I Hope it Will Look Like and Some Explainations About Other Things

Howdy.
This is a poorly photoshoped image of what I hope my projection mapping project will look like (at some point in my animation.) I imagine the piece to take place sometime in the future (in a museum exhibit?) where humans will look back at history of the Apollo Lunar missions. BUT! instead of an "accurate" retelling, the truth becomes befuddled with images of science fiction where distinctions between reality and media images is blurred.

Many believe the NASA moon landings to be a hoax, with many conspiracy theorist citing the footage of the Apollo missions as evidence.

It looks like a movie set! 
Where are the stars?
Why is the flag waving when there's no wind?

etc. & etc.

(So they say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing_conspiracy_theories)

These claims (and many more) have been debunked by NASA and outside organizations, and yet what I find interesting is that the only information the public receives of the moon landings is through a type of media (video/photography) that is in itself steeped in questions over its objectiveness. Both sides claim truth in the footage but of different truths. Unless seen from first-hand experience, all that is filtered through the lens of the media is subjected to some level of manipulation, whether it be news footage, of film. The only difference is how much.

3D projection mapping examples (Must---resist---crumbling---buildings)

After watching sooo many crumbling buildings, here are some examples of 3D projection mapping that I thought used the space really well.

Please accuse terrible concept and lack of match moving.

Ajoined Bodies (part II)

Now titled All Together Now.

At the last minute, I made changes to the color and the design of the "structure." I felt that it needed a more geometric look over and the refined look in the smoothness of the joints (triangles?). Looked too much like candy.  

Ajoined Bodies (part I)

Here's a render of a "structure" for my current animation project. Everything is on pretty much the same plane but it's okay because I might have to rig the thing(?)

Yes, I have rudimentary knowledge of physics, but I want to try to mimic the feeling of a kinetic sculpture with this structure in that the movements of one "limb" might influence the movements of another.

Unfortunately, it seems that my structure won't be as elaborate as these beauties:

George Rhoads, Odyssey of the Spheres (2009)

Arthur Ganson, Machine with Cat Whiskers (2008)

Smooth Moves, Two-Legs

A quickie animation. For now, it would appear I can only animate graceless movements. Perhaps time will tell.
