projection mapping on Manhattan Bridge stop motion animation video

Manhattan Bridge,suspension bridge over the East River connecting southeastern Manhattan with western Brooklyn in New York City.

The bridge first opened to traffic in 1909, eight years after construction started.

The bridge is newer than the Brooklyn Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge, the other two suspension bridges that span the East River, and often acts as an alternate route due to its proximity to the Brooklyn Bridge. The Manhattan Bridge, which is 6,855 feet (2,089 metres) long, consists of a double-deck motorway with four lanes on top and three lanes on the bottom that are designed to change direction when necessary to assist traffic flow. In addition to cars, the bridge carries four subway lines, a pedestrian lane, and a separate bikeway. Nearly 80,000 vehicles and more than 320,000 people use it (via public transportation) each day.

Construction began on the bridge in 1901 under the instruction of the New York City Department of Bridges commissioner Gustav Lindenthal and the chief engineer R.S. Buck. Just three years later, however, local politicking was responsible for the pair being replaced with George E. Best and Othniel Foster Nichols, respectively. The bridge design was based on deflection theory, a new concept at the time that was developed by Joseph Melan and applied to the bridge by the chief engineer Leon Moisseiff. This design saved in cost, material, and

construction time. The bridge was officially opened to traffic on Dec. 31, 1909. Renovations in 1940 revealed significant wear on the structure, with the subway trains partly responsible for the wear. Those trains, upon entering the bridge at the same time from opposite sides, would cause the bridge to shift up to 8 feet (approximately 2.5 metres). Additional renovations were undertaken in 1978. Since then the Manhattan Bridge has been featured in movies, has undergone regular repairs and retrofitting, and remains one of the most graceful bridges in New York City.

3D Video Projection mapping of architectural silhouette in Special effect

3D Video Projection Mapping

. is an astonishing projection technology that allows to create dynamic displays out of any surfaces. High Tech software is used to distort any projected image in order to fit perfectly the uneven shaped screens.This relatively new technique made people around the world incredibly creative and they started to illuminate buildings, architectural elements, 3d elements, statues or sometimes amazing projects used in advertising as those for the Pepsi Can or for running shoes.

Video mapping first gained notoriety through guerilla advertising campaigns and video jockeys for electronic musicians.These advertising campaigns commonly used mapping techniques to project interactive scenes onto the sides of buildings. Common techniques for these performances included both 3-D mapping techniques and 3D projection to create the illusion of depth. In the electronic dance music community, it is becoming increasingly common for VJs to accompany the music with synced visuals. Though normal projection screens are commonly used, some visual artists are beginning to create custom made, 3D installations to project onto.

After the object is chosen or created, a virtual replica of the entire physical set up needs to be created. A virtual model of the projection surface is created, and placed within a virtual environment. Coordinates need to be defined for where the object is placed in relation to the projector. Finally, the xyz orientation, position and lens specification of the projector are adding to the virtual scene.Adjustments are commonly needed by manually tweaking either the physical or virtual scene for best results.
