Today we had a group tutorial with Phil, the group was split down into smaller groups as it was in the small room downstairs and that it got the other guys involved more.
I started off explaining what I have been researching about on my blog and what I still need to research on. Some of the things talked about where:
- Ordnance Survey maps with having extra content and more detail than other maps, like contours etc…
- Flickr photo sharing site
- Google liquid galaxy, video below
- A-Z maps of London
- Video floor plans of buildings
- Time lapse video’s
- CCTV
- iPod application like a periscope
One of the other things that was talked about was one of my early ideas, fictional maps and drawing them. One point put forward was building a 3D map in After Effects of either fictional or real locations with photos or drawing them from scratch. There was also talk of post cards but in video form, key locations like Bournemouth gardens. An idea on how to do this was maybe go up in the Bournemouth balloon to get an aerial view, just a possibility.
After the tutorial I think I might begin to look into drawing my own real location maps and integrating them into the video post card idea, that sounds like a good route to go down. I now need to look into what already exists in the video post card route.
