Video tests and motion tracking.

We had a good working session last night and made progress on two specific fronts. The first, with some guidance from Chad Udell, was an investigation of Processing as a platform/application for motion tracking. Drew Browning also sent notes on PD/Gem and shared his camera info., as well. David Needham, Mike Watson, and NIck Carrington spent time with Processing last eve. and should have another prototype tracking four light sources that will be affixed to the Furies in the second half of the play. The plan is to build a real time graphics module that will augment the puppet performances in real time. I also worked on a sketch of a video element for the dream/horror sequences that built off of a still posted a couple of days ago. It is extremely gratifying to work on these bloody sequences, but am trying not to regurgitate every NiN video that I have watched in the past years.
