- Live feed – although the live feed worked, the torches I had brought in was not as bright as I was hoping. As a result only one person could be scene and only if that person was right in front of the webcam. Another error that happened was the resolution of the camera got decreased. This was because the cable got damaged during set up.
2 Pre recorded footage- estimated I needed about 4 hours of set up time to get this project working , which I did not have time for. As a result all the pre-recorded footage was not calibrated to the dome screen and appeared in random locations on the dome. In fact all of the ghost footage appeared off of the dome screen making it non visible killing the effect. By not having the ghost effect I think it ruined allot of the effect I was trying to achieve with the audience. Along with the video not being calibrated the sound wasent calibrated eather and came out faor quitter than expected and as a result ment the audience could not hear everything that sam was saying.
3 Props- part of the actions the audience had to do was put their hand under the chair to see if they could find anything. This failed in every way possible due to 2 reasons the first was the raspberry pi at the back of the room creating snake sound effects was to quite and could not be heard by anyone which stopped the effect of making the audience think snaked where in the room. The other reason was I put the props under the chair so far back so they wouldn’t be scene but they were too far back. Meaning that the audience could not find anything underneath the chairs.
4 Lights- although technically the dmx lights where functioning on top of everything else going wrong I completely forgot about them being their meaning the audience did not exsrpince the mood change the lighting was meant to bring.
5 Other things that went wrong including my laptop corrupting 1 hour before the performance and being stuck in traffic dropping in the equipment making me arrive a hour and half later than I wanted to arrive.
With all of these errors I would make a few changes for the futer. I would try and simpler the project by only focusing on the the live video feed and manipulating that. And removing the other effects as I believe that would make a better project and would be much simpler to run.
