Mozaic Magic!The Effect (Summary)A person is walking along a sidewalk on campus (or perhaps elsewhere) as a sad song plays in the background. The person is a mozaic composed of many video clips. During certain verses of the song, there will be a zoom-in to a particular video clip of what the verse just described. Following each zoom-in, the shot will zoom back out as the person continues to walk.What is the input?Many small video clips of mostly random (but not completely–some clips correspond to the lyrics of the song) events. Also, the main, longer clip of a person walking along a sidewalk.What is the output?A mozaically-composed person walking through a scene where everything else around him is regular footage.How many layers? what?Basically, it should only be one layer–that of regular footage. The different clips will be used to compose the person but this should not be another layer. We are leaving open the possibility of having another layer if we use green screen footage.Storyline/board    Who will do whatRyan L: Filming, Lighting, Editing, CodingRyan S: Choreography, Storyboard, Editing, Coding Antonio: Acting, Editing, Coding Proposed TimelineMarch 14: Intial footage; planning completed; Coding beginsMarch 15: Mid-term Report March 28: Coding continues (mozaic blending); testing and integration begins March 29: In-class Update April 5: In-class Update April 12: In-class Update April 14: Internal Screening April 18: Implement some change suggestions from internal screening April 25: Final Version April 28: External Screening Input

What has been donePretty much exactly where we wanted to be at this point.-We have a lot of footage -CVS Repository setup -Read over/found various documentaiton related to our porject. -Psuedo Code of our project http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~seekely/mosaic_psuedocode.txt Near Future
