Leitmotif is the story of the last lonely member of a jazz band, only living through his music and the daily visits of a white cat. One day the nostalgia takes over — and he has a crazy idea.

To continue with the theme of Projection Mapping this weekend we have a couple videos. (think of it as combining your regular sunday post with an unnamed rogue video post)
I came across Amon Tobin some time back while listening to the likes of Nero and Alien Project and now have a few of his albums. (one of them in my car cd-changer at the moment) When I came across these films while learning more about projection mapping I was blown away.
Along with the release of his ISAM album (Invented Sounds Applied to Music) came an incredible stage show that is as intricate, tight, and heavy as the music itself.
The first video is Mr Tobin’s show at Moogfest 2011 and the second is a short documentary about what goes into the ISAM: Live show.
I recently watched a deadmau5 concert. On Netflix, of course – as much as I’d like to attend a live show, my age and hair would make me stand out like a violin at a guitar festival. Besides, standing in the middle of a huge, jostling, crowd just isn’t a good time to me.
Anyways, what was notable, besides the most excellent tuneage, was the light show, or rather, the ‘projection mapping’. Basically, the idea is projecting video onto 3D objects such as buildings or stage sets.
While this is actually kind of an advertisement for a cellular phone, it’s an incredible, large scale, example of projection mapping.
Each of the 120 metre high building’s 800 windows were covered with vinyl as 16 powerful projectors, stationed 300 metres away on the other side of the river, beamed 3D images onto the structure.
