Content Development - Software

In order to make a montage, video or animated visuals that needed to be projected on the stage, I would consider to use the following applications or software:

Video, animation and editing
*Adobe Flash
*Adobe After Effects
*VDMX 5

Photo, illustrative art and digital drawing editing
*Adobe Photoshop
*Adobe Illustrator

Projection Mapping editing
*MadMapper

The MadMapper provides a simple and easy tool for mapping projections. It removes a lot of the confusion related to this medium, effectively demystifying the process, allowing you, the artist or designer to focus on creating your content, and making the experience of mapping textures to physical objects in real time. http://www.madmapper.com/

Sample of effect for the projection tried in After Effects.

I use Particle World effect which changes the shape to lens fade and the color to 4-Color Gradient. I use Particle World effect which changes the shape to cube in color of sun. The duration of this effect is 30 seconds. There will be stop motion every five seconds to follow the beat.

Particle of Lens Fade

Using Adobe Premier Pro, a 30 second effect apply on the dance video. I have use alpha in 30% to appears the effect at the video. 

Content Development

Bharata Natyam is religious significance. The traditional obeisance to God is always observed by the dancer. Bharata Natyam is a classical Indian dance usually accompanied by the classical music. I have collected Bharata Natyam dance movement and poses.
