About this Event
Learn how to integrate 3D elements into live-action footage using Blender, an open source 3D computer graphics application.
Experience Level: Beginner
Video tracking is a useful tool for superimposing 3D graphics, such as titles, structures, and characters, onto video footage. In this three-hour workshop, participants will shoot a scene and import the video content into Blender. Participants will then learn how to track camera movement, and generate content that seamlessly blends into the composition.
Participants will need a camera or a smartphone to record footage, a laptop, a scroll-wheel mouse and a free download Blender (v 5.1).
Ed Video has a limited amount of laptops available for members to use during the workshop. Please indicate on the registration form if you wish to use one.
Please email workshops@edvideo.org with any questions and/or accessibility concerns.
About the Instructor
Jenn E Norton is an artist who uses time-based media to create immersive, experiential installations featuring stereoscopic, interactive video, animation, augmented reality, geolocative sound, and kinetic sculpture. Often using video as a starting point in her process, her imaginative compositions employ a combination of pre-cinema and contemporary display technologies while exploring the blurring boundaries between the virtual and the physical realms. Norton’s recent animations and augmented reality apps draw on her interest in how information is exchanged among humans, technology, and plants. Current research areas within Norton’s practice explore the use of metaphor in physics as a conceptual genesis, a communicative device, a poetic practice, and a demonstrative application of technological and natural phenomena. Norton has shown her work nationally and internationally, with recent exhibitions at Nuit Blanche (2022, Toronto), Platforms (Athens), and the Art and Media Lab (Kingston). She holds a Ph.D. in Visual Arts from York University and is an Assistant Professor in Film + Media at Queen’s University.
