Hi Guys,
So i'm looking to get into this field. I'm a long time A/V video guy and am extremely proficient in most of the CS5 production library.
I have two questions:
1) If I go the route of taking a "still " picture of the object I want to manipulate how do I find out what kind of lens is comperable to the projector? most of the projectors I work with are 1.2-1.8 or 1.5-2.0 type lenses, but for stills the numbers are a little different aren't they (not a dslr guys at all).
2) settling up the projector, and taking the picture is all well and good I guess, but how on earth is it possible to do that for enormus buildings using multiple projectors? My first guess would be they don't do something like that, they'd use a CAD of the items they are going to project on and animate that...
if the CAD part is true, what CAD program do you guys normally do? and how do you draw a cad of a huge building when you don't know the measurements? I'd imagine you'd pull the architectual diagrams?
Thanks for the info! I just want to make sure i'm stepping into this right! I'd imagine the larger-type stuff is further down the road, but would be nice to know. I know vectorworks as a CAD program, but that's it. I supposed I can pull out sketchup or whatever people use.
