EYE CANDY

Just awesome. 

Can someone please explain the how behind all this. Like what technology and techniques and equipment is being used. 

its done with projectors 

Its like watching fire works. 

that was way more enjoyable than i thought it would be 

in the US this would be used almost solely for advertising 

You must have missed the "Joy Is BMW" wall in Asia. 

Wasn't this pioneered by that guy with his crazy Christmas house? 

how can they project? 

I was thinking something completely different from the title and description.

Wouldn't it be cool if some building was constructed in such a way that over the course of the day, as sunlight passed through different facets of the building, crazy projections appeared inside/outside the building? And over time the projections would change color and shape.

Actually, I think I've seen that somewhere, but I was hoping this link would have more crazy stuff like that.

Anyway, these are pretty awesome as well. 

I don't really get the cool. My screen saver does the same thing. 

IMO, the Texas one was the best one.

The rest of them were just like movie projections on a wall, the Texas one put the building's construction into consideration and really did wonders for it.

The first one had some of the same qualities but whoever decided to record it thought dramatic camera angles and zooming in and out were necessary to the enjoyment of the scene. They were wrong. 

i want to see this in person

As much as I agree with the sentiment, there were only two camera angles - a close up and a wide shot. The editor mixed between the two of them at regular intervals for a regular amount of time.

It was giving the overall picture every few seconds, then getting back to the detail which everyone wants.

Fuckin' magnets and miracles, what else?

Kind of agree...the 555 Kubik piece did a good job of that too, I thought.
Even when the projections were obviously location-dependent for scale and such, they just kind of didn't have the same effect as watching the building itself move and play.

Oh, and the first one was created by a video artist, sooo.... :D 

You know who could do something really great with this?

Vegas.

Imagine the Bellagio fountains with this going on in the background on the building. 

This is why Germany is cooler than us. They pay artists to create this stuff, we have an overwhelmingly large military. Totally useful.

Rather them create electronic music and art than panzer tanks 

How do they give these things a 'rehearsal run' without giving away the surprise?

maybe they built a scale model and ran it with a home projector?
maybe they did it in daylight and had special glasses that only let them see it?
maybe they just assumed it would work

maybe i dont care 

You cared enough to put thought into a reply. 

Cheaper drugs now! 

how can they project?

From what I understand, they have to learn to sing from their diaphragm to hit the back row...
