Over the course of three and a half hours, we shot over 80 clips. A key part of the project was to build a portrait rig that would allow the subject to register her face at the beginning of every clip. The first prototype of this rig consisted of a two way mirror that had registration marks on it. The mirror prototype proved to be inaccurate.<\/p>\n<p>The second prototype, which we used for the shoot, relied on a direct video feed from the video camera, a projector and a projection surface with a hole cut out for the camera to look through.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/79223863?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the center of this rig was a max\/msp\/jitter patch that overlayed a live feed from the video camera on top of a still &#8220;register image&#8221;. This way, the subject was able to see her face as the camera saw it, and line up her eyes, nose, mouth and makeup with a constant still image.
