Dialogues At The Turning Point
Teaser Campaign, 2023
"Dialogues at the Turning Point" is a video teaser series tailored for social media, celebrating the 10th Edition of the Buffer Fringe Festival with the theme "Turning Point." These videos are shot as the part of an intensive three-day collaboration at the PERA - School of Performing Arts - studios, further refined with conceptual touches with tools such as Blender, Max/Msp, and Visual Studio Code.
Collaborative team includes Ana (Performing Artist), Ecem (Documentary Director), Memo (Performing Artist), and Ozan (Visual Artist and Editor), who united to capture transformative moments. Following a review with the Buffer Fringe Team, Ozan Tezvaran enriched the chosen segments using his technological experiments.
Dialogues at the Turning Point
The video implements a React application that utilizes TensorFlow's PoseNet model to analyze and visualize body angles from a video, then compares these angles to pre-defined target angles to determine and highlight the main turning point of the body. When a main turning point in the user's pose changes, colored squares are added to the canvas, where each color corresponds to a specific body part.
