SAFETY WARNING (Welcome to the Spiceship)
SAFETY WARNING (Welcome to the Spiceship) is an experimental fashion film project using interactive video visual processing built with computer vision techniques during the filming process to explore a new way of fashion presentation/performance, which transforms the camera from a documenting recorder to a live narrative editor.
Edited fashion film for designer demonstration at Central Saint Martins BA Fashion Show 2019: In Pictures
Full Livestream of the shooting on May 3rd 2019 (2 hours)
The Project presents 6 looks from the textile designer Jojo Ruiji Zhou’s diploma collection. There are 4 categories of narratives (interactive video processing design) for every look. And to experiment on an ambiguous nature in between film and performance, there are 2 presenting forms for this project. One is an online live stream, which presents the complete process of this fashion presentation, including makeup, styling, the actual performing, and some inspired visual elements from the designer’s collection research - This online live stream is a hybridisation between performance and documentation. And the other form is an after-edited film, edited with the recorded footages of the interactive performance process.
