Video projection mapping is the basic foundation of video art. Projection mapping is the correction of an image for the surface it is projected on. This might be a simple keystone correction or a complex adaption for architecture using 3D-scans and specialised software.

That being said: It's not the art itself. Videomapping is just how you project your content. In this "sort of" tutorial I show You some types of mapping and how to do them.
This is more of a behind the scenes than a tutorial to 3D projection mapping.
Don't get stuck in technical mapping, instead go out there, create great content and amaze Your audience with a story!



If You like this projection mapping tutorial then maybe look at the rest of this channel. This channel is all about projections for stage, projections for theatre and projections for video installations.
And if Your area of activity are clubs and events then drop me a line. I will try to do more tutorials for VJs or people who like to use projections in different Ambiente.
