Synopsis

The digital art piece "Anatema" is created using Doug, a 72-year-old retired sixth-form teacher with a PhD in Physics, who is closely scanned by the Kinect 3D sensor to capture the fascinating tattoos that cover his athletic body. With a wisdom that only comes with age, he represents a community that challenges stereotypes and social conventions. The images that make up the project are captured by the Kinect sensor using the Processing 3.0 programme; they are then compiled in After Effects, before finally being edited in Premiere to control the speed and layers. No post-production effects or filters were used to generate the visual elements; only luminance keying and traditional editing methods were employed.
