This screen capture walkthrough explains the roughly one hour process of mapping a dalang (puppeteered) light scene built with the Lightform LF2 during home quarantine, created for health care workers who walk past these windows every day on their way to the hospital nearby. This scene was then remapped nightly for a series of nightly puppet shows for the public.

The Wayang (wooden hand/rod puppets from Indonesia) and other elements are projection mapped in the Lightform using a structured light scanning process over a period of a few minutes. Screen captures in the Lightform Creator show how these scenes are built and layered over the course of designing this first puppet short story.

The short was made in honor of Ryan Geist Bozajian - thank you brother
