Japanese Family Crests

As I mentioned in my last post, I had gotten a lot of stuff on my trip to Japan. I particularly liked this small book I got that is filled with thousands of family crests from Japan. The crests are each really great highly-designed symbols. For a while I have wanted to animate these, to show many of them at once and to show the visual differences between each of them. So for the Tuesday project, I captured the images of a couple hundred of these, aligned and cleaned up the photos, and then animated them as a series. Also, I wanted to project them in a space to give them more presence and texture. A still of the projection is below. A link to the video of the various projections is also below.
