Lev Feels Fine Demo

0.1 Overview

Due Friday Sept 17.

PAGE 1

Ask for people's twitter handle, or a hashtag. Also ask for their location

PAGE 2

• A video is created from 3 shots - must play seamlessly, no hiccups (this is a big component of the demo)
• The first shot will be of a face looking towards the camera - it will be chosen from happy, sad or angry. Which emotion will be determined by the users twitter ID, depending how often they mention those emotions
• The 2nd will be a still image, chosen from a flickr feed of happy, sad or angry, chosen as above
• The 3rd shot will be identical to the 1st

Brett to send video to use as soon as possible. Use whatever in the mean time.

0.1 Tasks

• Twitter API
  • get people's tweets to search for mood keywords (happy, sad, angry)

• Geolocation
  • get weather for person's location, map to background, audio

• Flickr API
  • pull in images from Flickr for "faces"

• Canvas/Video montage
  • video will be 480x270 pixels
  • seamless combination of video + images (e.g., use a canvas to show video and images, hiding the img and video elements)

0.2 Ideas

Once we get that done, there is some added complexity I would like to add - for instance, the 2nd shot will be an "over the shoulder" of whoever's face I record, looking at a computer. We will dynamically place the flickr image INSIDE the computer. I'd also like to group all the emotions like the 5 elements site, but I'm hoping the above text is enough to get started.
