Bokeh

One of the more unique techniques we want to experiment with using the equipment above is using bokeh to create pictures or text out of light. We discovered this technique through our visits to different universities and we thought it would be an effective way to convey our themes surrounding technology.

We decided to do a quick test to see if we could replicate this effect and managed to get the following results. Overall we are happy with what we have been able to achieve, so we aim to use this technique in our final production.
