TV3 posed with "How's life going?" a new generation realization in television programs

Presenter Andreu Buenafuente returned to Catalan regional television with a special program, 'How's life going??’ in which the showman tried to confront, together with Eduard Punset, the great doubts of the human condition in the face of life's problems. In a new generation realization concept, The set illustrated the conversation between Buenafuente and Punset with projections using the mapping technique carried out by the multimedia design and communication studio Tigrelab..

TV3 made in November 2011 a series of two very special interviews with the scientist and popularizer Eduard Punset and the presenter and comedian Andreu Buenafuente. A program in which great expectations and resources had been placed and in which the protagonists chatted about various issues of daily life, while a mapping of almost 100 m2.

Tigrelab was chosen for the development of the contents projected in this living scenography, an immersive audiovisual wall of 24 by 3,5 meters high. This reactive and changing scenario, allowed the protagonists to converse comfortably and move around, without moving from his place, to a modernist library, a building in New York or become wrapped in a futuristic mesh of code…

Words like love, ciudad, brain, future, were the basis of a production that was to accompany a live conversation. They were carried out 20 different spaces. The program was broadcast on a delayed basis but was recorded as a live broadcast., letting Buenafuente and Punset speak freely while the director transported them through the images and according to the content.

Tigrelab proposed an audio-reactive background that was developed by WeLoveCode and Processing. A system sensitive to the words of the protagonists, making the image change with your words, opening new fields in interactive scenography for television. The image was divided into two parts connected to the two stereo channels (Left-Right), that correspond to each of the personal microphones of the protagonists.

Flexible management
Technical area carried out the assembly of the projection and video mapping management systems using 3 Barco FLM 20K HD projectors for their high light output and low noise level, very important factor on a television set.

The main novelty of this mapping was that the operator could manage the launch of each of the videos in real time.. This provides full control of the contents, adapting the projection of the images to the moment exactly when the director requires it. It is therefore a non-linear projection that is at the service of discourse. This flexibility was achieved thanks to the WatchOut program 5, that manages both the content (videos, photos, external inputs), like projectors and their geometry.

The program was a success, each of the two chapters getting an audience of 22,5% and very good reviews in the press and media.
