A new post for all of our reader!
Sorry it’s been so long, reader. Nonetheless, I must press on and get down to business.
We’ve finally gotten ourselves in the theatre to start work in earnest on our GFtA-funded project LOOM/THADOWS LOOM. Had a great day last Friday, learnt a lot about what we can do (and probably more importantly, what we CAN’T do…) and generally had a really productive time. And, for that matter, a lot of fun. One of the things that really struck me was how, when we were working in the space, there was no thought given at all to this being work or tiring in any way shape or form, but when we got home…whew…suddenly we all just collapsed as one…
So, without further ado and in no particular order, here are a whole bunch of nice pictures from the day:
It’s Matt and Jim!
Mmm, smoke machine. Mmm projector. One of the things we found is that the projector we bought is fantastic.
How did a stripy shirted shaven ape get in the theatre? And where is it going with that cardboard?
And what the hell is wrong with his feet! Put that down!
Just to point out to our (possibly imaginary) reader – we made all the projection material. It’s all us and none of it is stuff from 2001 that we just using for test purposes.
And the image being projected here is something that Jim got on his visit to the Hubble space telescope. He used the ‘Space telescope to Canon EF mount’ adaptor that he got off Amazon.
Just smoke and lights…
You can’t tell, but in this picture I’m using a wicked bit of freeware called ‘ppooll’ (www.ppooll.klingt.org) to remix Madonna into something completely unrecognisable. I’ll post that up here as soon as I can whop it onto Soundcloud.
