Just some ideas that could piece some loose ends together. Now watching our first beaut video (Eloise doll's masterpiece) again today has definitely got me inspired and taken me back to when we started the project...reflection. Our feedback for this video was so positive and strong, it was considered artistic and really provoked a feeling with our peers...punctum. Now, I mentioned today about filming our audience in the rooms and editing said film to display in the 'reflection' room. We all came to the instant conclusion that it wouldn't work...I beg to differ!
We have access to the skills and help of Fdeg techies who can oversee the technical requirements of parts of the rooms where our loveable techies and artistes Zachary and Martyn could work their mastermind magic on editing some footage in time for the reflection room. I know its a long shot and I am not suggesting Zachary and Martyn are not present in each room but they can dip in and out with the help of our kind volunteers? Alot of our requirements and Zachary and Martyn's work could be prepared in advance, and where it cannot be; can be when they are present...?
Let me know what you guys think?
Furthermore, I was also thinking of supplying each audience member with a torch for their journey to the rooms from theatre bar. Now this is where the link to our beautiful monochromatic video comes in. I remember in Evita they used those battery operated tea-light candles. Imagine 42 audience members walking in a dark corridor with pure exploration and anxiety on their faces, filmed in black and white, accompanied by our ever-favored track "Bloodstream". We could use gobos along the say to really re-create the effect of this video in such an artistic way. Again, like I mentioned today, our audience would get so much more from watching themselves in an artistic way than watching us. And I think a majority of elements of our dreams research are also present here?
I suggest watching the video back again and see what you can imagine? I hope I've sparked something in you guys regarding this idea. Tell me what you think and we can merge our visions and make it amazeballs!!!
along the way*
ReplyDeleteYes! All sounds 'A'mazing :)
ReplyDeleteI remembered our work we did with lights and our friends the gobo's, would be nice to use them again in the reflection room. To help the audience focus and enjoy the room encourage a final realisation and positive feelings.
Also love the idea of the audience members holding something, i definitely think we should use the 'journey' from the theatre bar to the studio's to begin the signifiers. If they had something like torches through the whole thing, it would help them feel involved. Important! and see how we could use what they have in every room. another link between rooms, depth!
Much love stArs! xx
