Thursday 2
On Tuesday we kicked off the online show preparations. Next live chat on June 9, but wiki page is now up for contributions.
Andrew and I measured the space today and took photos, to be uploaded shortly. Need to check it was the right space, actually, as the building is like a rabbit warren.
Tuesday 6
Need to finish my films and have a tutorial for the sound plan. Films also need to be edited in synch. for the timing to fit, as the centre projection is abstracted from both adjacent themes.
Uploaded the diagram and some of the pics. See show planner.
Thursday 9
Had our 2nd online chat. Tried to define work areas/job lists, and some names for the show were tossed around.
Tuesday 14
Third online chat today. We seem to be making headway, and we are getting to know each other, which is important.
Good progress on the centre film: abstraction. It is being made in synch with adjacent themes, so I have used graph paper to measure the sequences against each other.
Thursday 16
Every night I review the day’s .mov exports. Next day I make tweaks @ Cam. in FCP. Next week we are packing up and the Macs will be stored, help! Need another week or so: the films have to be the same length so I need to generate another couple of minutes on 2 out of 3.
Thought of a way round this: take exported .movs and import into a new FCP file at open access. I’ll have to be sure of the exports as they will not be editable (except via composite sections to paste over errors. Generic filters which will not be suitable).
Thursday 23
Went to open access yesterday and the files open ok, and because I will not be returning to the earlier version, there will be no issue with lack of backward-compatibity.
Also measured the space but no-one on chat today. Not sure if it was canceled, but it gives me time to upload pics and add the measurements to a new diagram.
It is strange to feel homeless, as we can’t enter the space until early July. We were not expected so may not be able to fully reside. Also I enjoyed rattling around like a ghost in Wilson Rd over the past 2 years, so that would explain my feeling of displacement.
Wednesday 30
Gave files to John Carbery for the foyers, so hopefully those will be shown soon.
Uploaded the diagram with measurements.
