Tutorial with Jenny 23.1.2012

• Running simultaneously looks best. Colours complementary.
• Stillness of person
• 1 person with the camera 'tricks' or different people without as this would make more of a narrative, perhaps conventional - alieny/strange abduction.
• When the person is still notice everything else.
• Different points of perspective as camera is at different angles in each setting.
• Can choose to view them together or as separate images.
• Tunnel - black space, walking out of it. At first anticipation, expectation.
• Multiverse.
• Romantic journey, different people - more conventional.
• Slow, where? Why? Thinking about walking.
• Metaphysical.
• Try out being surrounded
• On a larger scale so the 'tricks' are a little more obvious - still very subtle.
• Sea - thought it was the waves that had been manipulated physically.

Experiment with set up

1 way projection - worked well down a tunnel, but couldn't get it big enough.

2 way projection - annoyance when running together trying to work out the differences, when running from one to the other seemed pointless.

3 way projection - same as before, not enough space to be immersive. Try in lecture theatre.

1 way screen - too small.

2 way screen - annoyance - see above.

4 way screen - in a line works best, running simultaneously. Not as long/boring.

Videos with Holly

Playing with characters, the idea of the strange being taken to a mundane place and vice versa, beginnings of playing with camera:

Bike Reversed with feathers, mundane but surreal

Stirring tea, daydreaming

Lion drumming, playing with camera

Lion fake smoking

Lion sofa, too literal

Lion stirring tea too

Normal to wig:

Sleeping to tunnel
