Installation set up

Went into studio 2 today to give our installation a test run.


I think its the perfect space for our installation, its got nice high ceilings a black curtain that can be pulled all the way around, blacking out the space completely.

Had lots of issues today with:

• Projector- mine isn't strong enough. luckily we could borrow one from Sarah which had a very strong, clear picture- she said we can borrow it Thursday
• Positioning- we moved the layers up and down loads of times to get the perfect height- want the first image to look as if Gaya is stood on the floor, makes it much more life like
• Cloth falling off the railings - the light rigs had to be moved into the perfect position, we have decided to tie the material to the rigs so it won't slip off
• Material blowing in the breeze- the studio has AC that we cant turn off, so we're going to create little holes and attach see through bits of string to the bottom so we can tie them down an prevent movement

Overall I'm happy with the set up we came up with today, the clarity of the image looks great and after lots of rearrangement we found the perfect heights/distances etc.

Slight Changes:

• Pieces of material are now staggered upwards as the projection is diagonal 
• First layer is close to the floor to create a more life like image- Looks as if Gaya is actually stood there 
• Using LED's to light the floor as the studio is pitch black !!
• Black cloth is used at the front rather than the white holographic material
• Cloth needs to be tied to the floor because of AC

We also finally decided on the projects name:
Me & Them
