me studio

here (in a limited edition widescreen HDTV size) is the result of the CD jewel case project i made recently… more news when we have completed the other parts of the project, it looks a lot easier to make than it was, trust me…

dylan and i finally completed the CD jewel case type project yesterday in the hague, in all it took us two weeks to make the installation and record it, we made a series of pictures, followed the whole process using a CCTV camera hung in the daylight studio and we shot a stop motion series at the end while we dismantled the piece…. more news soon

i say we are finished… but actually we need to make the films and edit the whole thing so it may be a while yet…

in the hague, yesterday we continued the CD box project, it’s coming along nicely… at some point during the day we encountered a problem when the supply of pixels ran out, which forced us to redesign the font (making it narrower) thereby giving us a new set of boxes (pixels) to complete the rest…

two teachers from the school ‘gert dumbar’ and visiting-lecturer ‘reza abedini’ popped by to see what all the fuss was about, during the afternoon, and gave us some approving nods… we are going to shoot the final piece later this week and try to make a small stop motion film, and if there’s time, complete the whole alphabet…

i spent the day in the hague at the art academy with dylan yesterday, working on our CD case typo project (see earlier post this week) we got the CCTV installation in the building to record our endeavours during the day, it’s coming along nicely although we still aren’t entirely sure what it’s going to be… which is part of the fun, after all… why experiment if you know what is going to happen?
