After returning to London, I had my first meeting with Parrot in the Tank members, where we conceived a story for an upcoming "walks" performance at the Untapped Festival at the Arts Depot near Finchley. This will be performed on the 2nd of May, so relatively soon. For this performance I worked on story development, and will be creating an animated flashback sequence, where the main character yearns to return to the sea from whence he came. This animation will be integrated into live footage. I also want to experiment with stop motion using pebbles, as the main character is based on a statue made of pebbles. I would probably use these for titles.
This whole project for me is about collaboration, which is what I've been really looking for after months of relative isolation working on my BBC project. The requirements for this piece are fairly minimal, however the short span between now and the performance means I have a lot of work ahead of me, and I am excited to be working at a much faster pace. After the May 2nd performance we pull out the big guns, and prepare for the 24th of May, which is the Accidental Festival at the Roundhouse Theater. I hope to do some more in camera animations, but also work on projected elements, and how the viewer interacts with all three modes: real world, virtual world, and the projected world. Many, many possibilities!
