Yesterday all of the pieces fell into place and I was able to complete my work on my bamboo sculpture. With the help of Des (Technician) and my 2 camera people Pat and John I was able to pay my quiet tribute to the invisible and forgotten people in our society. I thought long and hard about how, where and when this was going to happen and eventually settled on a quiet location in the grounds of the college just as it was starting to get dark.
Because this piece is based on a form of isolation, I chose not to have any witnesses (apart from those needed to fulfil a role in the production). I also felt that students who were passing by without noticing how the structure disappeared added to the overall feeling of being invisible and overlooked.
I need to edit all 4 camera's footage (will definately need help from dad with this) and add a soundtrack in order for the piece to really mean something. Overall I don't think the weather and the footage could have turned out any better so I am really looking forward to getting the full piece completed.
Thanks again to Pat, John and Des.
