Revised Projection System

I went around trying to find a really nice room that would work for my projection without having to really build anything or fix something up unless I had to and I think I found a room. The room that I wanted to play with my projection is Studio 3 formerly known as Financial Aid office. The room has a 4 ft x 8 ft board that I would be able to tack my pieces to that wall and it would take about 30 to 40 sheets of 11 x 17 to completely cover it. That amount is adding anything extra so that if there is any projector run off it will be caught by the projector. I also kind of measured up and figured out that to fit the board the projector would have to be 10 to 12 ft away from the board, I would need to test that today if it is possible. I have pictures of the space that I need to upload for viewing pleasure and I also need to find out the class schedule for it...so we won't go in there when there is a class.

Board Idea

So after talking to the group about what to do with the board we came up with the idea of dividing the board in half one side for showcasing some of our work and the other side to allow the school to contribute to an assignment. The assignment would be a small animation that would be compiled on a later date and possibly shown but each day we put a new frame for them to draw to and continue which would be underneath glass on the board. We were also thinking that maybe we attach the a camera somehow to photograph the board whenever someone goes up to draw on it, so that it could document everyone's contribution to the project. An alternate option to this setup, since the camera would eventually run out of memory it would make sense to hook it directly to a computer in the little studio that we have for experimental. We were also wondering whether or not we could get the board next to the studio or if Photography still completely owned it. Once we hit a number of progressive shots/frames we open up the studio to the school so they can see what we are doing to the piece and our own stop motion pieces....so everyone has an example of what we've created. We will also create our own flyers and way-finding to help students find the studio and understand what we are trying to do. School wide emails is also another consideration to this process but....we don't want to keep emailing everyone because that could become annoying.  This is where we are right now with completely planning it, as of right now I think the material list is a piece of glass to protect our pieces from being drawn on, a palette of paper pinned up for people to draw on, some markers that we can get for cheap for them to draw with, magnets to pin our pieces up, we will make the graphics for the board, and I think that is it for now.
