Interim show idea's

Whilst working on my portfolio and project I decided to dig in the the college archives and work around the space allocated to us for the show. The intension was to see how my work would look like in the show. This is an on going work in progress model -














Filming of the attic with completed tracks

After a few rigours days in the workshop I was able to complete the tracks and get them ready for a continuos 12 meter shot. The following are the images of the tracks on set i.e. the attic-




The films that now follow are a product of the mini dolly rig I put together -



an extension of the library on another floor

Reminiscing the view of the attic the floor below the initial floor shared memories from up top. The following images are in order after scene 3.






The question that now arises is, how was I able to pin point my location under the attic so sharply? The following map helped me out here:





exploration of the space beneath the attic

Whilst working on putting the tracks together I decided to explore my projection space. Noting the small details now became important.The camera was only able to travel a distance of 12 meter because of the holes in the walls, those walls in reality extend downwards separating the building in different parts. Scenes 1,2,3 from the previous post represent the side of the attic above the library. Scenes 4 and 5 form parts of the staircase underneath and the corridor. The images below show the spaces as follows:
