10 second DVD Intro

Heloo, I've made a 10 second introduction for the DVD just with the logo letters falling down and then the splat and vines coming on. Chris is gonna do some music to sync with it. Any comments?? xxx

Lovely User Feedback :)

Here are some very pleasing comments from users at our showcase event:

“Very visually exciting. Could See many commercial uses. Excellent.”

“Very impressive and thought provoking.”

“I found the whole thing to be pretty groundbreaking. I’ll be talking about this one for a while.”

“Very creative and innovative. Amazing artistic talent, very enjoyable.”

“I really enjoyed the whole experience, it was nice to see something new and innovative and fun! Well done (massively) to everyone involved.”

“I liked the way all the pieces worked together whilst maintaining quite and individual feel… I liked how the music varied with the movement.”

“An innovative design that would truly capture anybodies attention. It is very fun, unique, and very well put together.”

dvd transition thingy

just a simple, quick thing i did with the logo in after effects. i think we should have something longer and more complex for the animated intro but this could be used just as a transition or i-dent or whatever you call it somewhere in the dvd :)

Old Broadcasting House Event

On Sunday, we launched our product to the public, at the Old Broadcasting House. This was not organised by the university, but by us, as a chance for us to show off what we have been working on, and also to give us an opportunity to document and film the public interacting with our installation, so we could show this edited footage at the Innovation North showcase in May, as well as a chance to collect feedback from the public.

I am so glad we took the initiative to organize our own event as I'm sure we all agree it was a roaring success.

The day went very smoothly, with a great turn out, and the feedback we recieved was so so encouraging (whoever took the feedback forms home after the event, post the 'additional comments' on the blog so we can read them!). People really seemed to enjoy interacting with the installation and seeing what it could do, dancing in front of it, or even sliding past it on office chairs to see how it would respond.

The artwork looked vivid and attractive and flowed smoothly, the audio was very responsive to movement, and the interactivity was pretty seamless and smooth. All in all, it was a wonderful evening, and the feedback and interest we got from the tutor in attendance, Paul Emery, was fantastic and encouraging.

Here are some photos from the evening.

oh yeah and we made t-shirts.
Now we need to edit the filming of the event, record voiceovers, and collate the feedback and evaluate it!

The Cupcake Production Line

Emma, Alice & I decided to make a whole load of lovely cupcakes for the GotSpace? product launch at Old Broadcasting House, as an incentive to get people to come down and test out the installation, and also just because cupcakes are lovely and add a bit of fun :)

We made and iced seventy two cupcakes and they went down a storm, and really added something quirky and home-made to the event.

DVD Stuff.

Just thinking, if any of you graphics people wanna start some bits for the DVD soon it would be great. Need like a 10 second animated title screen for the start and end, just with the logo and things, and some short cut-screens, just like the logo, and maybe a splat land next to it, make the film look a bit pro...

=)

Some Photos from Lumen

For the past week we have been renting a rehearsal space at Lumen (http://lumen.org.uk) to set up and test our installation. Here are a few of the many photos we have taken to document our process.
