Final Hand in

Right so I thought I'd make life a little easier for Rach and write a list of who did what for our final hand in. Feel free to add and change anything you don't agree with...

Jason: Shot the film footage, edited and put together the opening film for the website, helped with the 3 video's on the website and made the film for presentation

Henry & Will: Created the website, Henry working more on the visual side but also some coding, Will made the photo gallery and did most of the coding side. Will also photographed the film shoot

Rich: Architecture animation for the website, voice over and background music.

Lisa: Helped organise the film shoot, provided props and helped direct. Worked with Jase putting together the image video for the presentation and organised the book printing and binding.

Gee: Did the layout for the book, worked on the scenery footage for the opening film and worked with Jase on the 3 video's on the website and helped with the layout.

Annelies: Helped organise, sort locations, direct the opening film and provided props. Did the writing for the book/website and scripts for the voice over and helped with the website layout.

I made this quote and its choice

100 Billion - Let the knowledge speak.

Website

This is a sweet image of an old man. Expressive?

I played around with a few different textures and this was the most successful layout i proposed.

Precedent Website...?

Just thinking about the website, I think the main thing me gee and lisa were thinking about with the concrete wall was to give sense of context as well as the new and old. It came from this website below just to maybe keep the look a bit inline with that...?

Image Precedents

Collage based precedents
Just a few ideas that may be of help + to get you thinking about the groups aestheitc and how you can start to possibly apply the power of thought and intent through your designed future technology into your 'historical' images.

Good for graphic inspiration and general random stuff.

Website Concept

Pretty sure labels are wrong etc but just quite like the general vibe...and maybe someone with nice handwriting could do the labels.

uh like this:

Video Inspiration

Just the two vids we've been using for inspiration..

loverthelabel.com

Nom*d - google it and it will come up

Movie trailer laden with perfect quotes etc.!

This link a a vimeo trailer for what looks to be a pretty interesting documentry...

Pretty strongly based on Ray Kurzweils ideas and over coming death etc. it also has some great quotes about the broader ideas of the future

Photos from the film shoot

Heres just a few pics from the film shoot

Artificle Intelligence

This project was done by Philip Beesley looking at what architecture of the future might look like. Really beautiful idea and amazingly done

http://www.hylozoicground.com/gallery/gallery_videos.html

"...the glass-like fragility of this artificial forest, built of an intricate lattice of small transparent acrylic tiles, is visually breathtaking. Its frond extremities arch uncannily towards those who venture into its midst, reaching out to stroke and be stroked like the feather or fur or hair of some mysterious animal. Beesley’s Hylozoic Soil stands as a magically moving contemporary symbol of our aptitude for empathy and the creative projection of living systems."

Website

Another potential idea for the website if the photo/notebook idea doesn't work would be something like this:

Clearly with less frames and would be good on an older wall but each frame could be a different section and could be simpler background. Just an idea though!

Botanical Gardens

Just a few photos I took quickly today at the botan's to get an idea of where we should film. These are some places I had specific idea's for but there'sheaps of good stuff!

Potential spot for walking shot

Nice long walking shot, loving at there's the framing of the trees

Potential picnic spot, lots of nice old trees

Maybe not the best place but we could ask Ellie to sit on the fence and look into the distance or play with her teddy?

Nice spot for some scenic shots

Inspiration

These are some of my friends photos from a fashion shoot, thought they were a good encouragement because it was all done with students, clothes, photos, model, all of it. If they can do these beautiful photos then we can totally do some good ones. Also just another reminder of the look we're going for
