What am i forgetting?

Audio Possibilities

Audio Groups
Liz Group 1
Steph Group 2
Lucas Group 3
Shelly Group 4


Audio Ideas
Sound Trac
-- take audio from movie sound tracs
-- take audio from Check it outforeign movie sound trac
-- porn movie sound trac

Mic
inside room
outside environment

Conversations
quotes from classic movies or cult movies
built conversation

Audio of different Environments ie... city sounds vs nature sounds

created sound trac
create or arrange tones or sounds that will be controlled by the sensors

Richland show update

sensors anyone?

i think we could use 4 of these. click here
they are radial sensors so four makes more sense for the space and the wallet ($35.00 each).

on break i purchased 1 set of powered speakers, 1 web cam and 1 DVD player for the show. i saw another speaker set at the goodwill in moscow for 14$

Does anyone know how to wire? there are other sensors that would cost alot less but we would need to do some work on them. ($60 shipped for 5)

The Richland Show

Things to Consider!

power cords & strips

Housing and Transportation
one house (holds hockey team)
Stay with Tri-Cities students
School Van ( Jessica )
Cars (Matt, Joe, Lucas, Shelly)

Documentation

Promotion

Remotes in different Locations
need to secure the remotes


TV's will be considered in the Gallery when down there


Audio
make a device that create sound
CD player, Tape Player, record player, retro player, VHS
Radio
devices that make noise, alarm clocks


Ideas for sound (so far)
Ideas 1 @ least 2 radios, VHS rotated videos and 3 other sources

Idea 2 5 VHS with different TV Audio

Idea 3 Sounds of People walking

Idea 4 Capturing and using sounds of daily life

Idea 5 Audio that you can feel

Idea 6 Create 5 different devices that create sound

Idea 7 Use 5 different appliances that make sound

In Class fri Mar 9th

Discuss the Richland show.


Edit, Edit, Edit

In Class wed Mar 7th

Today we edit video!

here is the Richland show idea so far:


so it looks like we will be doing a light and sound installation. the plan so far is to have tv's with some sort of video loop (with attention payed to color)facing the walls. the remotes for the televisions will be available for people to turn them on and off. the sound will be controlled by infrared switches that will turn on or off the sound as people walk through the room. that's the idea so far.

After talking with Doug, this is how the equipment looks.

- black paper for the windows (richland has this)
- 10-14 televisions. (4 here, 3 in richland (4 more possible)
- DVD players for the TV's (4 here, 4 in richland (3 more possible)
- infrared switches 5-8 from Radio Shack $24 each? We can use some of the $200 from them.
- powered speakers and CD players 5-8 (i have 2 CD players and tri cities has som computer speakers)


This is what I said to him about the roll his students can play. He agreed
The TVs are to be used as a source of colored/textured light. if your students are interested they can be responsible for creating the video for the DVD's. we will create the audio piece and we can bring them together in April.

what is missing from this list? What do you have that we can use for the month? (we mostly need CD players or ???)

the gallery idea so far. get thinking for Fridays discussion.

In Class mon Mar 5th

First we will sit down and hammer out a solid idea for our show in Richland.
things to consider: what to do, incorporation of students from down there, where to stay, transportation, cost$ and ???

here is a layout of the gallery


After we are done with considering Richland, you will be given time to finish shooting or begin editing your films.

In Class Fri Mar 2nd

- Ideas for disemination?


The Storyboard for each groups project is due today Wed 28th. You will have the rest of the class today, and all friday to meet with your groups and start shooting some footage. If possible I'd like to get all the footage shot and the video edited by friday March 9th (the friday before spring break). We will have alot of time in class to edit the video.

We also need to start thinking about the April 4th show we have down in Richland. We need to consider what we want to do, how we are going to get all the pieces down there, and what we are going to do about installing our piece. We also have students down there that are interested in working with us, so what roll can they play? When we get back from spring break, we will only have about 2 weeks to pull the show together. This weekend I want each of you to come up with an idea for the gallery down in the Richland. Think interactive, installation, altered space, sound posibilities, can it tie into this current project? We will take 30-45mins to discuss your ideas on Monday March 5th.

class email story

Once upon a time there was a female knight named, Betsy. Betsy the Valiant was very courageous. She went on a quest to find the golden dragon that lived in the land far beyond the great eastern sea. But before her quest, she must gather all of her supplies at the local shopping center. She was out of mascarra and lip liner and as these were essential to her power she gathered as many shades as possible from the local department store. Then she began her quest for the PIG and the giant LIZARD. Upon crossing the great eastern sea, Betsy was astounded to find that she was back where she began, or so it seemed...She was actually in an alternate universe where everything was backwards. Up was down, right was left, and old was young. Betsy was astounded. she fell asleep, but sleep came at a price, when she awoke, she awoke as 5lb furbry with three fingers on each hand. She quickly ran to the mirror to see what she had become, and immediately liked her new furbie look.
