Installation thoughts

     My art installation was taking the idea of layering film in a live, interactive atmosphere.  I really liked the idea of being about to watch the film grow and change while moving through the installation.  Honestly, the hardest part was the logistics of it.  Other than the original film of woods that I wanted to playing, the other steps in the process were just finding the equipment and making a game plan.  The set up was the hardest part for sure.  We practiced making sure everything would work how it was supposed to, but putting it all together in the right location was definitely hard.  That being said, I loved my team.  All of them were self-starters and really did a great job.  The one thing that I would change in the future would be the length of the cords.  We needed multiple cords and adapters in order to make it the correct size; however, that would have been too expensive for our budget.  We had to settle on just one cord for each layer, which were too short for the projectors to be able to play the video normal size.  Because of that, I really want to revamp the idea and present it again with a bigger layout and for a longer duration.  I still want to do my idea of making a short film out of the footage I took from it, but I think I might wait until I tweak it a little bit.  In the end, this was definitely my favorite project of the class.  It pushed our creativity and really ended the semester on an awesome note.
