Degree show set up and video editing…

So, its that time already, 1 weeks left to edit, paint, set up…ahhhh…I am spending most of my time video editing, rendering, and building fake walls. I have been put in the plastic room at Chelsea with another video artist, Jakob Nielson. It is on the first floor of A block, so a bit tucked away, but I’m hoping that because I been given the task of making the degree show maps I can make sure that people know where it is.
There is a floor to ceiling window in the room, on the wall I want to project onto, so that needs to be covered with a fake wall. I also think I want to extend the wall between my half and Jakob half by like 4 feet, so there’s going to need to be a fake wall there.
I think it is important that the space where the set is, is an off-white colour, so as to mark it off as a recognizable staged area. Also the domestic-ness of my set means that it is necessary to continue this theme with the colour of the walls. I don’t think it would look right if the set was the same colour as the rest of the room.
So its going to be a long week of work.
