A really helpful tutorial today with David Curtis-Ring and Jo - lots of inspiration & new ideas to think and consider with my project.
Some points we discussed (too many ideas, loved them all!):
- Developing the idea of this interactive Birmingham skyline
- Like the idea of 'flat pack' - that it can be transported/taken anywhere almost as a toy
- Suggested the idea of being able to attach it to a TV/Computer monitor & use the screen as a light source - create a DVD/scenery to be played in the background and play with puppets in front. Being able to 'hide' modern technology behind this puppet screen, adapt the use of space to create a new focus in the room (like how people used to put a 'doily' on the TV!)
- Idea of layering. (creating video, then puppet, then recording it to put back on the TV/Computer, to then play again on screen etc) - Play/project either weather or other different Birmingham exports (TV programme Doctors, Pepper-mill at One etc)
- OHP projections? - practice shadow on this
- Music Video. Look at mashing up different music samples from Birmingham
- Video: Drop in different buildings into the screen depending on when they were built & the music of that era could be played in the background
- As well as 'static' building puppets, idea of having a few different 'floating' puppets eg helicopter (Birmingham link to military hospital)
-Any way to adapt it to mobile phone size?
- Work out what I want to film & how I will go about doing that (trial runs)
- Simple blog posts
- Less focus on the actual buildings for now (they seem to work!)

This is a stop frame animation, but elements of this are smiler to the idea that looked into with the synchronised/kaleidoscope ballet dancers, and an effective way of putting it to music.
