Mindmap of ideas for your installation

Create a mindmap showing ideas of how you might install your video.
Define what type(s) of visuals you will use.
(Eg. video cameras, still cameras, hand crafted artwork, film, animation, digital technologies)

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Past and current video installation practice

From your research into video installation, give two examples that you think influence your work / ideas
in some way.
One should be a past practitioner, the other should be contemporary.
Past Practitioner
Name:

Edward Muybridge

Biography

was an English photographer important for his pioneering work

in photographic studies of motion, and early work in motionpicture projection. He adopted the name Eadweard Muybridge,
believing it to be the original Anglo-Saxon form of his name.
Most famous piece is known as the horse in motion when there
was a debate wether a horses 4 feet were off the ground while
galloping

Notes on their installation

However Edward muybridge was the first person to pioner the
first movie projector called the Zoopraxinscope. The
Zoopraxinscope had a glass disk inside with several drawing on
them. When the disk spun it appeared as if the images were
moving. It was then projected onto a wall through a light that was
in the machine

How is it similar to your ideas?

It is similar to the ideas we have discussed, as we are planning
to use a projector or something similar and he was the creator of
the earlier projector.

Contemporary Practitioner
Name:
Biography

Omar Fast
is a contemporary video artist. He lives and works in Berlin.Born and raised in
Israel, Fast spent much of his teenage years in Jericho, New York while his father
pursued a medical degree in both countries.He received his BFA from a dual-degree
program at Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in
1995, majoring in English and painting, and an MFA from Hunter College in 2000.
He subsequently got a job doing magazine layout, then met his wife, German
designer Anuschka Hoevener, who was studying fashion in New York. He followed
her to Berlin.

Notes on their
installation

How is it similar
to your ideas?

He did a video installation called 5,000 feet is the best in 2011. It conisted of a
projector showing a drone flying over a town. The audience consisted of one person
this is to show isloating the video is and allows the audience to connect with the
video

It is similar to our ideas this is because we are using a projector as well as

headphones so the audience watching can contenrate on the animation they are
watching and not getting distracted by the surrounding nosies.

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Installation / set sketches

Draw a series of thumbnail sketches showing ideas for your installation. Add labels to your diagrams to
identify equipment, where the image will be seen, where the audience will stand etc.

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Sound design
What sound will your FMP / Productions have?
The sound in our exhibition will include the music and talking from the projectes that are being
displayed. We may include soft gentle music to make our display more intresting and appealing for
people to come over

Will you use headphones or speakers for this sound?

We will be using headphones and a speaker

Why?
We will be using headphones so our audience watching can enage into the video as much as possible
and hear the sounds that are playing in the video more clearly as they may not be heard due to other
noise in the exhibition. We will also be using a speaker to play soft music to make our display more
interesting and to stand out.

Lighting design
What lighting will you have in your installation? Consider health and safety.
We will have red head lights to light up our exhibition. We will have one on the interactive part of our
ehibition so people have good lighting when they create their own stop motion. And one lighting up our
videos and stage

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Sketch out your lighting plans for the installation.

Projection vs screen
Will you project your video or play it on a screen?
Will we be projecting our videos from a projector.

Why?

If you are using a screen, will you

use a single screen, or multiple

If you are projecting what will

you project ONTO? (ie fabric,
screen, materials etc)

How will that change how your

audience READS your animation?

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Technological convergence
What is technological convergence?
Its when you change the format of the footage

Will you be using this in your installation?

No

Explain your answer.

Because it should fine without changing any of the formats to fit anything in this is because all the
animations were short lasting about 30 seconds.

How have the following influenced your ideas?

work of the artists you have researched

How we can make our work different

and stand out to other exhibitions, how
to use the space we are given to make
our work good and how to show it in
different styles and not all having
screens and projections.

venue and facilites

What venue will be suitable for the

work we are producing. However I
personally believe an art gallery or
something similar would be best
however we are using the Red Lion as
our venue

lighting

How we should light up our production

an use different colours to make it
more interesting for the audience.

sound

Having headphones so people are

more enaged to our productions as
well as having a small speaker playing
at our exhibition to draw the audience
in as music is known to enage
audience as it makes them feel more
welcome

screens / projectors

With all the research we have done on

artists and exhibitions we have
decided to use projectors to present
our work this is because it allows use
to show that we can use different
types of technology

speakers / headphones

We are using both to let the auidence

listen to our productions more clearly
and then with music playing at our
exhibition to make it more friendly

Copyright issues

We could be potenially copying another artists exhibition that we may not know about, we could use a
certain style someone has already used or set their work out as

How can you be certain that your work does not violate any copyright infringements?
We will have to do research or look into other stop motion animation exhibitions and speak to ours
peers about how they are setting their exhibition up so ours is different and stands out.
