To make an experimental short film starring a robot made up of old broken mechanical parts. We headed to the ecliptic Barra's market, in Glasgow's Eastend and bought a load of broken junk that only creatives within a vague idea for a short film would possibly part cash for... Well anyway, time has flown and we've been so busy that guess what, we've not had time to do the film (yet)... We did however, find an evening to do some random tests in Playdead LABs. Using a combination of machine parts, video projections, flashing LEDs and luminous shoe laces (yes you read that right), we created some pretty interesting results. With the footage that was created, I thought it was perfect opportunity to having a "Video Remix" session with the Kinetic Illustration Class at Abertay University. I split the workshop into 6 different groups, gave them the rushes footage and asked them to use Final Cut Pro to cut together their own video remix sequence. The idea being that each group gives their own mark and style to their piece over 2 hours. After 2 hours, the different groups exported out Quicktime Movies of their video remix and we had a screening together where all the groups viewed each others' work. Here's a couple of the results...
