Business Cards

Well, I've been doing a lot of thinking about the exposition recently, and I noticed everyone else business card designs and saw them putting their work on them. Dont get me wrong they look amazing but it got me thinking, how can I make a good first impression and make me stand out! I cant exactly put a video on paper!! So I started thinking along the lines of holographic and lenticular...after doing a few days of research, I started to notice something missing...THE PRICE! I could not for the life of me find a price for say 100 lenticular business cards, all websites said to give them a call. So I started doing the rounds and calling, after a few unsuccessful calls, I phone this company called 3d images and I spoke to the owner, David. at first I asked how much would 100 lenticular business cards would cost...to which he replied, 2-3 pounds EACH, so that would be around 300 quid...so I told him about me and that im a student trying to stand out and lo behold, he said that he always tries to help students out and that he would do me 10 for £25. Now I know 10 isnt a lot so my plan is to only give these ones out to potential employers who actually seem interested. I will print simple business cards too. He told me to send him two images. Here are the original ones that I sent him.

He then emailed me back saying the second image, the parts were too small for lenticular printing so below are the final copy.

Second TV testing

Well today was a lot more successful than last week. We didnt use the laptop as Raz had an idea of using a DVD splitter that can send the DVD signal out to two of the TVs that are going to be the same. We didnt get the timing exactly right but it was less than a second out. What we are going to try next is using the same DVD players because the load/play times were slightly different because of the different makes/ages of the DVD players.

1st Complete edit

Ok so here it is, the first complete edit. I so glad to have it full all the way through, but it is nowhere near finished yet. I am really not too keen on the middle section but I will wait and see what David has to say and get him opinion on it.

Film day take TWO

After re-evaluating my work, I realized that I needed more footage. so today I went and did some more testing. This time, I wanted to get some different angles and I took in lots of little LED lights to experiment with on the hammers and strings. As I really like the accidental light video that I took and wanted to make more!

Meeting with Daivd

Didnt have a meeting with Daivd last week as I wanted to keep working on my final video and get more done for him to look at. So far I have 1:30 completed of all 3 videos. As I had a media tests on monday. He said it is improving, but I think I need to wow him with the final thing!

Testing on the TV's!!!!!

Today is TV testing day! Well it was a bit of a disaster. But its best to try these things out before the showcase or it would have went very wrong. We used 3 different tvs attached to 3 different DVD players, complete chaos!!! The timing were completely off  So after discussing, for next week we are going to test them out on a laptop and hopefully get some sort of software that can play all 3 videos at the same time.

Middle tests

Tests for the middle part of the song that is quite abstract.
