Week Five Incorporating Video into my installation.

In the latter half of Week Five I added moving image into my Degree Show Work. Sound can really make a huge difference to an installation. With a full headset the film becomes merely background but with a loud confident sound the video is very much center of attention!

Week Four-Focus on film editing.

Thu, 16 May 2013 19:51:26 +0100

In my spare time I was editing my film for the installation. In week three I got really bogged down with the process and so I left the editing for a few days and came back to it with renewed vigor. Then in week four the editing process overtook anything else, so I don’t really have any imagery to show. My tutorial with a visiting tutor helped me rethink my video and so that enabled me to polish and finish my film on the Tuesday of Week Five. I won’t show any film previews as I don’t want to ruin the surprise!

Week Three- Photo Planning

During the third week my main focus was on how I would arrange my imagery. From my early plans this background wall is way simpler than what I was originally going to do which was a huge crime scene wall. But in the end I felt that in keeping it simple it would be stronger symbolically.

Week Two Light Tests

During this week, once I had a basic table setup I added and played with my lights selection. This ranged from a traditional desk lamp to the more outlandish OHP projector!

Week One Documenting initial props…

During this week I started to collect and sort out my props. At later stages items would be removed, hung up or generally readjusted! Nothing too fancy at that point!

A Sneak Preview! 16.05.13

Thu, 16 May 2013 19:21:34 +0100

Hello everyone, I thought that I would give a small update (pictorially) of how things are going as I haven’t updated very much recently! In the following posts will be how I’ve planned my weeks. I time tabled each week to doing a certain part of my final piece with the rest of the week doing misc. things (like writing). It was suggested by a tutor to do elements one at a time that way near the actual setup you don’t get too overcome…

Anyway enjoy!

Basic Colour Tests (OHP on Photographs) March 2013

Extreme colour gels projected on to vibrant colour photographs as part of my early trials. Very happy with its similarity in style to Nan Goldin (her obsession with colours to show emotions in photos.)

OHP Gel Shots (Lingerie) March 2013

In this instance I was starting to combine the OHP with the coloured gel sheets to be reflected onto my 1960’s Babydoll styled lingerie. The reason I originally wanted this was so that I could digitally project a scene from my current video. It is a bathroom scene that shows a suicide being committed. However when it was played onto the walls, the rooms uneven surface distorted the video, and in a way distracted from the narrative of my video. Even when low down it was still irritating.

Hopefully more videos to come.

(I would also put up my video work but I am still editing the drafts, currently on my fourth version.)

OHP Portraits 21st Feb 2013

These are further OHP styled portraits that now include my makeover of Samuel Rains, I believe that he quite enjoyed the experience! And to some level I quite enjoyed it to.

I really prefer the OHP portraits over my initial 10 Years on Drags series, but I guess that idea got all the other bits and pieces rolling in terms of creative output!

OHP Portraits 13th and 14th Feb 2013:

After my initial photographs for my 10 Years on Drags Series I tried out some more experimental shots with an OHP projector and my lovely assistant Nessa Green.

I further edited them via Photoshop CS6.

Weirdly I prefer these to my series of 10 A4 photos, they seem to have this eerie camp illusional fantasy basis. In particular the first photo (top left hand corner) and the middle photo (mid left hand side.) The sunburst of colour at the top could represent a background light from city street light and the middle one, a weird dream like subdued spotlight. I also have a short film I used from the middle section!

Please enjoy! Will post more very soon…

As you or may not know at the moment I am currently working on a series of videos aptly named the T-Gurl Series, which looks at the many fetish based cross dresser videos on youtube at the moment.

These are a couple of wig tests from my experiments…

Hope you enjoy! Hopefully after assessment I will be up to my usual uploading self, but for now this is it.

Regency Painting by Elicea Rose Andrews (2012)

Liss was ever so friendly and helpful in providing me with a Regency face paint in preparation for a performative piece that I wish to do in the future. Playing on the sensibilities of a Regency Lady. A performance on etiquette and Gentlemanly deeds. What I wanted was to look like a sickly regency portrait/lady.

OHP and Digital Projection (Combined) Tests.

These small tests are experiments which will hopefully lead up to a bigger idea for second term that will resinate as a Private Detectives styled crime scene/evidence wall with an obsessional collection of drag paraphernalia and kitsch. It will hopefully be a multi-media piece…

The overlaid props reflect back to the mock feminine items vs the pub glasses.
When I just reflected with a digital projector I had to physically hold the glasses up whereas with both OHP and digital at a podium level I could experiment a lot more.

Just having an OHP was more me getting to grips with how to represent “evidence” bags for my term two work.

More photographs of my other tests to come soon!

Pub Series (Behind the Scenes.) 7th November 2012. Part II.

During this night I allowed my camera to be used by my volunteers, here are some of the results, a sort of Behind the Scenes.

I really liked these smaller gems, although I haven’t included everything, as it got quite filthy.
