I decided to use some of the new footage collected at the old bunker to project onto my set up. I used the set up of having the chair facing away from the viewer and the TV facing outwards, there's just something a bit more voyeuristic about that layout.
Here are a couple of teaser style videos of each set up:
This was made using the video of walking around the bunker itself. I don't think this video worked at all well in the installation as there was a constant spot of light for most of the video, which gave it a bit of a stagnant feel, the only thing really illuminated was the TV and most of the time this was just white light. Although I do love the shot of the arm of the chair as it looms out of the darkness!
I've started to refer to this video as The Skylight, I didn't really have much hope for it working with the installation set up and it doesn't really, again because it's a very static shot and this just doesn't cast light and play with the shapes in the furniture the way I want, but I did like lining the piece of open sky up with the TV. I think there's something interesting about projecting onto a TV screen. It would be great to have the TV on showing static at some point in the installation.
So it seems I need to go out and collect some more footage, at least now I feel I'm getting a much better idea of what shots will and won't work in the installation.
