The Page for Digital Sound and Video Production

Had our crit for the digital sound and video production today. Liam and Phil seemed really happy with our Pacman project which is awesome. There was some incredable work shown aswell, it never ceases to amaze me how talented our year is.

Pacman runs a mock in Bournemouth town center, it all went really well and i cant wait to start the editing process. Everyone in town had a real positive attitude to what we were doing, all in all a great day. Even though Jason and Josh almost died of heat exhaustion it was so much fun.

Jason = Pacman
Josh = Inky the Ghost

Pacman has arrived, complete with B&Q’s finest plumbing pipe, G&T’s most exquisite shower curtains and Zebedees most finest fabric. He’s almost done now, just a few bits of fabric to sew in and then its time to build the ghost.

Today I meet Tom, Jafro & Josh at the Castle Point B&Q to get the materials to actually build Pac-man and the Ghosts. We got rigid plastic pipes, plus ones that bend and lots of gaffa tape, then we walked all the way to toms place in Winton and got lots of funny looks on the way. Then it was time for a beer, afterwards we cracked on. Jafro had two saws so we could cut the pipes but after about 20 minutes the junior hacksaw was so blunt you can’t even cut your hand on it. It took all day to build Pac-man and one Ghost so Friday is to get the second Ghost done and get the fabric to go over the frames.

We had to change our Tetris theme for the video project recently, purely down to the fact that the boxes were to expensive. We are now going to do roughly the same thing but with Pacman, using umbrella’s for the balls.

Our first thoughts for our video project is to create Tetris on a grand scale. We want to get 50 people in cardboard boxes (in the shape of Tetris blocks to simulate a massive scale game of Tetris down in Bournemouth. Our inspiration for this is are the Sony Bravia adverts big, bold and colourful.
