Yes, this was wonderful. It was great to have a chat through with someone else about my work, I think I will look to have more tutorials with him in the future. We were mainly talking about the types of cameras I use to film my sculptures, and what other equipment I could use/ involve.
· I spoke about how I would like to use mist/ fog when I film my lake sculpture, and he said that I could borrow a smoke machine from the performance centre – didn’t know this so that’s wonderful.
· Look at the tempo within my work (this was after discussing Gordon’s work). I could have an extremely slow piece, and don’t just slow it down via computer as you then have to deal with it clicking frame by frame. Ideally, use a better camera! The duration of my films could also be interesting – significant durations perhaps?
· Next was the types of filming I could be doing. 1) Telephoto, using different lenses so I can be filming from really far away as you will sense that distance when re watching. This could make it seem as though you really are on large scale. 2) For the water, I could use a go pro and actually film underwater. Film slowly immerging from the water or going into it. 3) Maybe look at perspective, filming circling the sculpture. 4) Use an old tape camera as this will again give it another feel.
· Use underwater microphones and talk – see what comes from that and if it works with the film.
· Finally, artists suggested to look at: Wallace and Gromit Aardman, Olafur Eliasson, James Casebere.
