Twelfth Night Everglades timelapse

A time lapse video of the lighting focus and plot for Sport For Joves 2012/2013 Shakespeare in the park season. This is taken at our second venue, the Everglades Gardens, Leura, NSW, Australia. 2.1.13
The biggest (but most satisfying) challenge of lighting this work is the sunset. As the sun goes down through the play the quality of the light changes. I took this timelapse in order to record that transition.
In 2013 The plays are running at the Everglades until the 19th of Jan.. For more details see sportforjove.com.au

Realnaut – Rapid Prototype 2012

RapidPrototypeWeb0005.jpg
Realnaut is a new independent artwork I’m creating. I presented a first-draft version at the inaugural Rapid Prototype event, held at Alaska Projects in the Kings Cross Car Park, 28th August 2012. Realnaut explores the idea of live editing reality. 
It consists of a helmet worn by members of the public. The helmet contains a head mounted display. On top of the helmet is a camera.The camera view is processed by a computer before being fed back to the helmet. A projector shows bystanders what is happening.
