the live documentation - the edited draft
This is a draft edit of the documentation of the live show of the final clips that I planned on July 30th, 2011, at 9:00 pm, at the outdoor of the Bread Republic café, Beirut, Lebanon.

Feedback on the clips - Friends
Yesterday, My friend mentioned that I probably should play the clips in a way, the more one looks at them, the more elements he/she discovers; as and example, he mentioned the cow scribble in one of the clips, how we can't really perceive it until it starts moving off the whole into the sky.
Today, another friend (tamara), looked at all the clips so far, and she had some interesting comments.
BUTTON CLIP:
- She liked the indoor/outdoor work.
- Found the paper in the background too graphical.
- Suggested to have the pony layered in front of the city.
- Found the edge of the indoor bed side counter too blurred. (maybe I should feather the edge?)
- Again, she would like the button to rotate.
CRANE CLIP:
- Problem with the scribbles (the red one and the grass bit), found them flimsy. (maybe I should try these more thick)
GEFINOR or MARBLE CLIP:
- She also wondered why the marble is not rolling.
HAND AND HEART CLIP:
I told her that there will be an extension between the body and the head so the head doesn't get suspended in the air, she suggested that it doesn't have to be a neck, could be another element that could work with the building.
- Later on, if this element doesn't work with the flower, I could remove the flower.
SLIDE FLOWER CLIP:
- She suggested to repeat either the flower color or any other element (maybe the heart from the hand and heart clip) in the pot on the side, it might create some sort of interesting visual.
WAVE CLIP:
- The top of the blue and white closet might be annoying, either extend the blue or do something else with the top part.
- When I reappear in the building, it's good to see me in more than one location.
WHITE HEELS CLIP:
- Work on the scribbles, how they disappear, maybe when they disappear, turn the lights on?
- The chandelier should disappear sooner around the middle.
- Maybe the chandelier at the end should be bigger and cropped?
- the white heels could just peak in and out, no need to have it go all the way down.
A General comment:
- I should watch the film: "Father and Son" by Alexander Sokurov
Feedback on the clips - Mike and Paul
I showed Mike and Paul the clips and I got their feedbacks, some general and others clips related:
- Modul8 the software is fine, I won't need something more specific at this point.
- The Midi is just there for practical reasons, I could manage to operate directly from the software itself, it's just the buttons on the midi are more comfortable.
- Mike suggested I gather all the clips on one big composition, on some form of a grid and I could move from one clip to another, moving up and down on every other clip while they are playing, probably could zoom in and out of the playing clips as well.
- Paul suggested I dissolve and do some layering work.
- Mike and Paul suggested I cut the clips even further, making every other movement a new clip, in other words, split the clios more.
- Mike suggested I take elements from clips and save them as separate layers as well to enrich the whole performance.
- They both are insisting on the importance of music.
- A VJ could be sitting behind the audience unless he is part of the performance, "you don't want people to look at you, you want them to look at the visuals".
- When you connect the controller or the midi to the computer, you have to map the midi, making the computer key detect the controller.
- Paul suggested I use the ease in and ease out buttons.
- Note to self: Consider projecting on a LED screen?
FINAL - bricks clip indoors
A new clip with my younger sister, a new character that will only show in this clip as part of the project. Actually this clip still needs refining and more editing.

FINAL - button clip indoors
Two earlier clips which weren't quite convincing, I reworked them both and integrated them within a next context, and both clips are now merged into one. It is the following:
