End of Film

End of Film is the project I submitted in May this year for the photography module of my film course. It being the third time I'd studied photography I was a little tired of the same old process, so I decided to forego actually taking photographs and used these end prints to create something more interesting. Interesting for me, I mean. This video is taken from the second half of the documentation I made of the installation's first screening to my (very patient) class. There's more ends to be seen at endoffilm.tumblr.com, where I've been archiving a selection of my collection.

Here're some photos of the installation's assembly:

Lining it up

I got a bit flummoxed halfway through (maths + spatial relations being two of my very weakest areas) so had to make this janky artist's impression of how the spiral would work.

I briefly considered making a matching spiral on the floor.Thankfully, I didn't have enough ends on hand to carry this out.

I left the installation run for the day, and made a poster announcing same

That "all are welcome" at the bottom strikes me as kind of sinister now. Like patting the empty seat next to you as people get on the bus. Maybe it's why nobody came. Oh well, I had my fun and that's all that matters.

Le Ton Mité in Éire

I'm playing my first gig for a while next week (two actually, I'll be playing in Athlone a couple of days after) supporting Le Ton Mité, which is McCloud Zicmuse's band. I haven't met McCloud yet, but he's a good friend of Takashi's so I'm looking forward to meeting him, and building instruments with him at the workshops! Playing after me will be Clang Sayne, which should pretty flipping great. I've pretty much nailed down what I'm gonna do for my set; it'll revolve around banjo and walkie talkies, which go together like peas and pods.
Here's McCloud/Le Ton Mité in action:

Sometimes I hate making posters on the computer. This was not one of those times.

Also, what a mess!

This is mostly what I've been doing these last few days, but especially today.

Here is the reason why:

I'm so tired and excited!
