no word as yet about reactions/opinions from the meeting on friday. i have to admit that i still don’t find this early viewing point of a film project easy.
i’ve worked on the project today. i felt i needed to start the momentum within the post production process.
a down side of working with binaural sound is the extra stage in the post production process. it’s a file conversion of the video to be compatible with the editing package i have so i can combine video and sound. i’ve done this conversion for the remaining rushes today.
within the korsakow work environment i’ve added detail into the interface of the film. this has led me to reflective again about sizes of windows for video playback and preview images.
with the draft online i’ve been able assess the playback quality and loading speed on numerous devices.
while i work i find myself thinking and reflecting about the project. having been a resident maker in the summer there are elements of the film i wanted to document back in the summer. for example the lift and the billiard room on the second floor. i also spend time reflecting about if i have gone a little over the top with filming relative to the budget i have to make the film. i think this doesn’t matter as much as completing the project as soon as possible because the mill wants to see the film and i want to make the film that maps the derby silk mill museum in november 2016.
as i finished off the filming last week on the first floor i found myself wanting to document the first floor for those past visitors and visitors yet to walk around the newly opened derby silk mill : the museum of making.
i know for some visitors to the museum as it stands today there is a slight disappointment. this is simply that it’s not wall to wall cabinets of things to look at. the derby silk mill museum is working towards being a museum for the twenty-first century. from what i have seen and heard of the plans for the museum, i think they will be blown away by the museum when it re-opens in 2020.
this project is working for me on many levels.
- november 2016 the silk museum looked like this.
- in november 2016 all this happened in the museum plus other events.
- november 2016 our workshops looked like this as we built containers to decant the collection.
- the back lift sounded like this.
- first floor memories.
- model railway.
- the social club on floor 2 in decline.
- the roof space prior to it’s development.
- outside the silk mill.
- aspects of derby all at the same distance from the derby silk mill museum.
i have achieved the momentum i wanted to create today. i’m feeling energised and ready to do the hard work needed to complete the project.
