This blog is dedicated to my Final Year Project which will be an Urban Installation created in an abandoned house, where the 4 seasons are unleashed. Within this blog, you will know how my project has progressed including the problems which I will encounter and also the development of my final piece - Hafiza :D

Location Test Runs of Turntable

Here is a Video footage of the turntable set up at the location:


From this video you can see how the coding (stage two of special study) works.

Here is a long video footage of the whole installation:

As you can see that the turntable still jittered in certain places. I have brought the IC that will solve this issue. I am still waiting for it to be posted. But once I receive it, this problem shouldn't happen again.

Other than that, everything else is working successfully.

As you can see from the videos above that some of the animations are played at wrong co-ordinates. I set the co-ordinates for the animations at random to test the whole process. However, once I have the jittering sorted I will find the accurate positions for the animations and set them instead.

Room Measurements

I will be starting to make the wallpaper cutouts for each season at home, before taking them to the house to paste up on the walls. I will photograph each stage of pasting the wallpaper cutouts which then would become a stop-frame animation of the seasons taking over.

But before I do that, I went to the house and measured the room I will be working in and also measured each wall so I can begin the cutout process.

Chosen Room Location

These are photographs taken of the room that I have chosen in the abandoned house.
The following photographs also explain how I have planned out the Seasons in the room.

The left corner of this photograph will be Winter moving across the right to Spring.

The corner in the centre of this photograph will be Spring going onto Summer.

This wall is going to be Summer, hence the two windows.


The corner in the centre of this photograph will be Summer going onto Autumn.


The left side of this photograph is Autumn, and Winter moving across to the right side.

Locations

My first step is to find a suitable abandoned place for the stop frame animation. Here are a few photographs that I took of a couple of locations found in Halifax.

These set of photographs are from an abandoned house:

This house is generally clean, with holes in the floors and walls, and perfect for the animation I have in mind.

These set of photographs are taken inside an abandoned factory:


The factory was full of pigeons and the place smelt bad too so I was only there for a few minutes and then I left. When thinking about this location and my piece of work, this location is too huge to work with or around therefore I have chosen to work with the abandoned house.
