Saturday

On Saturday Bobby and I went to Woodhouse Lane Car Park

just to see if we could get away with producing some of my

animation. Although I was told last week that security

couldn't supply me with any permission to take photos in

the car park, I thought I'd just try my luck and see if anybody

stopped us. We chose to evade most of the CCTV, but once

we had started shooting, one of the car park's workers came

to tell us we needed a license and official permission.

We then left the car park and headed to college, where I

came up with the idea of the human animation surrounding

Bobby as opposed to him actually moving anywhere. I had

tested this idea days before in the Vis Com studio with a

stationary coke can in the centre of the shot and it seemed

to work quite nicely.

Here's the result of Saturday night:

I' am quite happy with the end result, even if it was thought up

in the heat of the moment. It's kind of reminiscent of Madonna's

"Ray of Light video.

I've learnt from this experience that I really need to try my best

to get permission if taking photos in a place like Woodhouse

Lane Car Park, and to have alternative car parks or similiar

locations to fall back on.
