The Final Video (edited by Mr. Mears)

iDAT209 - Controversial projection for the Dance Academy Building, Stonehouse, Plymouth, Devon, UK from Luke Mears on Vimeo.

The final production came out brilliantly, I feel it is simple but that is what we need as people have a limited time to take it in. The video starts with curtains similar to what would be seen on the stage, reflecting its distant past. It then asks if the driver wants a good time and some "E's" all in slang language and using smilies. This reflects its most present usage. Next it goes on to show an RSS feed from the www.thisisplymouth.co.uk website, which will show any article which has the theme of the Dance Academy on the screen, 95% of which are about the drug bust and uncertain future of the Dance Academy, this would of course be updated automatically if there is a new story about the building.

One problem I did have with the presentation was the lack of colour and also the speed the stories go at, but this is because there are so many to show in such little time and the observer can make out enough to know what it is about. I suppose this also gives the factor of wanting to return to try and read the parts you missed but it would have been better if it was a little bit slower IMO.

Overall I think it was a great success and our group worked together really well! =]
