A new guiding idea
Last Saturday I got up with a new guiding idea:
Do things slower, better and more simply.
I had been running like a chicken with its head cut off to film Valuable Gallery Exhibits in my spare time. This had to change. So I decided to spend less time making the exhibit perfect, perfect and more time in a holistic approach to the project. In other words, the online part of the exhibit would be just as important as the actual private exhibit in the Corridor Hallway.
Separating Set-up Time and Online Time
Practically I had to cut the setup time in half and work with the filming and cataloguing time in the other half of the period.
Remember that the Valuable Gallery exhibitions follow the change of seasons: that is summer, fall, winter and spring. So for half of the spring time for example, I would refine the exhibit onsite. that is I would work with the images that were better and I would perhaps change the images that had some work to be done. I would also spend the money on the frames in this period. And for the second half of the season, I would change the focus to stuff that records the exhibit: that is, organizing tools, filming and the online presentation of the show. So costs would be dedicated to things like updating the filing system or perhaps the purchase of an online program.
The Saturday Photo-Shoot
Right now we are in the last half of the winter session.
First thing I did on Saturday was to take a shot at filming the exhibition pieces. I went down to get the trolley to put all the exhibit pieces to film on. That being done I set up a little studio right next to my room. I decided to film from the floor. That meant sitting down on the floor and setting up both the easel for the pieces to film and the camera tripod on the floor. In this way I hoped to avoid interference with the images of the exhibit pieces. Unfortunately this did not work out. My reflection and that of room objects are still in the images that I film. Like always I will leave the images as is until or if there is a time to refilm it. In the future, if and when money comes in for the project, then a professional studio can easily get rid of the reflections. Now, on a minimal budget they will have to do. Anyways, I like the effects of the reflections sometimes. They make another spontaneous work of art.
Practically I ended up with about six works of art on art. Pieces from the permanent collections had already been filmed so the old images could still be used. I did the Corridor Gallery last week. This Saturday I hope to film the stuff inside the Rose Studio.
I also had a little time to work on some of the more major repairs that needed to be done on exhibit pieces. One frame had not been properly put together, for example.
