I was playing Texas hold em with some friends, we were using lighters instead of money. These are some pictures I took. I would like to use lighters like this in my statue. I think it would be cool to have some color in the shadow.

Inspiration Overload
Last night I had a huge burst of artistic inspiration. I came up with two ideas I would like to incorporate into my final project.

Rethinking Idea
Although I have gotten some film of Donald that I like. I can't think of a creative way to project the film. Also I don't want to work with projectors with my second project. I would like to work with lights. I am thinking I would like to do something with Christmas lights.
Possibly imitate Yochai Matos. I really like his works. He is an artist from Tel Aviv who works mainly with florescent lights. I would like to create a piece like his but use different lights then he does. He uses florescent lights, maybe I could use christmas lights or some other cheaper alternative.
I also really like the idea of playing shadows. Maybe I could imitate Kellis Landrum's work.

2nd Attempt to film Donald
This time I out smarted the mini bunny and closed him in my kitchen with cushions too tall for him to jump over. I got a 10 minute clip of him and a 40sec clip before my camera died. Its hard to get a good recording of him because he moved so much but there are sections of the 10 minute clip I really like. Maybe I will record him a bunch of times and then edit what I like out. Then combine the good parts
First attempt to film Donald
Day One- filming Donald. I decided to film him in my kitchen because it has a white floor, white walls and is square shaped. I attempted to block off the sides that go into my living room and cabinet area. It was hard to contain Donald. I spent the majority of the first day chasing him around my apartment.

2nd Project Idea
I want it to appear that Donald is running around the black box floor. After

NEW IDEA FOR FIRST PROJECT
I haven't been happy with the direction my project is going. I don't think that projecting time lapse onto a cloud statue will create the effect I was looking for. I have spent a lot of time brain storming how I could change my project. I have come up with the idea of creating INDOOR CLOUD GAZING! I want to borrow my very generous classmate's camera and record a long segment of cloud time lapse. I then want to project my recording inside in overhead space so that viewers feel like they are outside looking up at the sky.
I need to think about how I want to project the film overhead. This depends on where I present my project and on whether or not I have the audience sit or stand. If I present in the classroom, I could project onto the ceiling and have viewers lay on the floor. If I present in the black box, I could create an inclosed space with sheets and metal hangers and project onto a white space. This could get tricky because, what type of fabric? how big do i want the space to be? how will viewers enter and exit the space? etc
What I like most about this idea is creating the illusion of being outside laying in a field, gazing up at the sky. This idea gives me space to play around with noise. I think that some kind of audio needs to accompany the projection to genuinely create this illusion. Maybe I can record sound when I record the video. this may be boring because where I recorded last was by the diagonal highway so the sound recording would just be of cars passing. Maybe this would work. I will have to play around and experiment some bit.

Cloud Construction
I went to Joann fabrics to find some materials to make the clouds out of. I found this white material used as a Halloween decoration and a similar material that is used as snow decoration. The snow imitation material has sparkly thread in it. I played around with the material a little. It was very easy to mold but was very delicate. I am going to need to get some kind of wire/screen to use with it so the clouds will maintain their shape while being hung.
