X-Factor = not good.

Islington Mill = non-stop party.

The above facts were combined into some lofi visuals for the recent Xmas party.

Green Screen

This is a situation where there were things I would have done differently if this had been a commercial production. (a) Obtained commitment from 'talent', and (b) Taken a steam iron to the green screen. As sometimes it's nice to proceed with a minimal production value in the name of keeping-it-real, I threw our set together in the midst of an exhibition in the gallery space. I definitely did at least some minor damage to someone's life drawing with one of the lights - sorry :(

I filmed some Islingon Mill residents and staff dancing on green. Be aware that you need a lot of pixels and a minimum of image compression to rock a green screen. Here I used a 1080i HDV camera, which is basically about the worst choice you could possibly make... But 'I could have done it properly if I'd wanted to'.

Video Loop

These are a few stills from the video loop, featuring Islington Mill dancers, some ghetto rave motion graphics from back in '88, and my reworked version of the X-Factor logo.

Documentary Evidence

About the only photos from the night I can safely publish :)

--- Happy Bastarding Xmas!
