Still in conversation with Heinz history center to shoot and scan their 1950's kitchen and living room --it's part of the Smithsonian so this could take a while...But, for demo am shooting at an alternative location upstate today. I have props ready including a framed photo of Alan Turing, a large analog wall clock, travel brochures and postcards saved from my own real Atomic Vacation research trips to Japan and the American West, and Shizuku's (my girl robot protagonist) favorite books including Betrand Russell's Human Knowledge: It's Scope and Limit's, Duane Laflin's Grand Self Working Card Trick's! DVD (which I bought at his magic show in Custer, S.D. during American Atomic Vacation), and some anime figurines I acquired in Japan.
This week's achievements, besides prop acquisition:
1. I successfully shot 360 photos with my 2 camera rig Kodak sp360 4k and stitched them which is what I'll need to do for the photos I shoot on set. Cyril will switch these out with the placeholder we have in the demo now.
2. Cyril made and is now editing a splash page at atomicvacation.com (I've owned that URL for three years now!)
3. Cyril got phone to ring and be gaze and touch pad responsive prompting Shizuku's audio monologue to play.
4. I found unnerving ambient sound through my fave source: NASA on soundcloud, manipulated it in garage band and sent it to Cyril for putting into demo.
5. I edited and manipulated Shizuku's phone monologue in Garageband and sent this to Cyril.
Here is a dropbox link to audio sequences.
To do before Saturday:
1. complete several more audio text to speech monologues and edit in Garage band as additional completed assets
2. Make QT film of my handmade storyboard as additional assets.
3. Edit and upload "Ray"'s selfie video farewell to Shizuku (the Japanese-American actress assures me I will get it in next two days!)
4. Create a few workable sequences as proof of concept for online Mind Map of Shizuku's memory banks using Klynt3.
oh, and, of course, my Geiger counter....
End of the world as we know it.
After Saturday, we work on demo for submission and I work on assets and expanding mind map for submission to Sundance New Frontiers Lab.
