Final Installation instructions

        First I got the ok from each student to participate in my project, then I took  a T3 camera and the stand associated with it, and set it up inside the Black Box, using the black curtain as a back drop.
I made sure that the camera was in focus and did a test run to make sure the video and sound were set and working properly. 
        When everything was set, I recorded each participating class member. I asked them 2-3 questions: -  1. what makes them happy?
                     2. what legacy do they want to leave behind, when their time on earth is over?
                     3. Do they know a joke?
        After I recorded all the participants, I imported the footage into Adobe Premiere and edited it. After I edited and scaled the footage, I exported it and then imported it into MadMapper. Once into mad Mapper, I placed each individual on their own quadrant. 
        Inside the Black Box, I took 10 white boxes and strategically place them into 3D positions, (see video), in front of the big screen.

After the boxes were set up, I hooked up the projector, turned it on, connected it to my computer, and mapped the quadrants onto the boxes, but since I had so many, I mapped some of them onto the big screen. (because overlapping the quadrants blacks out the one beneath, I had to do a live mix while showing so some of the quadrants can be seen).
        After all quadrants are played, you can loop the project or power off the equipment.

ReFlections

(Final Project)



Artist Statement

I have form relationships and have bonded with students in my Installation class, I have seen some class mates open their hearts and trusted us enough to share their most trusted secrets. I created my installation, "ReFlections", to further, and openly, express themselves from the "Heart", because I believe, "What leaves the Heart, reaches the Heart.
