Further Development...


We originally wanted the font on top of the canvas coming out in 3D to make an effect akin to the I heart NY picture, we originally planned to make the letter forms by folding the film in shapes, we were going to use actual 16MM film to do this, however because of lack of time in the project, we were unable to get any authentic film and instead we decided to use camera film.

Later though, we thought that sticking the reel on top of the canvas would not be such a good idea, and not so creative so we came to conclusion of projecting stenciled letters from the film reel onto the canvas, which everyone was pleased about! We wanted to project the light on top of the canvas, but the lights would obstruct the way for the audience to see the projected letters, so projecting the light from behind was the best solution!

Two simple Torches on two drum stands things with a bit of cello tape for holding the torches is all it took to make our spot lights! Cheap and simple and VERY effective! If you need any technical work like that done, then go to Saif Zahra!, he's the guy who made the lights..genius!
