Compositing! Bringing in all the assets needed for each animation together. Majority of motion in the assets were edited in After Effects, then imported through H2654 exports and formatted to their correct dimensions to be ready to be projected for installation day. After the moving assets were imported backgrounds were placed in.

We had quite a bit of trouble figuring out how to get certain animations to be exported into transparent PNG sequences, however after fixing this issue we started piecing the scenes together.

As final touches we added painting frames to the animations that will be projected and added a canvas texture to all of the animations for a painterly appeal, this was applied with linear burn in the blend modes in Premiere Pro.

As a final edit, we added a glitching VHS effect to the ending of each sequence in order to amplify the panic of the alarm at the end of the first room.

For each sequence, we added a 1-minute timer at the front of each clip with 10-second intervals in order to account for the delay of clicking play on each device. This was to ensure they all played in sync.

After this, we linked up all the sound to the couple/ lady painting animation sequence as this would be presented from the main room's computer, and added voice lines to the greyhound animation so it would play in proximity to the animation. - Bri

Badge and poster design for instillation by gab milner

Posters/ name badges

Posters were pinned up around UTS several days before the event, this allowed us more time. to promote our installation at UTS as well as online on our social medias.

The name badges were placed over each of our respective job name badges which we wore alongside a uniform of white and black suit attire to match the theme. - bri

Physical sculptures for instillation by gab Milner

Shopping for props: For the 2 non-interactive props, we visited Glebe's Vinnies in which we found a ceramic vase and a sculpture bust. These were then used as our two remaining sculptors. While there, we also picked up art prints/ posters which we would use to fill the excess space within the first room alongside grabbing some fabric to use to cover the interactive sculptures. We also visited an art store not far from UTS where we picked up some wire which we eventually replaced with cardboard for the base of the sculptures. We also picked up gold paint which was intended to be used for the cardboard framing around the animations, which was eventually scrapped and printed out instead.

While planning the props Gab and I (bri), initially planned to work with dense wire and use plyers to bend and form the bases of the sculptures into shape, however after a few hours of atttempting this we decided it would be too strenuous to continue to build it like this and instead Gab brought forward the idea of using cardboard which Gab used to complete the finished bases of the sculptures. These were then completed by wrapping fabric carefully around the base and positioning the LED lamp within the sculpture ready for the installation. - bri
