Test Day and Plinth Completion

Today was the day of our tech check at the Pavilion. We arrived in the morning to run through the set up of our installation in preparation for Friday. The purpose of this was to iron out any issues we had before the day of the launch. However, as we have not completed the construction of our plinth yet, we were not able to fully set up how we would on Friday. Having said this, we still brought the boxes with us so we could test roughly how our installation would look in the space.

One thing we noticed after setting up the projector was how washed out our projection was, confirming to us that we must blackout the windows otherwise our piece will lose the majority of its impact.

After testing all we could at the Pavilion, we then discussed the issue of how we were going to transport the plinth there. Due to the size of our plinth it will not fit in Mollie's car and so will we have to think of another way of transporting it there. Some of the group have suggested booking a large taxi, and this is an option that we are looking into. The production manager seemed distant and not forthcoming in helping out with a solution to this problem and instead left it up to me and Phil to sort out transportation. However, we feel overloaded with work as it is, as we still have a lot to do before the launch. Luckily Kelsey, Mollie, and Nathan were more than happy to help us out! They went and spoke to United Taxis for us to find out is we would be able to transport our plinth in one of their taxis.

Just before leaving Pavilion Dance we found out our get-in time for Friday is 12pm. This will be especially useful for us as we have a lot to do before the deadline at 4.

After the tech check, me and Phil immediately went back to his house so we could carry on with the plinth construction. Our aim for today was to finish building the plinth and to get a coat of paint on it so that it had time to dry.

We managed to complete the box structure and then we were able to attach the front and back panels to the frame.

We then gave it a quick coat of paint, and we plan on spraying it with fire retardant tomorrow.

*Update*

Kelsey, Mollie, and Nathan informed Phil that United Taxis would be happy for us to transport the plinth in one of their vehicles. All we need to do is book out a seven seater taxi. Phil then went off and made a booking and the taxi will be picking us up at 11:30am so that we can get the plinth to the Pavilion for 12pm.
