Here's the finished result of the documentary! I compiled it into one film because it flowed nicely! Here it's split into two parts since the whole thing couldn't be uploaded (running time = 20 minutes).
DOCUMENTARY PART ONE

HOLY MACARONI!
So the documentary has been giving me trouble! I noticed when I added the text in for the title/between sequences/credits, the text went fuzzy as you may have seen in the last videos I posted.
It was the compression settings, so I had to fiddle around with them - the text still looked awful until I changed them to 'none.' The file may be huge, but at least the text looks sharp. So the intro/mid-sequence/credits are done. I've fixed most of the sound and added some music. All that's left is to finish filming the last of the progress (screenprinting = Tues, folding, etc.). Here's a few screen caps of the text for the film.
Next up, we have the Coachella fanzine dealio to go with/in the music publication posters. Emilia and I have decided we are going to make them A5 and two sided - so if you flip them one way you can read her perspective, turn it the other way and SHAZAAM! my perspective. We're also discussing doing it in black & white (like the posters) or possibly in one colour. These are how my layouts are looking at the moment.
I just finished home screenprinting some envelopes I made for the post cards. I took the A3 bamboo paper print of the California one to get framed this morning : )
These bad boys took about 4 hours to fold. They were extremely difficult to fol, as the paper is MUCH thicker than expect. They're not perfect but at £140 to print, can't afford to redo. My back is about to go after all the hunching over today. Need to get these chopped down industrial style at Uni.
All this progress feels really good. I feel like I'm about to keel over at any given moment, but I can't believe how much I've accomplished.

Can't really see the text on the darker khadi paper, but the bamboo looks good!

GETTING CLOSER! AHHH!
Emilia and I have retrieved our printed posters! Double-sided A0 is possible folks!
Tuesday we will be screenprinting our gradient! Egads! Wish us luck. We can't screw up because we've just spent an arm and a leg on these posters!
I've also been making progress with the documentary. I've been learning Final Cut Studio as I go, not too difficult, but still all new. I've got nearly all the footage that I'm going to be using, edited it down to a fraction of what it was and started with the intro/end credits and breaks in between. A few minor errors at the moment - one video didn't transfer over from George's hard drive, right now it just says 'media offline' in place of the clip. So I'll have to get that from him on Monday. The text is a bit wonky also so that needs to be fixed. I'm just working on the sound at the moment... so that will be much smoother sooon!
Here it is as now, in 2 parts.

PHOTO PORTFOLIO
I've been having quite a difficult time selecting what will go into my photography portfolio. I've shot the trip to Scotland (Findhorn/Scoraig) and California (Coachella/Salvation Mountain) but neither of those groups of images really create a narrative/set. Dave and Gary have recommended that I submit a few mini-projects.
Right now I am working on choosing maximum 4-6 photographs for each.
I have forgotten all about some really great portraits from this year! Well - I really like them!
Here's a few 'sets' that I'm considering...

3/4
Thought you might like to see the regeneration process for one of the posters... not a great glimpse but still you get the idea..
So we've just got to print out and edit the Fans poster and complete the highlights poster! We're taking it to print Thursday morning, so we've got to HUSTLE! I'm ridiculously pleased with how it's turning out and the response we've gotten already! Hooray us!

TO DO:/FINISHED RHYTHMS BOOKLETS
I feel pretty good to have been able to cross 1 thing off my GIANT to do list!
Finished the Rhythms booklets! I put a little explanation of what the booklet is, and put in the lines as Rathna suggested. I think it really does look loads better. I also refined the spacing so it's all even now.
What's left on my TO DO?
• PRINT BOOKLETS
• CHOOSE PAPER FOR POST CARDS
• PRINT POST CARDS
• DESIGN FANS POSTER
• VIDEO EDITING (FINAL)-- THURSDAY
• GATHER/ASSEMBLE PHOTO SELECTION (PHOTOGRAPHY)
• PREPARE FOR TUESDAY GROUP TUTORIAL
... and most of that I want to get done today!

POSTER PROGRESS 2/3 DONE?
The posters are coming along swimmingly! It's been a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get these bad boys looking sharp. Emilia and I decided the easiest way to approach the posters what to divide up the interviews, get them on the page in our own styles, then come together in coordinating them to meld brilliantly. We spent Thursday doing our separate bits, then spent Friday finishing them together. Last night Emillia refined more details on the completed venues poster, which we will discuss after she gets off work.
Today I will be attacking the last poster, the fans, then we can go over that along with the other two final posters and voila! We should have these ready to print by Monday evening. Hooray! Go us!
Union Chapel interview, also pre-coordination
My articles pre-coordination
Artists poster, final version
Venues poster, final version
Emilia's Luminaire article (I think it's my favourite!)
Union Chapel, post-coordination
Troxy, post-coordination
How the fans poster looks now (with all the text to be used)
