We have branded the next part of 1st Corinthians "O what a tangled web". We immediately knew we wanted a Tim Burton (ish) look. I designed the artwork. After several fonts, we decided on the one. I asked Chris Joye to compose a short score for the project. His piece was amazing. It was a perfect fit.
I had designed 20' diameter spiderwebs to flank our stage and hang above the house. We ran into some scheduling issues - this part is not 4 weeks like we thought but 6 weeks. It will span Easter and we have a wedding right after Easter. Spider webs for a wedding would not go over well. I decided to make 10', easily movable, webs. We put one together and it looked horrible. I scraped the idea at the last minute. It's called creativity. I guess we'll just have to stick to projection-based elements.
When it came to the video I knew we would do a 3D thing and fly the artwork in and webs were going to be part of the visuals. I really was struggling with what would tie the whole thing together. A couple of weeks ago, I got the idea to make the webs out of words, words describing the things that cause the webs.
I hate coming up with ideas like that when I have no idea how I am going to make it happen. I started doing tests to make sure it was possible with the software I have. It was a lot because to be able to zoom as far in as I needed to, the files had to be huge. It really slowed down the processes. I needed a couple more gigs of ram. I made several attempts at including the wall paper, changing the wall paper, and trying to create a room out of the wall paper. After several failed attempts and much frustration I just let the background be black and flew in the wallpaper at the end.
