The video of the kangaroos came about after another discussion with tutors and fellow students. Finding the image I needed on u tube, it took skill and help from others to edit the film and then set the projector in the right position to play on top of my work. The intention was to give my design a 3d effect of kangaroos running, using movement. However, although the film was as sharp as it could be, it was still not possible to see a strong image of the kangaroos running, due to the light coming through the silk. Placing a board loosely behind the box helped block out some light, but it took away its transparency of the veils therefore not allowing the other images to show through.
This is my first time in exploring the design using a box and next time I will endeavour to explore
the final display in more depth, allowing myself more time. Perhaps, I will take the box away to create more light and transparency and allow the veils to unfold their stories. Or l may create another story box, using a peepshow with a different story. The plinth is not ideal either, and will need to be cut to the proper size next time. One thing is for sure though, more research on the final display of the work will be required.
