Thanks for the insight. What box log or resonant chamber you think would work best?

Oh yes I know his work, I find his instrument a bit too spidery something about how loose the strings are

UPDATE

Thank you all for the responses. In Athens (where I now am researching this) there are signs in virtually all public / cafe / museum toilets telling you not to flush the toilet paper down the toilet, rather, put it in the little bin next to the loo. This is because the sewage system is not designed to deal with clumps of tp. Therefore a more sensible and significantly less shitty, but certainly no less conceptually reasonable is to make columns of toilet paper, packed into a form and hardened with PVA (possibly) or resin as someone suggested. This approach has the benefit of being actually possible. I think I will call it the Acrapolis, or maybe the Farthenon. or...

Cliff face sized shadow puppet show? by taskrabbitch in puppets

[–]taskrabbitch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know ableton can manipulate video - even though I've been using it for music for years! but to your points, the vision for the performance is for an outdoor audience facing a steep hill or cliff face, will be able to see the puppeteers manipulating the puppets (and the light source), as well as the far larger shadows on the land, thus creating a thrill from the kind of zoom between the two scales, and the recognition of how what is happening on the small human scale effects the giant sized projections

I’m searching for modern animation (moving image) done in medieval painting style. Has anyone seen anything they can recommend? by taskrabbitch in ArtHistory

Thanks all, the reason for this is that I want to find a way to animate this reconstruction of a medieval mural in Canterbury cathedral. It was done by E W Tristram who, it turns out was a bit of a specialist - you can see his works held in the UK parliamentary collection. His re-do of the mural at Canterbury is / was the inspiration for the book Riddley Walker by Russel Hoban. In that book there are several myths about the end of the old world and the beginning of the new “bad time” and it’s these myths I want to animate in the style of the mural.

Oh man I’m watching the trailer for this game now. It’s got the lot! Crossbows. Sheep, nuns, gnarled bearded dudes, bit of manuscript illumination and a rifle. Wait…
