What's new

More news about the Bootham Bar installation. Part of the project is to shoot a film showing a whole journey around the walls. We haven’t shot the whole film yet, but here’s a demo that we’ve been working with. I shot it by taking 160 separate still pictures with my little Canon Ixus and I’m really pleased with how its turned out.

I’ve been commisioned by York council to build an installation in one of the towers on the walls around York. The plan is to put a projector into the gate tower called “Bootham Bar”. The projector will be mounted in the ceiling and project down onto a table. This will allow a group of people to stand around the table and interact with the installation. It’s a great project and we’re looking to open it around June/July 2006 so look out for more updates.

I’ve finally got round to redesigning my web site and I’m really pleased with the result. The new design is cleaner and simpler than the old one and introduces a new colour - shocking pink! Right now I’m busy testing it on every combination of browser and operating system I can get my hands on. There are some slight variations from browser to browser but overall its held together pretty well. If you’ve had any problems with the new site then do let me know - I’d much rather know about problems now so I can fix them. I’ve also started this news column and hope to add something new at least once a week - so check back regularly and see if I manage it.
