Found this link to a wiki about community broadcast.
Seems relevant to Exeter Television
Also shows how a conference can be followed up. Could there be something similar in Exeter to continue topics from the Industry Day and other ideas?
Please add comments or drop by LifeBytes sometime.

and now the soundtrack from Vibraphonic
Animated Exeter closes as Vibraphonic opens.
It is all a desperate ruse to get through the last of the winter till the sun arrives and we can move outside.
I will use the blog for "wi-fi Exeter" as a suitable spot for Vibraphonic. The idea is to connect with whatever is going on.

More on Flickr
I have loaded some photos from the weekend. Reverse order helps the slideshow so this is now routine.
tag is "southpool", actually on the way back from Southpool so the North is home in this case.

IT Games on North Street waiting on Wii stock
Maybe it was the tennis in the Phoenix auditorium last weekend. There is no wii stock at IT Games. Apparently there may be a few in sometime but no proper supply till nearer to April.
Flickr animation tip
Well it is new for me anyway. Load the photos in reverse order. It starts with the last one for some reason.
I was inspired by the dropin session at Spacex to try some more at home, using one of the apples given away by Tim Brennan during the walk.
It works ok. Link to Flickr, please launch slideshow then speed it up.

extract from animation
This is a short extract of an animation that could be available online later.
Connects with previous photo. Also I am trying out this site for editing options linked to Adobe.

Rocks could be used as planets
Recent photo from Spacex where animation follows on from Tim Brennan's take on theNORTH. These were painted last week based on rocks. They could also be used as planets. Some animation may turn up online, see previous posts for previous links to other workshops.
90 degrees could be on the demoscene imho
So far almost no connection with the demoscene during Animated Exeter.
The Festaval favourites at the Picture House included "90 degrees". I noted down www.90degrees.fr but this seems not to exist. Handwriting in the dark not very reliable. Could we have more web links on the handout please?
However, it turns up on YouTube. search on "supinfocom" finds several pages so more later.
This animation would work ok at a demo party I think. Maybe there are many people who already know this but my impression so far is of two sepearated worlds.

Pirate University in Plymouth
This is where the open source support may be found. Suggest you try things out online, get stuck, then ask them for help on the day.
open source software is not always easy to find
Finding out more about the i-dat software. I found some help on Macs at the Phoenix. However the only zip file that unloaded ok was a video edit from thugs at bay. I could not actually use it but found a really neat video through their website.
There will be more help about open source sometime soon.
Maybe it is just me and a Mac that seems difficult. You drag a used zip file towards the dustbin then it changes shape and moves away from you.

More about v-mob
V-MOB is "video workshops for mobile phones". The website includes some examples and some downloads. Intended for people attending workshops but the software is open source so presuamably anyone can attempt to get it to work. Seems best suited to Mac so I may try to get help at the Phoenix. (It appears there is a Windows version but the word MAC turned up in the zip file I found once it unfolded so I stopped there.)
Rescue seems to me the short film with the most sense of movement or journey in it.
Similar info at another site on Digital Workshops. Links to stop frame site where the latest work is a version of a computer game.
This may seem a long way from Tim Brennan and the watercolour tradition. But the move to digital may be just a way of opening things up. Stop frame is still in there somehow.

v-mob from Respect in Plymouth
This turns up on YouTube. Mobile phones, probably filmed on one as well if that is the right word. So far no sign of any video from Spacex animation but it is clearly a possibility.

Seagull link found
Searching on "seagull" and "ogles" has found this link.
Massive file by the way, well 20 meg or so. Think before you click.
Failed to load at home but works ok at LifeBytes. Quicktime on Windows is an option, you don't have to be a Mac person.
It may be part of a podcast from Imagine Magazine. Looked like XML or something.
More on Imagine website. I hope to find out how this works. There are some Mac fans at the Phoenix. It is a vodcast, not a podcast, as it includes video.
I think this animation has some film in the background. May not be from a mobile phone but there is a sense of mobility.

Jodi recreates gallery effect in blog format
I was trying to check out previous events at Spacex and found a blog for Jodi. A couple of years ago Jodi came up with what I think was a rendition of computers as anti-functional. Based on Apple kit it was a world in which nothing worked as expected. There was a computer set up to browse the web but no actual connection. this was explained to me when I complained.
The blog is much the same. Very disappointing as there is no content, just error messages. i suppose this is art, at least it is consistent.
Why not have a gallery event with computers and web access that functions? I will suggest this to people at LifeBytes. Maybe LifeBytes is a gallery already but anything that works there could be moved around..

Example of animation online
One of the animations shown yesterday is also online. "Gone Fishing" is a music video for a track by Second Person. The animation was also used as part of live performance, online at Fabchannel.
Fabchannel obviously has got at least two cameras and a lighting specialist. Still I don't see why Exeter Televison could not get the same sort of result at the Phoenix for example, where it is claimed that sound mixing is reaching a new level.

Detail from Museum Poster
The 'Inspire' exhibition on Queen Street has many pictures from the basement and recent work from schools. There is still time till the 24th to see the Tim Brennan photographs at Spacex. The landscape painting tradition is in the museum.
more definition for a topic
I am starting to promote the next 'meet the blogger' occasion, Friday evening at LifeBytes and have come up with a fairly clear sentence or two-
"There will be another chance for real time discussion around a blog on
Animated Exeter. The meeting will be at Life Bytes on Sidwell Street
in Exeter on the evening of Friday the 23rd Feb between 5.30 and 6.30.
Topics will include all possible links between digital culture and
analog reality such as the Spacex / Tim Brennan exhibition of inkjet
in a watercolour style. Arguably this 'reality' is actually in denial
about the current potential of technology to distribute images in ways
that are easy to access."
So this is getting closer to raising some issues. Comment welcome.

just time for two more
large collection of archive items on a table. it games are on North Street. More later
Big screen for Games at Phoenix
The Phoenix had a really big screen for playing tennis on a Wii or two. Worked well. So presumably any computer source could work, such as demoscene or anything online.More later, films start soon.
