Its currently 22:22 Friday 4th November 2011 and the past few days have been uber hectic, busy, frustrating at times but on the while productive and fun. I traveled down to London last Wednesday for the London performance of Bluebeard at the Royal Festival hall. Steve and myself pre rigged some of the kit on the wednesday day and then the entire team was in from the early hours of Thursday morning. For some reason there seemed to be more to do on this gig, tweaking/fixing not helped by the fact that I was a little ill and made a few mistakes whilst updating the programming so had to do it twice!! Once again though as a team we all managed to turn out another great show which is satisfying. Nickins brother Andrew Corrigan was taking photos all day and had also set up a time-lapse camera which Nickin turned around and posted on Vimeo in super, quick, time, Good work Nickin, Take a look below.
24-hour Timelapse – Bluebeard’s Castle – 03/11/11
We also got a review in the evening standard which seems like a good one, although the thing is, in the grand scheme of things, reviews don’t really make much difference, people decide. I found the first reader comment quite amusing, James, from London, UK seems like a bit of an angry man, lets hope never to be stuck in a lift with that particular person.
So thats Wednesday & Thursday covered, not for getting that I manged to get home from York on tuesday nigh to squeeze in a quick 5k row at the gym and also go and see LaNuit at Dance city which turned out to be a fantastically and amazingly caught up with some friends, WIN!
Today I arrived home off the train around 11.00, got home, sorted some stuff out and then was back out again heading over to see the guys at Novak who I’m helping with a projection mapping project from last year which were doing again this weekend. To raise the profile of the area and to celebrate the centenary of spanish city Novak were commissioned to produce a projection mapping piece and i was drafted in to help with the technical delivery aspects. As well as this, the guys have been working on some pretty special new 3D disco content and setups involving unity which I was impressed with and looking froward to their first gig using their own developed technology. Checkout Diversion, Novaks projection mapping piece, and if your in the area it runs on Sat-4th and Sun-6th November 2011 at whitley bay spanish city 17.00 till 21.00.

Now, I think I’m going to have to get some proper sleep, due to the lack of rest hard work and sleep depravation with the hectic schedule, I’ve felt the floor drop away from me on a couple of occasions. Defiantly 7 hours sleep ahead, its now 23:30, its taken far too long to write this, night.
