Hello,
Well I just got back from Hawaii a week ago and Dan is probably back from Mexico by now and Ben seems to have taken a short trip as well.
Last week and this week I'm trying to get household stuff done before school starts (like refinance, repairs, etc.) I always get depressed at this time of year because when I go to Target I see all the back to school aisles.
So things have slowed down, but I have been able to get a little work done on the video. As I mentioned, I have to make the garage set more interesting from a wide shot. All the gadgets are currently tiny designed to be shot tighter. In Hawaii I found some good things I might be able to use--a spherical etch a sketch, for example. I also got a retro antenna from Radio Shack. It's beautiful and looks straight out of 1940. While at home I also found the UCLA art motor which is the falafel motor that many of us used at UCLA to animate our installations. That might come in handy. I also found lots of old paper things that should be good for the red room wall.
Ben saw the retro time clock I got for the green room set. I also got a calendar from Ebay for the same set. I have to admit, doing this is satisfying my desire to collect interesting things as well.
That's it for now,
Ron
