Todays tutorial proved very helpful and has given me some more solutions and things to think about with regard to the technical aspects of my work.
There were 6 of us in the group and we each had 5 minutes to present our puppet work in progress, we all then discussed the work for 15 minutes or so, throwing around ideas, developments and solutions/suggestions to any issues relating.
One of my technical problems was finding a way to spin the zoetrope in order to activate the moving picture- bycicle wheel, pole, motor, record player, suspended above..were all solutions we came up with and ones which ill experiment with. Cutting the pigeon stills into the lightshade, then shining light to reflect the shapes onto wall space was also an idea that came up- an alternative to the zoetrope method but could work out better ..linking more smoothly with the static scenes relected onto fabric backdrops. As this is something i'd originally been trying to accomplish...wanting to dominate the space and create movement.
Another is lighting and timings, whether to light up individual scenes in turn...maybe on a loop so have either several disco lights timed...or one light on wheels which moves to each scene.
Installation location- i want it to feel atmospheric and so needs to be in a dim lit area so as to benefit the shadows most and enhance the lighting i create.
