I filmed these interviews on a low resolution DV camera in 2009. The videos formed part of my art school final project and research into Mareel (Shetland's very own Music, Cinema and Education venue).<br /><br />At the time of filming, the venue was at a crucial tipping point of completing a particularly difficult funding and planning phase. But quite importantly (for the tone of this film), ramping into the construction phase of this important project for Shetland.<br /><br />Recently when dusting off some old hard drives I found these files - which were originally separate clips. I have spliced them together into one continuous segment.<br /><br />The footage has never seen the light of day (apart from in my University research). Looking back, it starts to capture an essence of a time of huge change in Shetland and indeed in my own life and journey as a creative practitioner.<br /><br />Featuring interviews in order of appearance: Murray Arthur Andrew Morrison, Roxane Permar, Marvin Smith, Gwilym Gibbons, Bryan Peterson, John Shewan, Kathy Hubbard.

<i>Bristol Museum & Art Gallery</i><br />
<br />
Today I visited Luke Jerram's <i>Gaia </i>at Wills Memorial Building, Bristol. A giant hot air balloon like inflatable, 7 meters in diameter, composed of NASA imagery of the Earth's surface.<br />
<br />
Spending time gawking at the spectacular glowing globe makes me ponder on our presence in the world. It makes me feel small. But it makes me THINK.<br />
<br />

<br />
I sit and watch the World go by, reflecting on what we're doing not just right now in this moment, but of humans impact on this environment and other life within.<br />
<br />
Next door in the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery the timely intervention of the permanent World Wildlife gallery section of the museum: <i>Extinction Voices.</i><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The museum have draped fabric over the existing animal exhibitions that are extinct or endangered species. <i>Extinction Voices</i> is a clever and simple solution - using the existing works which highlighted by the museum themselves, historically pose part of the exact problem of extinction. This is a surprisingly engaging and thought provoking question for visitors.<br />

Back at the World, it's humorous watching reactions to the exhibition. We don't know how to greet the World as we're strangely not used to seeing it. Some people sit, some people stand, some people lie on the ground, or try to get a higher vantage point to see the more familiar landmarks in the northern hemisphere. The surprising presence of the World is puzzling because we live in this world and see it everyday.<br />
<br />
Watching these reactions to these inanimate interventions of exiting spaces today made me realise that things don't always have to be complex or physically interactive (as I strive and fail in lots of my work). That the roughly cut fabric drapes don't need to be hemmed at the edges to be perfect. That the images composed to form the world don't have to be 300dpi and seamlessly joined together to create a profound experience.<br />
<br />
Our human is something that can be embraced. But to make a change. We need to do a little (lot) less.<br />

<b>The first part</b> sets out putting to bed my naive understanding of birds nests. I'm reassured when Andy points out there has been very little research into the subject. Along with his father Peter, they give us a captivating 101 course in birds nests. There's many types of structures and materials used. As well as hints at ingenuity in bird building and design. Demonstrated by the case study of the male bowerbird, who builds a nest like structure then decorates with brightly coloured objects to attract a mate.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>In the second space</b> we are introduced to a baffling side of life through an exposé about egg collectors. These smugglers go to lengths to collect rare birds eggs. They would stash their eggy treasures out of sight of anyone, in fear of prosecution. The exhibition features beautifully reproduced replica eggs from a major egg bust. I only imagine they refer to the bust as a scramble - which saw the RSPB destroying a huge haul of over 7000 eggs. On one hand you think what a waste, but on the other you realise they can't support such activities. These eggs should never have existed as a prize of human enjoyment. They should have hatched birds to continue life rather than endangering. As our crow narrator points out we must learn to observe nature, rather than feel we need to touch and remove.<br />

I loved the processes on show in this archival exhibition. After the crowd pleasing 'opening titles' - you arrive backstage at the set of Kubrick's World.

I was particularly taken with the process between Kubrick and illustrator <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Castle">Phillip Castle</a>.

He knows the right people to work with and squeeze out the extra juice. This in depth, yet glimpse, at his process is inspiring for any fan.</div>

Jump to our modern day Netflix era. A self contained section about traditional Chinese board game, "Go". In documentary <a href="https://deepmind.com/research/alphago/">AlphaGo</a>, programmers show AI the game rules, to understand how the game works. Teaching the machines how to play and how to beat humans, including one of the best players in the world, Lee Sedol. Only, us humans can't accept that sort of defeat. When Sedol eventually wins against the programme it's deemed to be the "Hand of God". Surely, something a computer can't have? I mean... (let's not go too far down that route). Fascinating. <a href="https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80190844">Watch the documentary on Netflix.</a></div>

Generated artwork in <a href="http://annaridler.com/mosaic-virus">Mosaic Virus</a>, by Anna Ridler shows beauty beyond possibilities of human conception. Such beauty can only be likened to plant life. But along with narratives of our consumeristic world, our ever fragile natural world is not forgotten here. Can AI backtrack our destruction of the planet? Self building robots that can morph to different shapes and environments. Could these be an answer to rebuilding any destruction we cause, or the cause of such terror?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What is constant throughout is how boundaries are blended by AI. Where does AI stop and where does other life begin? Do computers know what we see? Or do we see what we know? I begin to wonder, as computer vision depicts a mess of old audio cables as a dramatic sunset beach scene.</div>
<div>

As always AI is at odds with our own advances in technology. Exhibits break down. AV technicians dismantle the magic black boxes to reinstall software. Part and parcel with this field of art. Something which I find reassuring on many levels.</div>

Provocative and entertaining. Plenty to keep your measly little brain occupied. Worth a visit on a rainy summer day.</div>

As a teenager I often compiled random mixes of tracks illegally downloaded, called "Internet Music". I decided it was time to resurrect these playlists to share some of the music I'm currently listening to. The plan is to release these every month or so... intermittently.<br />
<br />
Give it a listen here:<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">My last day working for Shetland Arts.</span><br />
<br />
I started working as Graphic Designer with Shetland Arts in 2009. The graduate placement transformed into a full time post. In 2013 I switched to part time when I moved to Bristol to pursue a MA in Printmaking.<br />
<br />
Shetland Arts went through many changes during the time I worked there. Building Mareel. Expanding the marketing department and use of design within the agency. More recently restructuring the whole team.<br />
<br />
I'm very lucky to have been part of that and it has allowed me to boost my professional practice. And to that, I'm thankful to all the people I've worked with at and through Shetland Arts.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I thought I'd celebrate by putting together a best of creative projects from over the years. </span><br />
<br />
It's been hard to pick one per year as there are so many projects ranging from corporate branding (Mareel!) to the weird and wonderful (which are my favourite, and usually something to do with John Haswell!)<br />
<br />

Within a few days of starting I got to play around with movie posters for Film Wednesdays at the Garrison Theatre.<br />
<br />
Notes: The team worried not using official movie imagery would not pull in a crowd.<br />

This was an epic project to document hundreds of rings that were part of the Portage: Finger Symbols exhibition at Bonhoga Gallery curated by the amazing Mary Smith.<br />
<br />
Notes: We shot most of the film at Burrastow House. We had freedom of the B&B for the day and freestyled as we went through all the rings. There was no real plan and it was wonderful! Jane Matthews came up with the idea of body paint on the arms and it set the film off on the weird tangent.<br />

The process of branding Fiddle Frenzy, from the initial sketch to final which is still in use. It seems fitting to show it as Fiddle Frenzy 2017 happens to be the very final project I'm working on today!<br />
<br />
Notes: We user tested the designs with musicians and music teachers who suggested flipping the direction of the fiddle to better represent the instrument.<br />

Above all the rest this was the most memorable in ambition and process. Director John Haswell pitched the idea and we went with it! Morag Haswell was a hero and posed for this photo in the freezing cold.<br />
<br />
Notes: The photo was taken in the old Sandwick school, where Richard Wemyss lived at the time. Pig head provided by Martin Sandison who was working at the Globe butcher. The chalk was written by hand. John kept the head in his freezer, it provided a good few meals.<br />

Change was a climate change conference held in Mareel in 2010 which we were helped out with marketing and branding.<br />
<br />
Notes: There are often so many iterations in the design process. And these are two concepts which were never used. The first cycles through different typefaces showing the changing nature of our world. The second used a piece of creative coding software, visualising data collected over a year in Shetland in form of a logo.<br />

I would have thought every designers dream job would be to work on a beer bottle label? Part of the Mareel cafe bar's celebrations around ScreenPlay, an annual project I will miss working alongside Kathy Hubbard.<br />

It has to be said that some projects were tough with quick turnaround times. Sometimes you have no idea what's required, but it allows things like this to happen.<br />

<br />
Up Helly Aa is a fire festival which lands on the last Tuesday of January every year. This map is to give a bit of guidance for visitors to Shetland, and part of Shetland Arts print marketing for their annual Fiery Sessions concert at the Garrison Theatre on Up Helly Aa day, and also the Hop night concert at Mareel on Wednesday.<br />

Up Helly Aa season is a funny time of year in Shetland and it's something which I have mixed emotions about especially since living in Bristol. It plays an important part of Shetland life, while lighting up the dark miserable winter months.<br />

I'm interested in how digital 3D objects exist in different ways as printed physical artworks. <a href="https://jonosandilands.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/visual-thought.html">Read more about previous experiments.</a></div>

As a child (and even still now) I was fascinated by models and 3D maps and representations of towns. They're like little alternative worlds and toys, and I was keen to get this aesthetic across in this map. As a child I also loved the <a href="http://www.uphellyaa.org/assets/images/route_map_20150122_8bit.png">official Up Helly Aa route map</a> diagram in the programme - which has been the same for many many years!</div>

The original brief was to make a theme park style map, so my starting point to refine the style was to look for some source imagery (above).</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Visiting the halls</span></div>
<div>
I had a checklist of places to include in the map, much like the squads on Up Helly Aa day go around guising, I had to go around drawing each venue one by one using reference imagery from the internet - since I can't just look out my window!</div>

Approaching projects as an artist/designer is a little tricky sometimes. The map needs to be functional as a navigational tool, but the style lends itself to be fun and abstract. To work like this I always saw the roads and land as the 'untouchable' elements whereas, the buildings and objects are where we can have fun. I meant them to be fun representations of the place, rather than trying to achieve unobtainable accuracy.</div>

Being on a tight deadline I had to work really fast - I felt simplicity was important. I'm by no means pro at using Blender which is my adopted Open Source software of choice. I took the opportunity to learn new processes. Investing some time in learning more efficient ways of drawing.</div>

Some elements can be copied and redefined for purpose to save time. I also learned valuable new shortcuts thanks to <a href="https://i.imgur.com/E42hJ7I.jpg">this guide</a>.</div>

Colours and textures were mapped to the objects - some chosen to represent the material and some chosen artistically to root us in the unreal toy like world.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Blender has some built in physics to represent cloth and fire/smoke that I hadn't come across before. When they're a bit tricky to get right they give some great results.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On Friday 25 November, I installed my '<a href="http://jonosandilands.com/project/never/">Never!</a>' custom pinball machine and <a href="http://jonosandilands.com/project/playable-prints/">Playable Prints</a> projects into the Japan Galleries at the V&A as part of their Friday Late.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
November's Friday Late was titled Parallel Worlds:</div>
<div>
<i>"What does it mean to augment your reality? From VR to the rise of AR, 2016 has seen our virtual and physical worlds collide like never before with game design leading the way. Let us distort your reality across a host of arcades, workshops and playful interventions that welcome you into new worlds."</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
It was an amazing event, feel lucky to have been a little *flippin* part of it! Thanks to the amazing team at the V&A.<br />

New power supply + driver issue<span style="font-size: x-large;">Since the <a href="http://jonosandilands.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/never-give-up.html">last update</a>, there's been some progress and uncovering some more issues to solve...</span><br />
<br />
If you're just landing on this post, all of my work on the pinball machine (part of my recent MA) is documented in <a href="http://jonosandilands.blogspot.co.uk/p/critical-journal.html">past blog posts</a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Progress</span><br />
The new power supply (<a href="https://www.cclonline.com/product/58745/NoMfgCode/Power-Supplies/Ace-600W-Black-PSU/PSU0228/">link to model</a>) arrived yesterday and it was fitted right away. It's clear how much better quality it is, and I now realise the old one wasn't really suitable for the project. The advice is to always buy new (the previous was second hand) and to not go down the cheap and cheerful route.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="367" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MR1IlbOJoNQ" width="652"></iframe>
<br />
Continuing my little self set assignment of experimenting with videoing progress and speaking to camera. Not perfect, but trying to find the balance between quick and quality.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Setbacks</span><br />
Fixing this power issue made some other issues apparent - the solenoid (or coil) for the out hole kicker was burnt out. Luckily I have a big box of old parts and had a few spare. Once that was fitted, something still wasn't right...<br />
<br />
The transistor on the driver board which relates to the out hole had also blown. I should have checked it closer before, but now is the time to fix these problems!<br />
<br />
Will be replacing the transistor today, and hope to make another update tomorrow....<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>*EDIT* 18/11/16</b></span><br />
After attempting to make the replacement myself, I damaged the driver board further. Lifting up the pads on the pcb board where you solder to make connections. I've been a bit flustered about making the fix, and also my solder iron is one of those cheap ones from Maplin. I should have thought through a bit more before diving in, I guess I was feeling a bit up against time, considering I will be on my way to the exhibition this time next week.<br />
<br />
MyPinballs (who makes the boards) is stepping in to fix for me and should be turned around in a few days. I can take a breath, get on with a few of the other preparations.<br />
<br />
Updates next week!<br />

<br />
If you're just landing on this post, all of my work on the MA is documented in <a href="http://jonosandilands.blogspot.co.uk/p/critical-journal.html">past blog posts</a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So where did we leave off?</span><br />
It's been some time since I've given a video update about my progress on the pinball machine, so I just wanted to clear the air, documenting the progress to get back up and running again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="367" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mYifV0GLUu8" width="652"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Last week I picked up after some time away from the project. I revisited some of the mistakes & parts that broke down during degree show. Still some work to do, which I am documenting in this progress post this week.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Documenting</span><br />
Lately I've often found myself sat in front of a camera for interviews about my work. It's not something I've ever been comfortable doing, so I am using my own process blog as practice to make that go smoother and less scary!<br />
<br />
Recording progress is really hard to do when so busy. Before it was motivated by being a journal for the MA. I'm trying to get into the way of making it ongoing, and video may be an easier way to do that.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Exhibition news</span><br />
Very happy to be getting the pinball machine out in public again. It's going to be at none other than the <a href="https://www.vam.ac.uk/">V&A</a> on 25 November as part of their monthly <a href="https://www.vam.ac.uk/info/friday-late">Friday Late</a> programme, which is titled "Parallel Worlds" this month. The machine will be placed alongside my recent Playable Prints project, which has been the focus of my summer residency at the Watershed in Bristol.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's been a few months now since the end of my three years of MA Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking. Strange feeling making conclusions and processing everything. It's been a real epic journey. I've met some of the most talented and inspiring fellow students and staff at UWE, while developing my technical and research skills. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The outcomes are almost irrelevant, but for me these really sum up the ambition and direction of my work.</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All of my work on the MA is documented in <a href="http://jonosandilands.blogspot.co.uk/p/critical-journal.html">past blog posts,</a> and now with some hindsight, things start to piece together:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Why Pinball? </span><br />
A pinball machine is a <b>great example of printmaking</b>, from the screenprinted playfield wood to the backlit glass and the potential for 3D printed and digitally cut parts.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">How pinball inspired me </span><br />
I’ve thrown myself into the world of pinball over the past two - three years, during this time <b>I’ve played over 100 pinball machines </b>all with different themes and competed in local pinball leagues, at the time of writing <b>I am ranked 5180th in the World and 121st in UK</b>.

As well as playing I have had the opportunity to develop my professional practice alongside <a href="http://www.heighwaypinball.com/">Heighway Pinball</a> - the UK’s only commercial manufacturer of pinball machines; <a href="http://mypinballs.com/">MyPinballs</a> - a one man company hacking and modifying pinball machines and; <a href="http://www.stateofplaygames.com/">State of Play</a> - the BAFTA winning iOS games developer who have just released the beautiful pinball game, INKS. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Nostalgia</span><br />
I’m hoping to tap into nostalgia and memories of pinball. I believe there is a growing market for digital artworks in homes, creating *almost* a product that could potential be a topic of conversation and of course income as I work together different strands of my professional practice.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The natural progressions within the time</span><br />
The Mini Print and Student Exchange projects were incredibly important to me and worked alongside my main project of building a pinball machine, these allowed outlets for experimentation (and escapism) which ultimately led to the pinball digital prints, with embedded digital screen.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Seeking out reference to how artists are using screen based technology in art</span><br />
We're starting to see a growing number of artists using interactivity and more specifically games as part of their work. Embedding digital technology into objects can never really be made to look seamless, yet we're starting to see advances and ideas paving the way for the future:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;">"Soon to see digital screens that can be made into any physical shape"</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;">"The seamless integration between the real and physical is still an unaccomplished goal: we can usually still distinguish artificial elements from real ones with ease. But when digital projections are involved the border between real and fiction becomes less predictable" </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Please do touch...</span><br />
As an artist, I’m interested in making physical artworks layered with digital technology designed for gallery viewers to interact with. The interaction can lead to new experiences and audiences for art. To do this I sought out national exhibitions that were exploring the topic of new media art to observe methods and display techniques for these types of artworks.</div>

<br />
On a jaunt to London to catch some exhibitions I observed how artists and galleries are choosing to display digital artworks;<br />
<a href="http://jonosandilands.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/displaying-digital-artworks.html">http://jonosandilands.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/displaying-digital-artworks.html</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">On the style...</span><br />
The journey to find the direction in style was tough mentally. I put somewhat pressure on the idea of the outcome, which in evaluating suppressed creativity, and held up being able to move forward at a faster speed.</div>

<br />
<br />
Eventually I realised to evoke memories and pull people in, I had to create references to traditional pinball styles but links to my own creativity, like what I had done in past printmaking projects<br />
<br />
Tutorials with professional visiting artists inspired and helped me make realisations about direction.<br />
<br />
On the concept/style:<br />
<a href="http://jonosandilands.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/pinball-three-theme-concepts.html">http://jonosandilands.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/pinball-three-theme-concepts.html</a><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Outcome</span><br />
I have been in some apprehension about the outcome of the main project since conceivement of the idea. With so many parts coming together at the last minute it could have gone either way really. My planning of having everything ready to go together really paid off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjFGkrbeb0LtbDQG1SxwpGaho05D9yOmd2WG8rWNNEi8VXsVnYcPZiCulHIH5U0z9cQPujBVXCcZHipAlTznoEBMiixpxFKWwqIr6tb3GsB3N6bnrcDjCKXyLcCXOv4pIX8nEOrQuAE9yV/s1600/tumblr_o82rxwoqYX1uv1ns5o1_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjFGkrbeb0LtbDQG1SxwpGaho05D9yOmd2WG8rWNNEi8VXsVnYcPZiCulHIH5U0z9cQPujBVXCcZHipAlTznoEBMiixpxFKWwqIr6tb3GsB3N6bnrcDjCKXyLcCXOv4pIX8nEOrQuAE9yV/s640/tumblr_o82rxwoqYX1uv1ns5o1_1280.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The fact is, the outcome of all pieces of work have absolutely exceeded my original expectations, the concept has driven new ideas of storytelling in my work, with the medium of pinball enabling and opening doors to many different opportunities. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Production</span><br />
With so many parts to the project I planned a staged execution. Working on this over the course of the year has meant I could span out larger budgets and production times for certain parts.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This way of working has meant that certain decisions had to be made at pivotal moments before the generation of artwork or before certain parts were bought, meaning a more retro fit approach to final assembly. (this would be a problem for mass production, but not so much for a one-off)<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What went wrong</span><br />
Usually something goes wrong with projects of this nature while working on a small budget. I just don’t see them as wrong doings anymore, I use this as part of the project. I really believe that a smaller budget can make a project better as it challenges you in creative ways (of course I wouldn’t be writing that in a funding application, don’t worry).<br />
<br />
I underestimated time and labor required of myself to produce a project like this. <br />

<br />
<br />
The main failure was having enough time to fully programme the game. It’s the part that's lacking and when it won’t be hugely noticeable, it will lead to some bad gameplay experiences. <br />
<br />
Not having a scoring system present, when is not to much of a worry in terms of a sculptural gallery work, it does mean that the natural competitive streak in people can’t really be brought out, which is part of gaming!<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Is there anything new you have been taught from this? </span><br />
In terms of skills, many of the techniques were new developments of previously learned processes. Building on these skills and becoming more professional and independent. <br />

<br />
It has left me desiring collaboration. Much of my work is done in solitude and through various aspects such as music collaboration or working with MyPinballs on the game code, I see benefits of asking for help more. <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Would you do anything differently next time? </span><br />
This is usually in the top 10 questions to ask. Although not wanting to sound like I have regrets of what I have done, I think it goes without saying that it would be a very different if I did it again.<br />
<br />
The challenges and effort faced sourcing pinball parts from multiple sources and some parts not being available or having to repurpose something for the job. If a next time. I would find a full and intact working machine as a starting point, instead of piecing together and finding that <b>like a charity shop jigsaw the most important pieces are missing</b>.<br />
<br />
I see what I’ve done as <b>a record of a certain time</b>, the outcome is a certain way due to the many factors and decisions taken, sometimes overthought or made in haste. It’s amazing that it exists in some ways, but ... no I'll leave it at that for now...</div>

Seventeen contemporary printmakers from Bristol, Stroud, Cheltenham and Gloucester will be exhibiting their work in an exhibition that showcases the diverse nature of print making and their unique approaches to the art-form, from traditional copper plate etching and letterpress, through to screen prints from robot drawn images, and digital technology combined with traditional print processes.<br />
<br />
Most of the contributors are graduates and technical/teaching staff from the MA Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking course at UWE in Bristol, but there’s also work from artists who have never exhibited before.<br />
<br />
Many of these artists will have explored and used traditional printmaking methods such as etching, lithography, relief, screen print: but more often the works on show utilise and combine other more contemporary methods of production, such as photography, casting, and embedded digital technology.<br />
<br />
This exhibition creates the opportunity to see the work of some really exciting printmakers and shows the sheer range and multiplicity that printmaking can offer!</div>

<a href="https://soundcloud.com/marshallbrill">https://soundcloud.com/marshallbrill</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Marshall is Producer & DJ based in Glasgow, Scotland, with releases on <a href="https://soundcloud.com/west-end-communications">West End Communications</a> & <a href="https://soundcloud.com/the-exquisite-pain">The Exquisite Pain Recordings</a>. </span>We're good friends from teenage years in Shetland and we've played in various bands over the years. He DJ'd at the opening night of The Art of Ping Pong in 2012 curating an excellent set of table tennis inspired music including the awesome <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebjXsc0UjdQ">Inspector Norse by Todd Terje</a>.<br />
<br />
The Cafe Del Marsh EP was released earlier this year, check it out below.<br />
<iframe frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/185110460&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true" width="100%"></iframe><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Sound is a huge part of pinball and what is so alluring and mesmerising about it: I knew this was something I didn't want to leave to the last minute. </span><br />
<br />
It's been vital collaborating and asking for help in some aspects of this ambitious project, particularly when the area of expertise is out with my skill-set. So no surprise sound is one of those areas, and has usually been something left as an after thought rather than a planned out element in past projects.<br />
<br />
I was behind in finalising documentation about the custom pinball game in order to commission any sounds. Having heard the Cafe Del Marsh EP, particularly the first track <a href="https://soundcloud.com/west-end-communications/spanish-wine?in=west-end-communications/sets/wec005-marshall-brill-cafe-del-marsh-ep-1">Spanish Wine</a>, I knew I wanted to work with Marshall. Leaving as open brief as possible for free reign in the style, with some guidelines for how the sounds could work with the game, visuals of the printed artwork, and some extra pinball inspiration all sent via the <a href="http://jonosandilands.blogspot.com/2016/05/never-audio-requirements.html">Audio Requirements document</a>.<br />
<br />
This is the first time I've written a document to pass onto someone to commission music, so there were a few extra technical questions about how the game works (I've since added these to the original document). But this is a learning process, I'm sure I will be able to create a better document faster in future. I always imagine writing types of things as big scary documents, but they are actually really helpful to lay down direction in a project, I tend to get carried away or distracted.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Within hours Marshall had got back to me with <a href="https://soundcloud.com/marshallbrill/never/s-rYQjW">a rough sketch</a>. There are a few bars of the four different sections of music which run during the game; Intro, Mode Start, Jackpot, End Ball.</b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;">"I thought because of the colours of the pinball machine (bright primary colours), in your face digital sounds might work best. Inspired by the tones in the video of the Greatest Pinball machines of the 90s"</span></blockquote>
<br />
Upon hearing the sketch while standing next to the playfield, I could just feel how things were starting to come together, the sounds really relate to the visual style of the game, bolstering it up as a strong pinball game and artwork.<br />
<br />
Although in total delight and excitement about the sketch, I gave a little feedback to help Marshall finalise the music.<br />
<br />
A week later I was supplied with a <a href="https://soundcloud.com/marshallbrill/never-converted/s-N2fRA">development</a> as well as the final loops to be used in the pinball machine.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The process</span><br />
Clearly knowing each other has helped the process, I'm not sure approaching someone I didn't know so well would have been such smooth sailing. Although my short time frame may have been quite an ask, I think it shows what can be done in a short time and my belief that a deadline helps move a project on to another level.<br />
<br />
Marshall's producing process in a way relates to my own creative making, when there are some days when you can make and tinker for hours and still not be happy with the outcomes.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;">"Its quite fun working with conditions set, not something i do very often at all very easy to get caught tweaking stuff infinitely and never finishing..."</span></blockquote>
It's definitely interesting and exciting hearing the response to the game artwork and the brief, seeing how someone approaches the topic from a different creative viewpoint.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We're both interested in the life of the track past the pinball machine. </span>Marshall has plans to continue working on the song to get it to the point of release. I will also use the full track in promo videos I plan to make during degree show.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Formatting Issues</span><br />
The only issue that has arisen is the format of the audio when installing for use of the MyPinballs Custom Controller. There is a very specific audio format due to the format the boards (running Arduino) can support. It's easy to quickly update using the built in SD card, but not having much knowledge in audio formatting it took me some time to work out a system for conversion.<br />
<br />
WAV encoding for the sound files should be: <br />
<b>Sample Rate:</b> 22kHz<br />
<b>Encoding:</b> PCM<br />
<b>Bits Per Sample:</b> 8<br />
<b>Channels:</b> 1 (Mono)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After some working around I figured out a system for converting the supplied audio for use with the control boards. My process for conversion is as follows:</span><br />
<ol>
<li>Convert audio from 44 kHz -> 22khz using a generic <a href="http://online-audio-convertor.com/">online audio convertor</a></li>
<ul>
<li>For this convertor I use settings: </li>
<ul>
<li><b>Format:</b> WAV</li>
<li><b>Quality:</b> TAPE</li>
<li><b>Channels:</b> 1</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<li>Taking the converted audio into <a href="http://www.audacityteam.org/">Audacity</a></li>
<ul>
<li>In Preferences change the default sample rate to 22050 hz</li>
<li>Export with settings: </li>
<ul>
<li><b>File Type:</b> Other Uncompressed Files</li>
<li><b>Header:</b> WAV (Microsoft)</li>
<li><b>Encoding:</b> Unsigned 8-bit PCM</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ol>
<div>
After this conversion the sounds work perfectly fine, and a quick test of starting a game</div>

There was a question if I was going to have one or not, due to tight timescales.</span><br />
<br />
Now that work on playfield assembly is almost completed it is the time to get the backbox done. I really think it is a necessary component, but my design is very simply a lightbox style backbox. At this point it will have no interactivity with the game only as a sign like panel.<br />
<br />
I'm doing this alongside some other little bits and pieces that I'm still finishing up on the playfield<br />

After some pondering, I opted for <a href="http://sugarartistsacrylic.com/">Sugar Artists' Acrylic</a> brand of spray paints. I was totally sold on the ethic and the benefits of low smell in my tiny studio space!<br />
<br />
As I said, it will be the first time using these types of spray paints, and I notice the difference with the spray caps already, they are not these rubbish ones you get with spray paints from the hardware shop.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">In the meantime I had been finishing the playfield artwork so could visualise in 3D software Blender, how the final may look with a few different developments of the cabinet artwork.</span><br />
<br />
After previous iterations of the design, I moved on from the large logo on the side. Realising that the logo would be quite heavily used throughout the machine anyway.<br />
<br />
This was a chance to really highlight the symbols, I want to spark some retro nostalgia of pinball to draw people in, when they get close they will realise that something is a little different than expected.<br />

Taking some inspiration from classic pinball machines I went with a base of yellow and one colour. The simplicity of this sits beside the full colour playfield, but also highlights two of the main colours present.<br />

For reference I started looking at quite a few woodrail pinball machines this era is mainly flipperless bagatelle style in the 1950's which is a lot earlier than the styles I was mainly focussing on of 70s/80s pinball. There is something much more craft like about these wood rails, and I really like that over the hard chrome metal edges or plastic aesthetic of more modern machines.<br />
<br />
I asked opinions of different people, which option from the four above they preferred, and although a real mixed bag of opinions I knew they diamonds/lines version was the right choice, keeping these references to classic pinball.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Making the Stencil</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After my tests, I came to the conclusion that there was no need to over engineer the stencils. Sticking with paper was the best option all round, proving the most successful results.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<b>However the question of handcutting vs lasercutting was a no brainer at this stage.</b> I was not going to be able to pull off handcutting to any great level. The issue is really translating the large design onto the material to be cut so I opted for the precision of lasercut again. Not only does it give me pin point accurate results quickly, it corresponds to the lasercut playfiield, tying everything nicely together.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Applying the stencil</span><br />
<br />
Learning from advice given during a tutorial with Oli Timmins, I used repositionable spray tack on the back of the stencil to keep it in place and as tight to the cabinet as possible to keep the underspray/blowout around the edges to a minimum. Although I quite like some!<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">First power up and progress of 'Never!' pinball machine. Huge moment in the last few weeks of the project.</span></b><br />
<br />
The assembly is just about complete, still a few parts to add over the next few days.<br />
<br />
The parts and layout are 'borrowed' from a Bally Supersonic playfield, and controlled by <a href="http://mypinballs.com/electronics/store.jsp">MyPinballs Custom Pinball Controller</a>.<br />
<br />
Also my first attempt at a vlog!<br />
<br />
More progress coming soon.

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Ok thats it done, really quick and easy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Pfffff. If only it were that easy. Ha ha ha ha ha (manic laughing)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
The whole driving force of this project was using an existing pinball machine playfield as a donor game (see the <a href="https://jonosandilands.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/pinball-parts.html">parts plan</a>). The idea, saving time developing a layout and sourcing parts<br />
<br />
As all the parts are in place on a wiring loom, the concept is to detach from the original playfield and simply slide across onto the new one.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I knew it was going to be a difficult job, but I underestimated the amount of labor required, a full weeks work from last Thursday till just today!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvz6OKaQoIAEBXJUAN1hoX1EKYGMJGjQPDcMGA7pBz6QEX5DPeLoXMXEcAPmUdJ9xh44A2a3ItlbykE9-iuFNVEu3MkBpvsY9lkeKmhNmdN_blUw1cw7SrPQxRAygwiYg8w8iwUxjuYoye/s1600/IMG_7483.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvz6OKaQoIAEBXJUAN1hoX1EKYGMJGjQPDcMGA7pBz6QEX5DPeLoXMXEcAPmUdJ9xh44A2a3ItlbykE9-iuFNVEu3MkBpvsY9lkeKmhNmdN_blUw1cw7SrPQxRAygwiYg8w8iwUxjuYoye/s640/IMG_7483.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">At the start I took hundreds of photos of the playfield</span>, if I had any accidents or confusion about how parts were assembled, I could reference back. Thankfully due to having studied the playfield closely I didn't need to refer to any of the photos, but it was certainly standard practice, and more so if you are doing over a longer period of time than I was.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5NzFDxRsiKy4ZS7yBuOwzl7PXBP1M6-UPvadwTwqX_DlFJJUiCzBKUg8ygMouSy_shAHug5MUvPuIqf_oHFOie0yBu99PHhc9j4KVCJESxeOZP5K2O0treU6hRkGjucbMkEvU_B90l7rK/s1600/IMG_7486.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5NzFDxRsiKy4ZS7yBuOwzl7PXBP1M6-UPvadwTwqX_DlFJJUiCzBKUg8ygMouSy_shAHug5MUvPuIqf_oHFOie0yBu99PHhc9j4KVCJESxeOZP5K2O0treU6hRkGjucbMkEvU_B90l7rK/s640/IMG_7486.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The process of dissembling the old playfield started with what was perhaps the toughest part last Thursday night. </span>Undoing the staples which held the General Illumination braiding in place. There's really only two ways to remove the staples, prising out with a flat object like a flat screwdriver or snipping with some heavy wire snips (as I found out as my flimsy snippers snapped!). The staples are quite heavy duty so this does take some time, and I damage quite a lot of the braid in my haste. As well as hurting my hands quite badly, but no body cares about my health right!?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Huu_GvUMGCkX4L9V0Fx-SwIirfgSUtFonydV607pP_206mi3_Hfe0I3RiIh1a5lfwWOQTYwiWNDF2yecPoIR7ZW54-j_B41HoM7PafD0mMSbgujko7RzB2yx2KATBSamtFHcaBCpBz8r/s1600/IMG_7487.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Huu_GvUMGCkX4L9V0Fx-SwIirfgSUtFonydV607pP_206mi3_Hfe0I3RiIh1a5lfwWOQTYwiWNDF2yecPoIR7ZW54-j_B41HoM7PafD0mMSbgujko7RzB2yx2KATBSamtFHcaBCpBz8r/s640/IMG_7487.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Once the braid had been mostly loosened, I could start to make my way through removing all the screws holding the fittings in place.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFSIIDfH6q63spTakg6vtXwKUCVi9IuxV6RT_vB4-F7Gt8CthEKGEsYrkqTfeAYLZttOrv8-OI1mOsXxH_tUacjPdAoTVRTm1hFw8O6CmWbxLcb-0igLWAuMmHF6HCFss3FbDg_O7kO7Bk/s1600/IMG_7488.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFSIIDfH6q63spTakg6vtXwKUCVi9IuxV6RT_vB4-F7Gt8CthEKGEsYrkqTfeAYLZttOrv8-OI1mOsXxH_tUacjPdAoTVRTm1hFw8O6CmWbxLcb-0igLWAuMmHF6HCFss3FbDg_O7kO7Bk/s640/IMG_7488.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It is pretty overwhelming, at times I ask myself if I made the right choice using a donor game rather than starting from scratch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9SSH1_ISMLFOZojVL4qayxHfuAbbheOWI7a_dtH9pJur_CWv2jo0kl-HOwV7Y-14C56cJVz6BFCzoLyFcPSHJaCQ7tq2d5Gh9Wq4J27_TIfGY_WIucn0MjcdVNeoaUYorryRpV4vLapF_/s1600/IMG_7484.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9SSH1_ISMLFOZojVL4qayxHfuAbbheOWI7a_dtH9pJur_CWv2jo0kl-HOwV7Y-14C56cJVz6BFCzoLyFcPSHJaCQ7tq2d5Gh9Wq4J27_TIfGY_WIucn0MjcdVNeoaUYorryRpV4vLapF_/s640/IMG_7484.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I can't really stress enough how important it is to keep everything well organised when removing parts.</span> Having the photos to refer to is handy, but just having a separate box for each type of part makes life easier at the other side.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I find it funny to think that this was assembled in the 70s, I bet no one thought about what would be happening to it in 2016.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The next bit was setting the playfields side by side, and use a piece of cardboard to help slide the wiring loom and parts over onto the new playfield.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Lessons</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Some of the problems I had came down to simply not having good quality tools, if I were doing more with pinball in future, I would start to invest in the proper tools. </li>
<li>It really needs more time to be done correctly, it could have been a less strenuous more relaxing process if there wasn't such a deadline</li>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Sound</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sound is a huge part of pinball and what is so alluring and mesmerising about it. My aim with the whole machine is to have references to classic pinball machines while showing my own style and creativity. My theme is a bit unconventional to commercial pinball machines (which are usually movie, tv, music or other licensed theme). See the<a href="http://jonosandilands.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/never-game-mode-outline.html"> Game Mode Outline</a> for more on this.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I’m looking for four original music loops for different aspects of the game. There is also a list of sound effects which I am planning to source from a free music library (due to time and money constraints), these are listed and should give a feel for the rest of the game.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Some of these more harsh mechanical sounds will already be part of the machine, but the bells are not so I’m open to using iterations of classic sounds people are familiar with digitally.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Someone has sampled all the little clicks and bell sounds and uploaded in separate tracks on SoundCloud. These sounds are from a 1970s style pinball machine, the era my machine is based on.</div>

I’d like the four pieces of music to have a similar feel, but also lift and enhance the different game modes to help immerse the player into the game more. I’m happy to use your style as I think your tracks fit really well with what I’m thinking, would be great to take into consideration some of the inspiration above, particularly vintage pinball somehow.<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">How gameplay works with music</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On starting a game it will play the intro track until a mode is started by hitting a target. Generally during a game it will mostly play #2 and switch between that and #1 depending if a mode is activated. The other two pieces would be heard less often unless the player is very bad or very good.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At this point if a target is hit to start a mode it will interrupt the current track. However if a current track is already playing and another mode is started it won’t be re-triggered. I think there will be the possibility to programme more seamless syncing of the music (ie to let the track finish before starting new track).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One approach could be to see the 4 pieces together as one complete track (which could be released? And used in promo videos), conceptually the track on it’s own takes you on the journey of playing pinball. Technically each section still needs to be seperate and loopable for the sake of the game controller.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Format</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To be compatible with the MyPinballs controller I am using, the sounds need to be in a particular format and encoding.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
WAV encoding for the sound files should be: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Sample Rate:</b> 22kHz</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Encoding:</b> PCM</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Bits Per Sample:</b> 8</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Channels: </b>1 (Mono)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Custom pinball by Jono Sandilands</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Game Mode Outline *work in progress*</span><br />
<br />
My aim with the whole machine is to have references to classic pinball machines while showing my own style and creativity. My theme is a bit unconventional to commercial pinball machines (which are usually movie, tv, music or other licensed theme).<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Symbols</span><br />
<br />
The whole game is based around the word “Never” and different sayings, phrases, warning labels, films, music and ideas around the word.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Never A Better Time</li>
<li>Never A Quick Fix</li>
<li>Never A Dull Day</li>
<li>Never Forget</li>
<li>Never Say Never</li>
<li>Never Been Kissed</li>
<li>Neverland</li>
<li>Never Look Back</li>
<li>Never Put Your Hand in the Toaster</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Making N-E-V-E-R</span><br />
<br />
The main gameplay of the pinball machine is to make the word NEVER on the top rollovers.<br />
<br />
Each letter of “Never” corresponds to a symbol and its mode.<br />
<br />
When a letter is collected on the top rollover, [X] points are awarded and the symbol flashes to indicate the mode has started.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Never Modes</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Letter N starts mode Never A Better Time</span><br />
<br />
After starting the mode, depending on the difficulty level set the same rollover must to be made [Y] more times, and [X x Y] points are awarded. On completion the symbol stops flashing and is solidly lit and the mode is complete. The corresponding jackpot light is now lit.<br />
<br />
The indicated jackpot shot is then made to collect that jackpot value.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Letter E starts mode Never A Quick Fix</span><br />
<br />
As Never a Better Time mode<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Letter V starts mode Never A Dull Day</span><br />
<br />
After rolling over the middle lane (V), the ball save gate is open in the right hand out lane (Every Cloud has a Silver Lining (Never Lose Hope))<br />
<br />
Never a Dull Day corresponds to the jet bumpers. Once the mode starts [X] hits must be made to complete the mode. On completion the symbol stops flashing and is solidly lit and the mode is complete. The corresponding jackpot light is now lit.<br />
<br />
The indicated jackpot shot is then made to collect that jackpot value.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Letter E starts mode Never Forget</span><br />
<br />
This mode has two options depending on time to code:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>As Never a Better Time mode</li>
<li>Shots are quickly indicated by the jackpot lights in which the player must memorise and make the shots in order. Hence never forget.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Letter R starts mode Never Say Never</span><br />
<br />
This mode has two options depending on time to code:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>As Never a Better Time mode</li>
<li>Targets are lit to aim and shoot. The targets change if not made in certain time. Shooting practice.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Making all letters / completing all modes of N-E-V-E-R</span><br />
<br />
There may be some winning wizard mode to make all targets to get ‘super’ jackpot.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Other game modes / side games</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Neverland</span><br />
<br />
On the left side lane is neverland, indicated by the Peter Pan silhouette.<br />
<br />
The purpose it to make multiple shots to Neverland to collect the Lost Marbles. There are 5 marbles to collect. The first shot activates the mode, each following shot collects a marble until all 5 are collected. The final shot collects a bonus which would be an extra ball.<br />
<br />
By which time you will quite literally have likely lost your marbles. An idea depending on time is that by completing the lost marbles mode to add depth to the game it would move the player on to collecting the Lost Boys on the Neverland lane.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Never Been Kissed</span><br />
<br />
Never Been Kissed is a saucer which when the shot is made, is held for a few seconds before being shot out quickly towards the left flipper.<br />
<br />
Each shot of Never Been Kissed adds bonus to the current ball score.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Never Look Back</span><br />
<br />
Never Look Back is the spinner on the right hand lane if not lit each spin score [x] points. If [define mode] mode is active, Never Look Back is activated for extra scoring.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Never Put Your Hand in the Toaster</span><br />
<br />
Never Put Your Hand in the Toaster is the bank of 5 drop targets represented by a model toaster and 5 fingers. By hitting each target the finger is dropped into the toaster and scores [x] points. On completing all targets/fingers you have [time it take to make toast] to make the jackpot before the toasted fingers pop.jonosandilandshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14600407816152538993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230699629108849367.post-43081635709651847922016-05-10T21:41:00.000+01:002016-05-29T08:57:44.108+01:00The Space Day: Conference Notes<span style="font-size: x-large;">@ Arnolfini / Watershed, Bristol</span><br />
<br />
Today I attended The Space Day (in association with BBC Academy) as part of Digital Bristol Week 2016.<br />
<br />
I was interested in finding out more about how to go about project funding for future projects, and also test the waters with my current projects to see if that's the type of thing they fund, turn out not but good to know!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><i>1030</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Welcome / The Space</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/thespaceday?f%3Dtweets%26vertical%3Ddefault%26src%3Dhash&sa">#TheSpaceDay </a><br />
<br />
Fiona Morris: Three areas we are looking for projects to fund:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Audience</span></b> / reach / objective</li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Learn</span></b> / capacity / build</li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Case study</b> </span>/ sharability / developing</li>
</ol>
<br />
In the categories:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Capture</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Extend</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Create Digital</b></span></li>
</ol>
<br />
Owen Hopkin: No template, the artwork needs suits the platform and get work more widely seen<br />
Taking a project into the digital landscape is something you really want to do, not just for the sake of doing it. Create a sustainable dialogue. Expected to have a marketing plan<br />
<br />
Applications open end of May, for 10-15 projects<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Capturing Arts for the Screen</span><br />
<br />
Helen Spencer, Fiona Morris, Nick Wickman<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Projects</span><br />
FM: Live cinema projects, national gallery<br />
The camera is a space can be disruptive<br />
<br />
NW: Director. Rock concerts (Madonna, Foo Fighters, Metallica), Live cinema (A View From The Bridge)<br />
<br />
HS: Your Country Needs You with Andrew Lloyd Webber<br />
<br />
No matter the scale of project, where is the audience?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Capture</span><br />
<br />
HS: Performance based organisations get work to wider audience.<br />
Experience in broadcast distribution.<br />
Capturing narritive not just point and shoot<br />
Distribution through partners to build anticipation<br />
The Encounter - limited live streaming to a set time as a marketing tool<br />
<br />
NW: Cinema. Older demographic - biggest growing sector. It’s dynamic. Share the theatre experience.<br />
Metallica live to cinema - stage invasion at screening at Leicester Square.<br />
Where the camera is situated - National Theatre (cheaper tickets for filmed nights), Royal Opera House (cameras are inconspicuous), Rock Concert (production part of the show & the experience for gig goers)<br />
<br />
FM: Smaller agencies can use their cultural experience to curate content - show existing films.<br />
You don’t always have to create content. Many smaller organisations spend a large initial outset on content and don’t see gains/rewards so there is a decrease in smaller scale productions.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Future</span><br />
Choose your view rather than Directors Cut (interactive)<br />
Live streaming does not have a detrimental effect on ticket sales<br />
No financial gain - (free access) - Focus on building an audience<br />
<br />
An audience may not have access to a production due to geographical constraints. The smaller productions arguably more unique as less people can access them.<br />

<br />
One to one with Sarah Topliss<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On funding my current projects 'as they are'</span><br />
Don’t invest in small scale projects<br />
Would advise going to arts council or PM studio / Playable cities<br />
Projects they fund need to see evidence of <span style="font-size: x-large;">audience reach</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Advice</span><br />
Expect full R&D, budget and fully scoped projects<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Analytics</span> measure what projects people are looking at and are interested in<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Collaborate</span> work will be more interesting and sharable take new directions<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">At stage in my career I should be investing in the process</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Things to look at</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.techwillsaveus.com/">Technology Will Save Us</a></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://tisch.nyu.edu/itp">ITP NYU</a></span>- two-year graduate program located in the Tisch School of the Arts</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Using Raspberry Pi in relation to print - is there some niche I can be doing? Like making resources for others?<br />
<br />
Sarah will follow up by email on a few other suggestions.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><i>1400 </i></span>(caught last 30 mins)<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">VR and 360</span><br />
Opportunity to see some different VR headsets and learn about projects in production<br />
<br />
Google Glass, GearVR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive<br />
<br />
Explained the difference between these headsets, including the field of view and how they are used ie Vive tracks your location in a room when Rift and other are designed to be (relatively) stationary.<br />
<br />
Capturing content: 360 video simplest way using multiple go-pros. New cameras being released soon by Google, Samsung, Facebook. We will be inundated with 360 content. People will buy the headsets. Developers will see what people make themselves for inspiration. 360 still images will become more popular again.<br />
<br />
This is completely different from creating full virtual worlds you can control - and grab things for example.<br />
<br />
The technique of presence in a game. Using an object for example.<br />
<br />
Happy Finish - working on a 360 (game? Video?) About an autistic child<br />
<br />
Putting you in other people's shoes.<br />
<br />
Making games with purpose for VR not just because.<br />
