SIBLINGS: INITIAL INSTALLATION PLANS AND TECHNOLOGY

I spent a lot of time considering the installation of the piece for my MA. I chose the location as it is where the studio shoots are to take place so the setting of the shoot footage and room will match. It is also the right size as I want the 3 screens as large as I can and After much consideration research and mini experimentation the following are all needed for testing the installation in the TV Studio at Suffolk New College.

• 3 Projectors ideally the same and with similar picture quality.
• 3 ways to play the video content. Possibly laptops OR buy some media players.
• 3 VGA leads to connect the laptops or media players to.
• 3 Speakers or sets of speakers. Ideally with own built in amplification. To run from above.
• Leads (phono OR mini jack) about 3-4 metres long to connect speakers to media playing devices.
• 3 plinths OR a table with a black blanket etc to cover to mount projectors on.
• 3 16:9 screens to project onto. Size a maximum of 1.6m by 0.9m to allow for set up.
• Cord, fishing line or string to hang projection screens from the lighting rig.

As far as the screens go the options are finding them in college, buying some floor standing ones old or new or making bespoke options using frames and canvas or paper.
