[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 129140, member: 2806"] With all the ups and downs in Australia, in April, and again in August, it seemed a safe bet that the exhibition wouldn't take place. But, it now looks like anyone who placed those bets stands to lose their money. Opening is just six weeks away and we couldn't be more pleased that throughout it all everyone stayed the course rather than give up in the face of covid. [ATTACH type="full"]38041[/ATTACH] QAGOMA's workshop has been busy since early September reconfiguring the three large room and installing plinths for the bikes. Their film department has created an excellent program to screen during the five-month run, and are deep into the time-consuming task of securing screening rights. Their Public Programs team already has met with several clubs that will stage runs at the time of the exhibition as well as set up their bikes for viewing on the lawn next to the gallery. Ultan Guilfoyle's and my major effort for the past week has been scripting and taping two 3-minute videos for them to supply to the press ahead of the opening. Also, we've been scripting a longer set of videos and audio clips to be combined into a virtual tour of the exhibition, and will turn our attention to that effort as soon as we deliver the short videos. Ultan has the unfair advantage in making his half of the videos in that he's an award-wining professional filmmaker so he actually knows what he's doing. That said, I've made a number of my own unprofessional short videos so I'm not starting from zero. However, it's been a while since I made my last one, and meanwhile Premiere Pro and After Effects have gone through several upgrades so I've had to relearn enough of what I used to know in order to produce something that doesn't look amateurish. I turned a spare bedroom into a studio and dragooned my twelve-year old granddaughter into being a stand in for setting the focus and to tweak the zoom and positioning to get a head-and-shoulders shot with a blank wall behind and without showing the fan above or the bookcases below.

I laughed, because she was obviously right on every count. She didn't know that the final video will have images inserted, but my revised script now comes in under 3 min.
