some of the places i went to as research for the ubiquity project

Ubiquitous project...

The trouble and beauty of this project was there were so many things to focus on; transport, genetic engineering, medicine, food, art etc…
Everything is affected by, if not based on, technology.
I’ve enjoyed this project because I spend a lot of time chatting with mates about future technologies and how we will live/survive with it. So this was just visualising those conversations.
Technically it was quite slow and awkward because I had to send .FLV’s through flash because I couldn’t find a converter. This was no major problem but slowed down the process considerably. The quality of internet film bothered me too, it looks awful, even at ipod size, but short of cleaning everything on magic bullet, which seems like overkill, what can you do.
I’m OK with the result, I’m pleased with some of the research, and a couple of the edits. The voice needs changing, the text to speech is an obvious and slightly irritating element. This would work better with a presenter, in a more standard documentary style, and to be more concise and focused.
