Animation, demoscene, Budleigh Salterton
Got back from holiday and it is time again for Sundown. This has happened too quickly so this post is an attempt to gather some thoughts.
Previously I have done stories for OhmyNews but the English site is dormant. there is a discussion on citizen journalism so I may relate to that. I regard Sundown as a major event for South West England or whichever part I seem to live in. So blog format could try out some ideas and become a story later. More is possible with video.
During Animated Exeter I tried to make connections demoscene / computer animation / music video. Not sure what will happen next year. There is an interest in early computer animation. What to call it? James Whitney as an example, if only because featured on Ate Bit blog
So there is a demoscene connection. I also found a blog post about Decode / Recode , current at time of Kinetic Animation
shown at Animated Exeter

I still have a DVD by Paul Gillard. This is a music video. It may be a bit long. But I see music video as the future for whatever this sort of animation is called.
I notice there will be dj music both evenings. I will check out links later.
There is current interest in locations and social networking. It usually seems to me that the Town Hall is a disconnect from Budleigh as such. There may be a visit to the beach but the art in Budleigh is likely to be in a frame.
I have been thinking about a Secure Digital Frame. This would include a screen and some device that displayed but could not be copied. The approach is nothing like the demoscene but might interest artists who need an income. The context would be free content regarded as promotion. Dangerous ideas, just as trying to cobble bits of blog into an e-book.
