Et Tu Moogie?

Published Categorised as Life in General No Comments on Et Tu Moogie?

Last night I went to Moogie Wonder­land. It was Ides of March themed this time, and I made them some stuff.

This is a projec­tion on the life of Juli­us Caesar made with card­board and chro­makey. It’s clunky as hell, and there’s no way I’ll use it for uni, but I got it done in time for the event, and that’s what matters in this instance. (Also the audi­ence is drunk people, and they’re not known for their attent­ive­ness or atten­tion to detail). My main beef with it is there’s too much text (it was the only way I could think of to get the story across when I didn’t have time to do more soph­ist­ic­ated anim­a­tion) and most of the silhou­ettes are too basic. I’m going to remake it, with much better compos­i­tions and just gener­ally at a high­er, more soph­ist­ic­ated level.

Before I went, I went round Tukru‘s and we drank some Parma Viol­et vodka I’d made (put sweets in booze, wait, drink). Last time I made it it was deli­cious, and foamed slightly when mixed with lemon­ade. This time though it made huge heads of sugary fluff, which was just wrong. I don’t know what happened, maybe it’s some­thing to do with differ­ent brands of lemon­ade or some­thing. We drank it anyway. Drink­ing cold drinks out of mugs also confused my brain, it kept expect­ing hot tea.

The other two things I made were games based on Roman fortune-telling. The birds had twee fortunes on the back, the liver had fortunes based on bad puns about the romans culled from Carry On Films, Up Pompeii, Life of Brian and any groan-worthy one I could think of.

There were videos to explain:
