I think that the way Frankencircuit came together was a good example
of the "hollywood Model" if you will, Phil the director, (producer as
well maybe) the artists as cast, Bill, Simon, Cyrus, Tyler and others
as crew. And it was sucessful IMO in the first real example of the
whole vision of the Complex. It only happened on site in the couple
days before the event. If anyone wants to post their contact as a
tech consultant for re:Make It! please do so. My plan is to start
going to Meow Wolf starting next week and building and brewing some
fun stuff that can be wired with lights, sound, etc. it would even be
fun to build a project during the day on saturday, in a workshop
environment....
In terms of what skills I can bring to a production: art department,
set building, post production, sound design, I can also haul heavy
shit around. My skills aren't really marketing, PR, and technical
things.
And sorry I can't make the wednesday meeting, it's my full day of work
unfortunately.
