Creative Enterprise

I emailed Bruce Mahalski, a New Zealand illustrator and mural artist to get a potential quote for painting the outside of our shipping container. He cut and pasted a previous quote that was for 4 shipping containers so said to divide the cost by 4

Another quote for container modification This is a full break down of costs for the modification of the container from a mechanical engineer. From this, we can see which costs could be possibly cut out through koha such as the labour, as this accounts for over half of the total cost

We want to get in touch with Storybox, a wellington design studio well know for their interactive spatial design to get an idea of how much some of the project would cost.

Storybox is a small creative studio located in Wellington that is renowned for its video design, installations, involvement in arts festivals as well as other areas of design. Lighting buildings such as the Wellington war memorial, app design and customising shipping containers for pubic lighting displays is a few of the things they have done. They pride themselves on finding innovative ways to connect with audiences.   It is possible that if our idea were to come into fruition, we could work along side Storybox to create the interactive immersive space we have come up with. A handful of projects on their portfolio includes the use of a shipping container, which tells us that with them it is possible and at a high standard as well. A few notable examples of the work they have done that relate to our idea include. Wellington 2040 An interactive exhibition that aimed to get public engagement for some of the City councils 2040 plans. Some of the pop up containers includ...

Sent Email: Response: It was recommended that the waterfront would be the best location over our alternative spot of lower Cuba street. I went on to contact Toby Acheson, Senior Advisor of Event logistics and venues at Wellington city council, however, We never received a response this was quite disappointing as this would have given us valuable information about event organisation and exact requirements that would benefit Te Kotare in the future.

Notes from supergroup interim presentation: Or feedback was very positive, especially Our group in particular. They were really excited about the immersive space and thought New Zealanders would respond really well. There has been lots of discussion in the media along with the election as to whether Te Reo should become compulsory in schools and lots of other initiatives to boost the Maori language. From here we are going to continue working on our immersive space. We will produce a concept alongside a budget as to how this design could be realistically implemented.

We are looking at achieving this outcome through Video Compositing using green screen.   This pop-up space enables us to focus on a multidimensional approach to children’s learning styles to create a complete package which will cater to all children’s need.   These images show how these pop-up spaces could look in real locations.   To prototype our idea, we used the program Photo booth and uploaded one of the images created by the resource team in our joint group as a background. This allowed us to prototype what the background would look like with participants interacting with the backdrop.   This has given us an idea on how we could achieve this at a higher quality. We are looking at doing this through Live Video Compositing, which involves having a green screen backdrop.

Similarly, the neon lampshade projects a turntable on to the floor, allowing the children to control the music, while recorded stories are broadcast beneath the chair. "We tried to make it feel as natural as possible, to contrast the hard and faceless materials of the rest of the building," says Cottrell, as we look up to see adult patients at windows above, enviously ...
