Extra notes: Used different camera so sound is a bit poor. For the feet that our sticking out, there will be an art easel cover them, so people can’t trip over them.

The back drop will have a train, which is a plastic sheet so the floor will be white.

My father said to me, “Ben you don’t do things by half measures do you!” I replied, “I do things with out any measuring it seems”

I worked out the wood size so it wouldn’t be too tall, which I got spot on, however when I ordered this backdrop, my brain must’ve forgotten all laws of physics, time and space.

But it has worked out for the best, as I said in the video it looks freaking awesome, when I have this baby setup in a shopping centre every person in a ten mile radius can see it and will swarm to it, like bugs to a soft light.

Walls, God-damn Walls, still struggling to find something suitable!

I’ve decided to go with a different backdrop system, something slightly more expensive but much more durable build. The backdrop is going to be around 1.8mx3m and made by Lastolite going to my local store tomorrow to order. I’ve ordered my IKEA tables, complete bargain other than the delivery cost being more than the tables.

All I need is to get my head around the walls and a wall display and then I’ll be cooking!

I’d say I’m about 80% complete on the preparation, I’m excited and desperately want to set it all up and start taking some photographs.

Also today, I emailed four local shopping centres asking about spaces and availability.
