New video releases

We’ve begun to film performances of work related to the Lab’s focus in the Bath Spa University TV Studios. In July, Bastard Assignments came in for a day to shoot two pieces, Josh Spear’s Extended Play and Edward Henderson’s Blow/Suck. We did a lot of takes, working with three cameras and green screen, then Josh and Edward edited the footage to produce the first two films. We’re going to film some more work over the coming year and release it via the Lab website.

See the videos page to view the films, and there are a few shots of the green screen filming here
