Orifice progress

Re-filmed orifice sculpture against green screen so white blue and red colours flash behind it as opposed to the whole screen as I tested before.
I have also taken a heart monitor video graphic from the internet and edited the colours so they are red and blue, I couldn't work out how to make it white, I don't think its possible. It will be playing on a loop on a small monitor, as if it were in a hospital, to really suggest the sculpture is living. I will make it seem as if the sculpture is connected to the monitor by a tube and a needdle.
Actually looking at it now,the red one looks more orange, I may have to edit that again. The colours are to correspond throughout the props/work in the installation to give a feeling that they are all encompassing, or taking over/invasive. They are the colours of the sculpture and coincidentally the colours of Tesco. This is not a direct dig at Tesco, or anyone for that matter, but 'The Orifice' is a satirical installation that suggests all the worth lies within the orifice sculpture itself. The fact that the default colours matched a huge corporation like Tescos' logo was a happy accident that matches up with its suggested representation of society's wisdom.
