Interactivity Plan Early Arrival, Set Up and Clean Up Plan


Main frontage
Showing guard tower-- Kantina and lounges behind-- Elliot's Bus and "Twin Towers" of the bike rodeo area. Sundry heavy weapons await out front for battle or to repel raids on the compound.
Below shows the manner in which the scaffolds will be secured to Elliot's bus. Our banners attached. We even thought running slide shows onto a screen!!!


From the APOKILIPTIKA SFX Dept.... behold the conceptual drawings on the look....





New camp marker sign, with white LEDs built in!!
Espresso Dude sent a pics of a portion of the wall fake destroyed walls he's building. The plan is to have this on the corner section of the camp. Terrific job!! The portion of the 50 Cal Machine Gun added for scale. The highest parts of the walls will be over 7 feet.




This project is essentially complete. The smaller rubble sections and sand bags, etc are in the works. Lots of the drapery stuff is done. Our goal is to have a unified look of debris and ruin across the entire frontage.

APOKILIPTIKA celebrates the Demise of Cities. We are creating an ambitious bombed-out, rubble strewn environment with facades of ruin. We will be creating a full frontage visual effect. Across the frontage, large plywood panels, 3D walls and structures will depict the ruins of a city. On the right will be an interactive space framed by two scaffold towers anchored to a modified bus. This space will offer a unique bike rodeo, as well as a bike repair service. A set of midway style spin and toss games will occupy the area as well, garnished with Coney Island Style carney-circus art banners. Mutant Vehicles will be parked out front for display. Members are planning a set of frame and fabric tunnels that BRC citizens can enter taking them to various features of the camp. Night lighting will involve street lights like those in 2009 with dramatic colored light effects.
