Furthemore 2026 Holography Panel
a month ago
General
With the assistance of many people, I did my holography panel at Furthemore.
There were no injuries, no major spills, and we managed to make 14 holograms,
but completely lost track of time. So I'd like to apologize to the next panel...
I did the exposure stage.
Noelle handled the processing stage.
Bryus did the finishing stage.
Everyone, including Drifa, Strings, Bryus, and others I failed to properly
record helped with setup and tear down. We had to cover the windows with
table cloths and a lot of painter's tape.
The film and the laser behaved, but several objects drooped during the
exposure. Its /always/ vibration...
The big lesson learned is to add opening the door to the cycle... Right
after the bleach. And a beaker for measuring developer which is more easily
seen in the dark.

Glad it went well.
I learned when scheduling my panels, to ask for the longer time slot. If more time is needed, I put it in the comments.
And perhaps only do 12 holograms next time.
Have you tried panels on different days? How does that effect attendance? Sunday morning is tempting, but people will probably be comatose...
