FLAMIN (Film London Artists' Moving Image Network), Lighthouse and Picture This partnered to present Sea-change, an opportunity for artists to apply to spend July to September 2011 in Bristol developing new moving image work in a unique supportive and creative environment. Following on from the successful Bristol Mean Time residency, the artist was invited to produce and exhibit a new project within Picture This' Atelier at Spike Island. In addition, the new work was premiered in collaboration with Lighthouse at a venue in the South East. The recipient of the Residency was Claire Hooper.

The residency incorporated

• Access to studio and office space at Picture This in Bristol
• Production, post-production and exhibition technology
• Curatorial and technical mentoring and support
• Accommodation and travel costs provided
• Production budget of up to £4,000
• Artist's Fee of £3,000

Hooper worked closely with Picture This' production team and was provided with a studio within Picture This' Atelier for the duration of her stay. Hooper also had access to production, post-production and exhibition facilities ranging from lighting and hi-definition cameras to a Final Cut edit suite, DVD mastering technology and projectors, screens and play-back equipment. The Atelier is a large 220 metre square unit within Spike Island on the Harbourside in Bristol. The top lit, double height space will be made available for a production slot during the middle of the residency and for the final presentation of the work to the public.
