On Sunday Hannah Brown, Heena Song, Julian Hand and I visited Optikinetics co-founder Neil Rice at his home to pick up some of his old projectors and talk general light show shop.

While we were there he gave us an impromptu light show using a four-projector, colour wheel and vintage Optikinetics Solar System set up he’d made then let us all have a play. Here’s a clip of just some of what we achieved using the kit with a set of custom slides I’d made under his direction. This is all analogue, no digital FX, shot against the wall in his living room by Hannah using her phone then edited in Premiere later.

The song is an edit of ‘Through With You’ by The Lemon Pipers, one of Neil’s favourites, they also have a song called ‘Rice Is Nice’, hence the title of this post.
