This semester the Multimedia students are collaborating with the Architecture students. We learn how to make models and they learn how to use software like After Effects. So we both learn something new. On Thursday we had to create 3 modular structures out of boxboard. We weren't allowed to use glue or any other adhesive to connect the pieces together so we had to come up with a seperate technique for each of the structures. I used the slot, the tab and the groove techniques and I also used scoring and that helped me to bend the thick cardboard into a more desirable shape. Unfortunately, I misunderstood that we were actually supposed to post pictures of our experiments on the blogs, so I actually threw mine out, thinking that I won't need them anymore.
Later in the day we were formed into groups to work on the first part of our assessable assignment, which is going to be a stop motion animation. This is what one of my group member's modular system looked like:
The group decided to use the prototype that was already made in class. The prototype pictured directly above, offers many manipulation possibilities. It is simple on its own, but is capable of being constructed into complicated shapes. Each piece joins to another via slot system, in other words, each piece is fitted with multiple slots for greater shape possibilities.The 30 seconds of animation that we are required to shoot, is to explore the potential of the modular system through a visual narrative that our group has to come up with.
Shooting day - Saturday
Update: ...And a bit on Sunday due to horrific weather today in the second half of the day!! :(
