Week 3: Movement and Rounded Bodyform Ideas

http://www.daniellewilde.com/swing-that-thing/hipdisk/


These images show some research we did into what our body shape could look like and what materials we could use to form it. Unfortunately we didn't get many images of our testing before destroying it, but we did find the idea of using pipes for a rounded shape was really good, and we tried it with kane mail over it.

Week 4: Making the Orb

Image
Will spent a lot of this week putting together the UV light orb that a 3rd person would hold to create an exterior light source for the poms. Using the UV LED's and strip lights he tested out different ways to create a stronger light source First testing various material, such as balloons and thin vacuum form plastic with a single UV LED. The Vacuum form plastic came in white and also clear, which he sand blasted to create better light dispersal.  The sand blasted plastic showed more promising results then the white plastic and the balloon. But just wasn't bright enough to lite up the Pom's or there surroundings as the LED was only 3V.  Therefore, we switched to using a short segment of  UV LED waterproof strip. This was 12V and much brighter but required more battery power.  The LED strips were much brighter and provided the ideal light source. Will then tested the orb...

Week 4: Sketches

Image
These sketches were done by Will while we discussed what kind of shape we were aiming for. The Kane-mail we were using wouldn't hang in the shape we really wanted, so we're currently looking at what kind of materials we can use to create a better structure. We're thinking about using foam to build the rounded structure off a suit, or use pipes to make a round body shape that the shaggy-ness can hang off of.
