Filming

Here are all the scenes that made the first cut. I used Final Cut Pro to edit the video and splice all the scenes together. It was not a simple task, as can be seen in the final video, there are scenes that required split screens, titles and alot of cutting. I had to find time at my cousin's office to do the editing as at QUT we don't have access to video editing programs :(. I figured that the Rocky theme song fit with the cliché nature  of the video.

Case Design

 

The case is curved abs mould or extrusion. It has 25mm radius corners. It is designed to be wide enough for the fish to fit into it yet slim enough so that it is easily mountable on the wall and is aesthetically pleasing.

Wristband

Since I modelled the fish and the tank and was in charge of the video, Lisa created the wristband. I did some small sketches for her so she understood the internals and how they worked. We want to have an LED array on the band to give the user feedback on their heart rate while they run. This red one was our first concept. We decided that the black part looked too fat and bulky so we revised it and designed the yellow concept below which had 3 moveable sections. which would fit better to the wrist.

This concept allows users to slide the band up their arm for a tighter fit. Sliding it up their arm will actually increase the precision of the heart rate monitors.

Super Yoakim Bro

•Simple horizontal movement

•Projects interactive images onto walls

•Creating interactive and interesting spaces as a form of temporary entertainment.

•With speakers connected could also output satisfying noises.

•Horizontal movement combined with vertical movement.

•With sound effects to better enhance entertainment or message.

Note: Screw you all you people who said I could never live in a videogame!!

•Security scenario

•Applications are not limited to entertainment

•Scuffing sound and warning sounds can be made.

The projector is designed to be placed on the underside of ceilings to project the images onto walls.

•Three horizontal sensors

•One vertical sensor

•Outdoor Projector

•Retractable for vandal resistance.

•Made from 2mm Stainless Steel.

I decided to make it out of sheet metal as it is very strong and vandal resistant. Also I can make a model out of it easily. I will just flat pattern it and make a drawing of it then stick the drawing onto some cardboard. Then ill cut the cardboard out and the drawing file will tell me where to fold as well!

PYROELECTRIC MOTION SENSOR

How it works

Advantages

•Extremely basic and cheap technology

•Detects single direction movement.

•Theory is that if this technology should work then results and experience can be improved a lot using slightly more advanced technology made for more specific uses

•Each one of these basic sensors costs $2 from hardware store.

I also figure that if I can create this video using Final Cut for the first time then what can be done with the projector will also not be limited.
