Having made 4 solid moving contraptions, I then wanted to see how a user could interact with them while capturing it on film. Should the user be shown in it? Should it be more about the objects and the movement of the objects? I filmed two tests, one with the user in shot and oneContinue reading “Film tests 2&3”

After making the last film trial, I really wanted to find a style of film and plan the final film properly. One thing i needed to work on was the editing of the film. I really like the idea of a looping video, a video that plays on repeat seamlessly and transitions into each shotContinue reading “Editing trials”

After (semi) finishing the conveyor belt and added mechanisms, I wanted to have a go at getting someone to interact with the contraption and filming the process. My aim before I had made the film reads as follows (from the last blog post)… ‘I would like the film to show how the individuals intake effectsContinue reading “Video Trial”

After making the conveyor belt, I began to add the individual mechanisms. Here is the process… Although having taken much longer than expected, I’ve come away with a fully functioning fibre control mechanism. I would really like my final film to convey the relationship that individuals have with their diabetes technology; the labour that goesContinue reading “Conveyor Belt III”

This was the original chain that I had made to go round the cogs and act as the belt but unfortunately because of the dowels being different widths, it was taking too much time to sand the dowles down / glue the chains on to the dowels for it to become coherent so I hadContinue reading “Conveyor Belt II”

After making the fibre system, I really wanted to put it to use. I had aimed to make a short video that displayed how the machine works with someone using it effectively. I wanted to make the cuts quite short and sharp so I put it to this quite fast and upbeat tune. It endedContinue reading “Out of Body”

After making the first ‘fibre system’ that comprised of a 30g fibre recording contraption, and separate rotating bowl that you would put missing grams of fibre into, to release chia seeds that are full of fibre and additional flavourings that would make up the rest of the 30 grams, I wanted to take the machineContinue reading “Conveyor belt”

I absolutely loved the project review, not only was it nice to look back through my own work and see what direction my own project is taking, but it was also amazing to see everyone elses work; to see the diversity in projects and the extent of contexts that ‘design’ spans. I thought everyone’s projectsContinue reading “Project Review”
