prototyping

Experience Prototyping lasting for five weeks was over. I didn't insist on my blog from last week because I was too busy to do the projects. And sometimes I couldn't think of anything to say.

About last week, we learned Experimental Image Making. Simply speaking, just taking a great many photos and running them fast, like movie. I thought it was much simpler than arduino coding, but actually it was taking longer than expected. We needed to consider many elements for each picture, position, background, light, color, even the shadow. After taking a photo, we just can move the object a little, quite a little, and couldn't move any other things. But some stuff is so small, I felt I was doing surgery, super careful. The only pity thing was my computer have some problem, it couldn't install the Dragonframe. So in the postproduction work, I was just an onlooker. The video is on my group members' hand, Sor and Camila.

About this week, back to arduino. I think it is summary of what we have learnt in past several weeks. The topic of project was so wide, made me difficult to decide the creature. In past time I have learnt a lot about coding, but I still have no interest in it and couldn't achieve the project alone. Thank god, it was group work. Finally we made a crazy dancing doll, never stop blinking and dancing. So if the next project still need to use coding and must be finished individually, I have no confidence, I don't think I can do it, I need more help.
