Ordered the boxes...and a few other things!

Ordered the boxes from a site that lets you build your own, this way we were able to specify our exact dimensions and order a variety of sizes, these should arrive in a few days. also we got some corrugated paper, coloured vinyl tapes and some other choice parts!

Some more objects

These are some more of the objects that will be built into the machine, with more to be gathered in the coming days. We hope to have the machine constructed by next monday/tuesday, ready to start filming.

Initial Objects

We spent the last week gathering materials for the machine. Now that the studio room is available we started the process of moving everything we need into the space ready to start building.

These images show the objects and components we plan to use to build the machine. Some of the parts have movable elements that can be animated and we are planning to paint a lot of the objects. (see image of paint pots for our colour scheme)

There will be a lot of shiny metalic parts and even blue LEDs to set off the flourecent pinks and blues that will give the machine an 80's electro style. A lot of the electrical equipment is actually from the 80's too so should add to this style.

Backlit @ The Factory

For the next couple of weeks we'll be working at The Factory with an art organisation called Backlit. Backlit is run by a group of local artists and they are happy to let us use a great space within the studio.
