Sketch Presentation AKA 1st check-in
- Each group went around and presented their approach/sketch of the problem
- We have an open calendar in terms of other shows happening at the same time.
- We have have free-reign over molding material
- By the same token we have different approaches toward curving the molding
- Different type of jack options
- normal jacks,
- arbor jacks,
- inverted jacks,
- pipe bracing/reinforcing,
- rigging point
- Discussed different methods for flat construction
- Standard Hollywood construction
- Stud wall construction
- Curved flats
- Sound muffling materials
- Flat breakups vary by group.
Creating a Calendar
- Have intermediate goals
- Deadlines for builds
- Have realistic/ practical expectations for goals
- Have checkpoints that can be checked off as the build takes place.
Prototyping
- We want to tackle the hardest part of prototyping first, and know exactly what we want to have answers to.
- Try and figure out the hard parts/ parts that have the greatest impact on the technical design and do those first as the build depends on them.
- Create a plan for prototyping our own projects.
Prototype Calendar
- Next class session we will discuss “How we know what we know” and “how we can go about prototyping based on that knowledge.”
- March 14- Jack-Door prototype demonstration
- March 21- Curved flats/ molding demonstration
