[F&V] Kinetic Beasts: Final Model – Process and Development
*Group OSS by JJ and Fran Refinements We redesigned the frame such that the syringes would be at the side and the ‘fleas’ would sit in the middle of the model. This way, it’s easier to operate the mechanism with swiping motions of the arms. Making of Final Model At this stage, we were still trying to figure out… Read more →
[F&V] Kinetic Beasts: Prototype – Process and Development
*Group OSS by JJ and Fran Selected Movements and Senses The initial movements that we chose were the dog’s running motion and flea’s jumping motion. However, we felt that these two movements didn’t have much co-relation with each other, hence we changed our selected movements to the dog’s scratching motion and flea’s jumping motion. After all, it is the flea… Read more →
[F&V] Kinetic Beasts: Dog Prototype
For my dog prototype, I decided to make a wayang-inspired puppet to capture the running movement of the dog. My initial idea was to make use of gears to imitate the dog’s movement (as shown in the video below), but it was too complicated for me to figure out since it requires engineering and math, so I stuck with the… Read more →
