DSDN101 Final clip

The final clip is miles away from what I started with but in the end I think it's better than what I was expecting. The first Idea I had would have been too long to finish before the deadline anyway:

DSDN111 Project 3 final

DSDN111 P3 Summary:

For this third project I used an analytical approach of the hip joint to help me decide on the set of movements I wanted for my final form. Looking at the movements the bones in the hip could move, I mapped the limits of those movements. Using that mapping of movements I looked for different ways of emulating those same movements without simply using a ball joint. The end result is a combination of rotation, sliding and hinges, encapsulated in an outside structure in the same way as the femur slots into the pelvis bone.

DSDN101 Clip critique Christie Higgins:

  Christy has a very interesting and well done clip on her blog. She used text and drawing to communicate here ideas in a clear manner. I found the colors to have been well chosen as children tend to respond better to vibrant colors.

   She has a clear idea of where she is going with her clip and her final idea. The final clip will be done in a similar fashion with text and pictures appearing on screen so as to get her message across. The only point of criticism I would have for her final project is that she wants to have the whole clip be in black and white with only the logo being given any color. Even though this would put the emphasis on the logo thus helping it stick in peoples head, I think it would diminish the global interest the children would have for the project as they tend to register less with dull colors whereas if the clip were to have some vibrant colors in it, the children's attention would be drawn thus resulting in more participation.

   Over all, I think Christie is on the right track and I would be curious to see the final clip.
