Week 8 - Draft items

Draft Model: 43%

Draft Model: 68%

The above model is the 43% cut. This model attempt to represent exterior impact as recorded in the first experiment where the structure experienced sliding effects on the impact point. The 68% cut model represent the interior and exterior explosion characterized by the bulging and tightening of the model.

After discussing my idea with Russell, there was a need to do major alterations. The cuts I’ve used on the model are very set or regular there was a need to break away from this as explosions often create irregularities.

Week 7 – Playing around with Solidworks.

Week6 - Misinterpretation

Misinterpretation of the task to model the cactus building. However it was a good experiment with Solidworks.


Restart the cactus model.

Review Documentary Clip: You Shi David

The different scenes are very well organise and effective in communicating the hypothesis. Once again the synchronisation of the background music was in force.

Review Documentary Clip: Christopher Heard

The division of different scenes and placement of captions play an important role in explaining the hypothesis.

Review Documentary Clip: Derek Georgeson

The video is successful as it showed very well thought out experimentation. The process in which the documentation was recorded is interesting as it gives the viewer insight to how the scene was created. The synchronisation of the background music and the video is also important in conveying the message.
