Week 9

24/08/2013 - 25/08/2013
Friday i ask my teammates to gather at IIS in the morning so we can move the boat back to my place so i can paint it. So we meet up at IIS and Leon is sick during that time but he also turn up to help us. We carry the boat all the way from College to Pjs9. I feel so lucky that my house is near to the college. When we arrive at my place we all already cover with sweat.

I bought some paint at Friday. and i start to polish the surface of the boat with sandpaper before i apply paint on it. Show the picture below show some of the progress i did for these few day. I use almost one day to polish the surface then apply a layer of white color paint on it and let dry. And this basically what i did during the weekend.

25/08/2013 - 26/08/2013

Kah Suit bring the extension box to me today. So i can start to paint on it .

After class i ask my team mate to come over my place so that i can check on their progress and then i continue paint my boat again.  After painting the boat, i help on design to create some of graphic that are need i also ask Leon to find more free vector design so that we can use in the animation.

I tell Gerry and Kah Suit how animation need to be animate. Then i created the hunter to show hunter hunting animal.

I also created a jetty for the Boat to land for the ending.

After check on the design that Kah Suit share on Facebook, i create a vector design of how it should be layer and upload to facebook to show Kah Suit.

I also find some of the city scene free vector i search online for Kah Suit. So she just need to apply texture and some colors.

At the meanwhile, Leon are helping Kah Suit to find more free vector so we can faster our progress.

After painting for the last three days, the paint is kind of not enough so during the break i bought some more white paint and some blue paint for the highlight. After class, we all gather at my place to boost our work. I continue on my boat so that it be exhibit tomorrow. Kah Suit was trying to finish up the design so that gerry are able to finish the second part of the animation.

Since Leon is almost done with his part i ask him to help Kah Suit to collect more city since photo since the City scene is still in progress.

After making sure everyone is doing their work, i went back to painting and fixing the boat. I double check every single part of the boat to check where are the spot that i miss out during my last painting. 

Before i came back i bought some mounting board to create a new slanted box for the projector since the previous is still not that steady.

After that i start painting on the boat again and the paddle with first layer then i apply another layer for the boat. After the boat dry i use ruler to measure and mark the size for the highlight that i am going to paint in blue. I use masking tape to separate the part to make sure that i will not paint out of line.

Then i still left a paddle to make but is hard to find wood now. So i ask Leon to help me buy a clipping board to clip paper that make of board. Then i break my broom stick then i modify by using sandpaper , saw and hammer. I spend quite sometime here finding people to borrow equipment and sawing the wood.

When i almost finish that i realised the time is kind of late already so i tell them to go back their house to do. Since Leon just recover. Since Kah Suit and Gerry said that they still left some part not done so i ask them to discuss on Facebook. Then i continue on my boat painting apply another layer of white color to make it look glossy. 

Due to the wire's holes that i give to Kah Suit father is too small so i ask Kah Suit to borrow one electric drill from her father so that i can make it bigger. So i drill some of the holes to make it double the size.

While waiting for it to dry i create a box for the flex sensor to hide it so that it can merge with the boat. So i measure the size and use the leftover of the mounting board to create the box.

After finish this, i find gerry to test it out with the boat and it turn out just nice. then i continue to touch up the boat and when i finish is almost 3 am. After taking a shower i check out how my group progress. At that time the design almost finish just left animation. But gerry already slept, i think he will wake up to do so i trust him and i continue on checking and refining the proposal and what are the thing i will need to do during the beta test.

I list down a list just in case:

1. Create new infographic
2. Proposal
3. Survey form
4. buy masking tape for wiring 
5. bring tina and drill just in case the projector cable cannot fit.
