Summer Shoes ( Final Group Project )

Right after our ' Fuse ' project, we were briefed in the lecture hall for our final project which is to make a movie based from our prototype. Our class is divided into 3 groups and consist of 6 to 7 team members! Each of the group have to come up a script of the movie and we can choose either one of the prototype from the team members! My team, which is called Legends. along with Darren, Bryan, Nick, Kah Yee and also Sue Zhua gathered around and discussed about the genre of movies we are probably making. So, I came up with my own movie based on my own prototype which is my brush. Here are some of the photos of the synopsis and some ideation sketches about my prototype!

Movie : The Brush

After meeting up with Mr Charles at Coffee Bean, he asked us to collaborate each other and also watch some of Youtubers  and finally after days of discussing we chose Kah Yee's prototype which is her Summer Shoes! The shoes that Kah Yee designed is not only for comfort and design, the shoe Kah Yee designed created has another function too! which is to hide hidden stuff for conveniency. Darren wrote the script of the story and we took several weeks to film it and also editing it as well and believe me, the filming and editing process took forever! In addition, we decide to film an ad and we had no idea on how to film it! We're not sure about the position for us to film it, or even the lines and lighting as well! In spite of that, we managed to submit the video on time to Mr Charles and we had fun times filing it! Here are the sketches of ideation and the link below of our group's video.. Please watch it! Thanks!!

FUSE!

Its been awhile after our assignment two and now we have been tasked with another assignment which is fuse! We were briefed about it in the lecture hall and was told to come out with ' Six Thinking Hats' thing and I literally had no idea! I googled and basically, its a creative method of thinking process in a detailed and cohesive way, and in doing so to think more effectively!

Later on, we gathered around in class for tutorial and Mr Charles showed us how to use this method for our assignment. Basically, we are to combine two words, an object and an effect and from that, we expand  and give some opinions about it into six thinking hats that consist of six different colours. We have black colour which is the critic, the blue which is strategy, red with emotions, yellow with brightness and white with information. Later then, I came up with four difference ideas.

Edible Underwear

Squirting Colour Pencil

Butter Glue-Stick

Food Tumbler

Few days later, I met up with Mr Charles alone for more info and after looking some of the ideas, he asked me to choose the ' Squirting Colour Pencil ' as my prototype and from that I have to 'SCAMPER' it. Wait what? SCAMPER? Never heard of em so I went to lecture and Mr Charles showed us a video about it and here's the link below about SCAMPER in case u didn't heard about it..Enjoy!

I went back home again as usual, go straight to my study table in my hostel and started to SCAMPER! At first, I did had some hard time thinking about but after watching the video over and over again I managed to SCAMPER! It ver simple, SCAMPER stands for Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put-to-other-use, Rearrange, and from that, we sort of expand our prototype's ideation and also can choose one of the design to create a prototype! Here are some photos of my SCAMPER in case you wanna take a look of it.

Our next step after SCAMPERING is to create a prototype. At first, i bought a syringe and water colour pencil and then combine them but unfortunately it did not look presentable and I bought a brush with a little ink storage on top. Then, I poke some holes and made a little modification to the brush and inserted a shaved water colour pencil in it, which is the lead... Then, I added water into it and it works! Here are some pictures and videos on how does it work! Till then, I see you guys very soon for our next final project!
