3rd Metaphor Blog Post

This is the third week review of our metaphor machine creations. This weeks energy was spent on the actually creation of some real objects. We have created a to scale blue print, started the actually creation of our machine and elaborated on our metaphors. 

The blue print was created by Gabi and Nash our two architects. The machine ended up being 24″ by 35″. They drew the ramps the scale and the bell to a 1 to 1 scale of what our machine will look like. They are kinda at a stall with drawing some of the objects, because we are kinda in flux deciding how some parts of the machine will work.   

  

The actually building of the machine is not going quite as well as I hoped it would. We are lacking the odd material here or there, so we will have to make sure we bring some more stuff so we can get stuff done! What we did get done I am happy with. We created the ramps for the machine and got the pulley system some what functional. 

  

The metaphor creation and elaboration on our script went great as we got a pretty cool sounding script. 

  

My only worry is that we won’t actually be able to use all the metaphors because we won’t be able to create all the machines.

Overall I thought this week was a little slow, but I am mostly happy with our progress. I hope next week we can put our nose to the grindstone and get some stuff done.
