Final Video Submission

Design REHAB's final video has been fully completed and uploaded onto the internet.

The video was created in such a way so that it could be shown to everyone and not just deco1100 students. We didn’t want to limit the audience of the video to those who are involved in the course. In order to do this, we had to alter the language in order to allow the audience to understand. We did not mention a thesis but rather utilised a question that was delivered to the audience to allow them to understand and reflect upon the video easier.

We hope that you all enjoy.

Editing the Video

Blake has been working hard editing the video for the final submission. He has been using Sony Vegas in order to arrange all of the clips onto a timeline. He has had a fair bit of trouble however with rendering out video previews for the rest of the team. When he would render the video, the percentage of the video rendered would stay at 0% and the estimated time left to render the video would keep increasing. 

However this problem was then resolved after some troubleshooting and the preview videos were then able to be produced for the team to preview. 

Blake has utilised subtitles in order to provide the audience with some meaning in regards to what the installation is about.

Please stay tuned for the final video which will be completed within the next few days. 

Design REHAB, Roll Out. (Deployment Day)

Design REHAB, Roll Out. (Deployment Day)

The day of deploying the installation was a well-planned morning and the team we ready to go early in the morning, 9am. We sent out Edward to print out the required cards for users to write on. As Alison and Ryan could not make the night of painting, the end result was prepared to be a bit of a surprise for them (in a bad way).

After about an hour of Edward going on the hunt for a place to print, he notified the group that he was unsuccessful in his endeavours to print. This caused great issues for the group as Ryan attempted to print from a printer at home, when he also got an unfortunate circumstance where his printer broke whilst printing. This delayed our original plan of setting up our installation at Post Office square by 12pm, to being at 1pm, with Alison saving the day by printing the cards ready for the deployment of the installation.

 Blake and Ryan were the first to arrive on scene with the installation and began to wait for the rest of the group. When the rest of the group arrived, we realised we had to set something up for the users to write on, so using our engineering skills (even though we do not do engineering), we used Blake’s Jett’s card and a clipboard and clipped it to the installation. At around 2pm, we were ready and put the installation to the test. Blake, Edward and Ryan began filming the interactions while Alison sat inside the box and talked to the GoPro for a near 2 hours. The group finished on a positive note with getting 7 users to post, but a total of 11 users that approached the installation.

Building the Installation

Building the Installation 

In order to build our installation we picked a day on the weekend when we were to build. Alison was kind enough to offer some space in the International House college where we were able to cut and stick our cardboard pieces together. Blake and Hilal were able to source most of the cardboard from Bunnings in Indooroopilly.

They also bought some spray paint in order to paint the box. It took our group approximately 2 and a half hours to construct the box. We then migrated over to the Hilal’s house where we started painting the box. We soon realised very early on that the spray paint was not working as planned. We originally planned to cover the box with an undercoat of white in order to provide a nice professional surface to apply the bright colours. However, this wasn’t the case so we decided to resort to plan b which was to make the box as ugly as possible while still keeping it colourful. We eventually finished the box at 11:30pm and the box was put into Hilal’s garage for Blake to pick up in the morning.
