Thesis

I am remaking the nectar ceremony from Spirit Animals. This is when you summon a spirit animal, so that is what I am going to recreate. In this book, this is when the Heroes of Erdas summon the four fallen, so I will make an interactive hologram, so when it starts playing, you will summon one of the four fallen, and be given a card with details about the great beast you called.

Day 1

؜Today, I have made the hologram animations for each of the four great beasts after much trial and failure taking far over an hour. Along with the animations for each of them, I have created what the back of the beast cards will look like, and started with what information it will hold.

Day 2

؜Today, I realized that there can't be any background or ground, or the hologram won't work. With that knowledge, I had to re-make my videos and remove the floor and backround. I have also started my card info

؜Day 3

Today, I continued filling in the information for the cards, and did the thesis. I am halfway through the cards, and I now suspect it will be easier and quicker, as I figured out the format I want to put it in

؜Day 4

Today, I finished my spirit animal cards and filled in the info for each on. I was correct and it was much easier with the format done. After that I looked at a couple hologram videos and decided I would either do a box hologram or a pyramid. the box is more clean, but all the videos I see are with phones so I don't know if I can do it with a computer.

Day 5

Today I officially decided to use the hologram pyramid. I figured out that for the chromebook the dimensions for each trapezoid should be the bottom width is 4 inches (10 cm), the top width is 0.5–0.75 inches (1.2–2 cm), and the height is 2.5–3 inches (6–7.5 cm). Lastly, I made the laser cut file.

solid progress

Day 6

Today I rotated my video into the four sided format, and attempted a laser cut for my projector but sadly it failed. After that I realized why that was, and fixed it so that I can laser cut it tomorrow.

Day 7

Today, I reattempted the lasercut and it worked, but it took all class to make and it was very messy. I also designed the cards to make them look less boring

Day 8

I worked on a new laser cut over the weekend at my house and it turned out very good. I also printed and laminated my cards, and put a hole in a box to see the hologram through. Then, at school I covered the box with blue paper and glued a Welcome to the Nectar Ceremony sign on it.

Day 9

Today I realized that my info cards were wrong so I changed them. I also decided that I would give out tattoos of the spirit animal they call.
