The Nectar Ceremony
Spirit Animals
By Brandon Mull
William Peng
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.
