Story telling script

I do not have the knowledge or skills to create a garment that is fashionable.

Fabricademy...has empowered me with enough skills and persepective to create a simple, utilitarian garment out of ordinary materials...that is thoughtful and sensitive to environmental and social issues.

The M1N0 project is an electronically enhanced wearable that addresses the issues of textile waste and garment making accessibility by the masses. It's simplicity is both a reflection of my skill (or lack there of) but also a nod of appreciation to a tradition of garment making that is beautiful because of its humility and usefulness.

Key Explorations - Abstraction > obscure the human body
- Precedent > historical design and fabrication reference
- Utility . emphasis on practicality and functionality
- Mythology > temporal agnostic form...not style
- Hybrid Fabrication > Analog & Digital fabrication

Key Intent - Simple to fabricate
- Economically accessible by anyone
- Culturally coded
- Timeless
- Electronically enhanced

Storyboarding

Flow Thematic > from history to the future

• scene 1 Traditional Japanese flute music plays over a black screen...setting the atmosphere
  
  
• scene 2 A rudimentary 2D animation plays while expository text is displayed..."Learn from the PAST, refactor for the PRESENT...and FUTURE fiction"

- scene 3 The music changes as a blurry black and white image...suggestive of a Kurosawa movie from the 1970s appears
- scene 4 Still images transitions to motion pictures in black and white (heavily referencing Kurosawa)...emphasis on showing the M1N0 garment's form and flowing movement

- scene 5 A black screen transitions to a screen of spring flowers in full color...panning to see the M1N0 in full-color...in a traditional Japanese context


- scene 5 Stills and close-ups of the M1NO...showing form and details

- scene 6 The 'Traditional' section ends and fades to black

- scene 7 Slow music changes to aggressive modern music...cyberpunk still images shows the electronic enhanced M1N0 in its night guise

- scene 8 The electronic M1N0 is shown in motion...in the rain

- scene 9 The modern M1N0 end section ends with a black screen...the music transitions again to upbeat rap music...and the closing credit section rolls
- scene 10 The video ends with a final shot of the modern M1N0 and Japanese kanji characters in red

FABRICATION FILES

The M1N0 was primarily handcrafted...intentionally so, as the ability for the garment to be made by anyone was an important point. Some 3D printed parts were designed and fabricated to house and install electronic components into the M1N0.
