Story telling script

My sketches for the story telling session tell a story about my concept and what it looks like. Emphasis is put on inspirational content rather than lab action.


VIDEO SCRIPT — PRODUCT USE

0:30 — 1:00

VISUAL

Slow stop motion transitioning from raw materials into finished buttons.

Close shots of textures.

VOICE OVER

It was like they played the lottery. Onion skins gave the color red. Potato starch gave concave shapes. Egg shells acted as a fillers the way bottox fills lips. Shredded textiles became a hard rough button surface while gelatin gave a shiny look. Dried flowers were left untouched inside buttons, forever looking… beautiful. Small brown cones of alder trees gave a rich brown color.

FABRICATION FILES

molds were achieved by using silicone and molding existing buttons so there are no fabrication files for those but I tried to lasercut out of PVC shaes that I drew1

attempted 3D printing but did not end up printing it, only designed

Fabrication files
