Media Design: Tutor Feed Back and Development

After sharing my concepts to the group, my tutor agreed that my second idea (mechanism) was the strongest and most developed so this is the one I will continue to work on. He thought a good idea would be to show the cells inside the plant form changing, to indicate a significant change in form. I think this would really help to strengthen my idea, but first I will have to work out how to do that on Maya.

This is Redwood Ciders Line Trial. I will use this as inspiration for making my mechanism model as I want it to have more appendages and mechanical structure I will continue to sketch and brain storm to have come to a more defined model before constructing it on Maya.

I will also use the Parasitic Wasp as a large influence on the appearance of the mechanism as I want it have a more insectile, sinister appearance. The Parasitic Wasp injects one egg inside an afford and as the baby parasitic wasp is born it eats it's way out of the afford, inside out, and the afford suffers from a gruesome, long death.
