I like it when I've done something

So ideas are starting to form in my mind. I have continued with the idea of layers and also experimenting with different visual forms and virtual experiences I could incorporate into my trash can design. Ive experimented with lots and lots of balls falling into a space where it had see through walls so you could kind of see the course and the way the balls pass through the space and i was quite intrigued by this. I built an amateur machine to just start off and got some snapshots because the wegame camera wasnt working on the computer. Must get a video next time! I'm thinking of making a bigger version of this, maybe playing with the size and colour and texture of the balls and also to make the form the balls travel through more organic or experiment more with the form of it in 3ds max.

Just started experimenting with little contraptions and looking through my office. The whole idea of this project is to look through our "trash"-ed objects or thrown away ideas and make something awesome. Was looking through the first week poster project and got inspired by the layers of paper i stuck on my face. started thinking of working in layers etc. Still on the concepts page.
