Decisions....

After Discussion with Greg Lawrence I have chosen the object of a zip, and its puller which are used as a characters weapon and general tool. I have decided upon this particular prop I as it will allow me to demonstrate a wide variety of skills such as:

-CNC
-Scale
-Machining
-Laser cutting
-Moulding and casting possibly
-Finish and texturing effects
-Product and prop terminology

Dependant on time constraints I would like to express a desire to mould and cast of the master prop to extend more on finishing effects, and further develop moulding and casting techniques. I would like to make the master out of brass, as I have not used this material before, and I feel this would be a good skill to have. This is not a requirement of the brief but would be beneficial on my behalf. The zip dose not need to be accompanied by tape or teeth as this is excluded in the film and is not required, again this is not necessary but would allow the prop to appear more completed on a stand at the New Blades show.
