Discuss the new décor ideas!
From the last meeting we have:
- Gas mask totem pole
- Absurdly re-purposed power plant console

Just going to lentils now for food then Jeff and Tam are calling it a day
Rory has to program it.
Will have lasers doing a chase pattern, some addressable led rings and there's a few EL wire outputs on the same controller so he can do EL chases
I'm thinking I'll attach the last 5 or so masks tonight after dinner 😊

Here's us holding the rest of the small masks in place
The big ones (whole head) masks didn't really work
So thinking we can either wear some or hang them from other poles in a shade structure to help tie the whole thing together thematically.
Will prettify it etc
It has masks all the way around it pointing in all directions
Prioritised putting masks higher up at heights people can see
Need to come up with a way to decorate knee height and below
Maybe tubing or something

Anyone happen to own a low wattage smoke machine?
It'd be cool to drill big holes in this and pump smoke through it...

Still need to send an email to decom with a proper proposal - so far only communication we've had is verbally with me and a quick facebook convo (screencapped above)
If we get the grant then it'd be good to just buy one and build it in there.
$37 from dj city 500watts
if anyone sees any lower wattage units also going for cheaper then post a link
Rory can modify it to have a timer function by hooking a relay up to the remote input and interfacing it with a microcontroller.

I bought a couple of old metal jerry cans at a garage sale a little while ago. Fits the theme and also has utility!!

Could you put a picture of the jerrys in the concept reference thread?
Andrw Waugh Mon 26 Oct 2015 3:27AM
Yay :)
