Boot Machine Mount

For the boot machine we decided to use rotary cams to lift and drop the beaters similar in the way that Michael Kontopolous has done so in the video below

We have built the rotary cams at uni using the fine art departments facilities, we then used dave to weld a mount onto the motor in which a rod can be screwed. We took this to hackney and attached it all to a larger mount we previously built, and to our amazement....it works! Another success, a little too successful if you ask me....watch this space.

Binoculars x Persicope

Our initial intention to just use a set of binoculars is not going to work if we want to viewer to see the animation through the praxinoscope machine. The praxinoscope is too low, so we have decided to combine it with a periscope turned upside down.

This works in theory, but we have not actually mounted anything yet.
