preparations

On monday I had a meeting with Otto and Everyn about the project, and they sugested I went more in the direction of a ball for a less calculated clinical result. also they brought up how it could be given to people to use. I also tried modifying my cardboard roller to record to the side results in the video->

On tuesday I went along with Zak and Judit to north shore steel, The inital shock of trying to work out what you need was a bit like when your in a line at a fast food resturant and your congnitave train of thought is broken by someone who "knows you from primary school".
and I managed to go into a flurry of words when trying to describe a possible construction method for Judit's design. In the end I left with two 60cm X 60cm 0.8thick sheets and two bars which I will use to mount the camera onto.
upon returning I worked out the maximum size of the circumfrence based of using the current length.

2πr= 60cm
r=(60cm/2π)
r=9.549
diameter = 2r
diameter = 19.09 cm

17 digonal reading across the back of mr cammy cam
grip side |- 9.3cm -| tripod mount |- 5.6cm -|
this side is scarily close to the radius since it dosent take into account the bow of the frame, so i will have to ofset the camera.

From this it will be a close fit to get the camera inside without it protuding, another possibile dificulty will be getting it inside in the first place. with having to dismount the lens being a strong possibility. and a removable mounting plate possible. one way I could increase the diameter is by removing diagonal strips, instead of the usual parallel to the current bounds, this will increase the lengths possible for my main shape with smaller peices being used to increase the frame structural integrity.
