Updated Prototype

Here is a few pictures of my prototype fully working!

Each photoresistor controls different things such as rate of video, fading between videos, and sound. Although the piano is still present, I want to change it but have not figured out how, but it has a nice sound to it so I will keep it there for now.


Excuse the blurry images, camera was playing up. :(

Physical Model and Visual Ideas

My idea for visuals is finally put into fruition. Since my physical model will be affected by light, I wanted to show this through the footage. My concept is to use Wellington at Night as a theme, and use footage from Wellingtons lighting at night. As well as this, I will create artificial visuals in After Effects to compliment these videos. Here are a few pictures that I have used for inspiration. I will create some videos as well to show off my ideas.





Having discussed the layout of my electronics for this project, I set to work designing the layout for the photoresistors.


This was my first attempt to get the LSR working with Arduino2Max, which was succesful. I started designing a prototype to use for testing my visuals, but I ended up hooking up the resistors in the wrong series, but now I know where to put them!
