	== 3D Model ==		=== 3D Model ===
	In Google Sketch Up we created a 3D Version of our microscope construction. Most of my colleges are going to use a 3D Printer. <br>For that they had to build more complex 3D models. Since I'm going to produce a lazer cut, my model allows different physics. <br>Because the peaces can interlock and build cross over points I can build it with little material. All peaces have a depth of 1.5 mm.		In Google Sketch Up we created a 3D Version of our microscope construction.

	== Stage Construction Cardboard Model ==		=== Stage Construction Cardboard Model ===
	Creating a model in cardboard will help to improve the construction. In fact I did some mistakes in the measurements, I didn't see in the 2D model. <br>Now I have to figure out the exact mm of every element, because the laser cutter charges every second it runs. I also have to change the side walls, because the model is very fragile.		Creating a model in cardboard will help to improve the construction.

	== ~~Lazer~~ Cut Components ==		=== Laser Cut Components ===
	The illustrator file you have to prepare for the laser cutter looks a little different than this picture below, that has changed colors. <br>I changed them, because the "ready to go file" has too thin lines. To illustrate the more important issue with this graphic, please look at the overlay of the lines: <br> The lazer will be running a lot less seconds, because it cuts two sides with one stroke. That is more efficient in money and material.

	== FSH Assembly ==		=== FSH Assembly ===
	That's actually the most fun part for me so far. The hours of measuring, card boards and re-sketching pay off and I can assemble the <br>beautiful parts, just finished by the laser cutter. I promised my self a little but more steady construction but with a little glue it works surprisingly good.		That's actually the most fun part for me so far.

	== Idea ~~Scatch~~ from Amel and Nils ==		== Idea Sketch from Amel and Nils ==
	Some group sessions improved the creative outcome and the work process. I'm now collaborating with Nils. <br>Our idea is to use the original size of our microscopy video footage, to create a moving collage. In this animation the <br>elements will have different surfaces that will be our videos. Nils already had an animation (black/white) that helped <br>us to illustrate the ascetics with some screenshots. Beside the interesting aesthetics, we were inspired by the idea <br>to create a high quality video by using a lot of little videos.

	The video footages, taken by our DIY microscope appeared very roughly. The resolution as well as the image quality were defined by glitches and a certain limitation in color and saturation. At the same time the aesthetics were new to us and we were impressed by the visual outcome of accidents and random happenings. We started by focusing on aesthetical aspects and the idea to combine a micro and macro world. For that we were inspired by a video detail of one second from Alfred Hitchcocks movie "the birds" from 1963. Which is one of the first commercial movies that adapted experimental video and sound effects. After animating the footage with vector graphics we assembled the surfaces with microscopy videos that are matching to the objects. By changing the video elements with several visual and timing effects we aim to carry further an abstraction.		The video footages, taken by our DIY microscope appeared very roughly.
