Hey all, just an update on how the box is looking. I just need to pick up some lights for the inside.

emergency meeting

Hey everybody, we hit a bit of a roadblock as far as our original design is concerned, the particulars of our technology limits the contraption design in an unexpected way. I know its a crazy time for alot of us, but a few of us are meeting at Gallatin tomorrow on the 5th floor at noon to re-configure and plan stuff out. If you can make it, even for a little while, please do, it's going to be a crucial meeting for the project to fall into place on schedule. Thanks!

IDEAS FOR SHIT TO COLLECT TO PUT ON THE CONTRAPTION

(write your name next to each thing if you have some??)

- wood box
- old belts
- cloth
- water bottle caps
- water bottles (for lenses)
- picture frames (to add to the box like trim or something?)
- random metal things
- random pipe shit
- clock pieces
- lots of extra screws/nails/etc (that we can glue on where theyre not actually even needed)
- copper/gold/silver spray paint!!!

feel free to take hammers to old technological/mechanical things you have lying around so we can use the pieces :)

Contraption question

Hey everybody,
Anyone know where I could look for the old fashioned accordion box camera we need for our contraption/ the dimensions that would work for us? I'd prefer something besides the ebay stuff I've been seeing and really expensive antique shops seem to be my only other option. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
